Something is missing. Perhaps a feeling of relevance. A feeling wafting about like a smell; the scent of us diminishing against a backdrop of AI and ever increasing capital, enabling more power and more concentration 

Maybe we want to matter; to participate. No, the tech won’t slow, but maybe we want to be human, ya

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

Honestly this.

I feel that the question of meaning will only loom larger.

And it might be then that arts and music as an act of creation and teaching might have a Renaissance.

My naive hope at least. Passing something on to the next generation as a sense of purpose.

We'll see haha. 

I do believe though that people might realize that creating is actually more meaningful often than just generating something at the click of a button. 

And that there's joy in struggling through the process of learning something from scratch. For the sake of it. Not for some productivity gainz.

There is one line of thinking that says after AI has advanced far enough the only thing left for humans to do will be to entertain each other. Imagine if this future AI, in its wisdom, refuses to create art and music saying “no, that is for humans.”
