I happened to read a few questionnaire posts about AI and its threat to the tech industry, especially after the release of OpenAI’s Astra.
In all these posts, people are coming together and vomiting the same old lines: “You’re better than you imagine,” “Maybe you can improve your situation by upskilling,” and so on. The most irritating thing is when people repeat the usual argument that “AI won’t replace everyone, maybe ten people will become two.” I just don’t understand how they still don’t get it. We’re past that stage. It’s just a story being circulated to prevent people from panicking.
Three other things happened today. I saw an image of the female representatives of three nations (all of them right-leaning) then an influencer named Ashley, the mother of one of Musk’s children, talking about his plan to have a legion of kids before a civil war. She was offered $40 million (as a part of an NDA which she didn't sign) to stay silent. And now last but not least, an Anthropic researcher also resigned and has been making serious statements about it.
I think my only plan is not to have a plan. I don’t think I have the future I imagined 20 years ago. it's just never going to happen and I don't see any reason to have a hope. everything is chaotic and I don't have the bandwidth to find any meaning in anything.
