That’s kind of my point though, nothing is every really designed for the food of humanity, we evolved in an environment and adapt or die. It may seem hopeless while we’re living through it, and it may be ‘different’ than the past, but it’s always different, from the wheel to agriculture to the printing press to mass production, things are always taken advantage of by those with the means to do so, and we always come out different in the other side, were just living through this one and everyone feels special in the time they’re living through. Just imagine the days of the printing press and how powerful those who owned the press would appear.

I still consider us in something like the teenage years as a society, just discovery something big like the Internet and social media and we’re going to handle it poorly until we learn to handle it responsibly.

Heads or tails whether we make it to adulthood before the powers that be manage to wrangle things in their favor first. Signs point in a bad direction, but there’s no saying that the tools that worked on society before won’t break when the next thing comes along. Maybe ai will take a form that liberates, or hits the powerful far more negatively than it hits the masses.
