We are transitioning as a species from knowing to not knowing. This change is so jarring, so scary, so unimaginable that 99.9% of people try to solve it with their knowing. They fill the air with words of prediction, ideas and certainties.

hey - love your stuff, and appreciate the lateral thinking. however, i'm not sure the changes to AI are as meaningful as they're being made out to be compared to the experience of previous technological revolutions. from rumelt: "Compare the changes during your life to those that occurred during the fifty years between 1875 and 1925. During those fifty years, electricity first lit the night and revolutionized factories and homes. In 1880, the trip from Boston to Cambridge and back was a full day’s journey on horseback. Only five years later, the same trip was a twenty-minute ride on an electric streetcar; with the streetcar came commuting and commuter suburbs. Instead of relying on a single giant steam engine or water wheel to power a factory, producers switched to electric motors to bring power into every nook and cranny. The sewing machine put decent clothing within everyone’s reach." (cont)

I've spent the last 4 years working on practical ways to understand not-knowing better and become more comfortable with using it: https://vaughntan.org/notknowing false or illusory certainty is more damaging in the end.
