Contrary to the chorus, I find this mad episode in our history has been going surprisingly well. I mean, it's a lot to process and the speed is ludicrous. What did we expect? What is the baseline? 80% approval in face of unprecedented uncertainty?

We are adjusting, we talk about things. I hope we will keep doing that.

AI has ruined blogs, programming, killed girls in Iran and is used as an excuse for firing people. And you think it is going surprisingly well?

It isn't. People are beginning to wake up now from their propaganda-induced sleep during the first three years. It is always the same. People are trusting and initially believe the con artists.

Blogs haven't been ruined, we're commenting about a blog post right now!

Programming hasn't been ruined, at least for me. I'm building more than ever.

The military had way more collateral damage pre-AI, so I don't see why you're blaming AI and not the people who used it.

I think it's going great so far, tbh.

Non sequitur. What's next? Are you going to tell me a musket and a machine gun are basically the same?

Previously, you had a tiny number of shitty, obvious photoshops. Now you have industrial nudification at scale.
