AI is this generation's nukes. While nukes would destroy the environment, AI will destroysthe economy and most of our dreams and ambitions.

Which is why you let your HS grad brother in law operate on your brain:

political scientist Henry Farrell: “The fact that none of the DOGE people actually understand how government functions is a feature, not a bug. If you understand the workings of the federal bureaucracy, you are almost certainly part of the problem, not the solution.”

@Snoro 30 years ago as an undergraduate student in a USian university, I learned about this. I was naive. I thought that learning about this meant that, obviously, people who were in power were doing something about it.

But, alas, no. They were too busy listening to someone promising them glistening dreams of endless growth.

If we lay people get it, why don't they? I am SO not understanding this!

It's depressing, too. In the past, we could trust expertise and authority to some extent, especially in the health field, yet now??? There is nowhere to turn for the most part. There is no longer informed consent.

The Dark Ages have stolen up on us. They have now arrived. 😞 😡
