I’ve often made the point that generative AI is an amazing tech much like asbestos is an amazing material: they have qualities that feel like genuine miracles but at a human cost so high that broad adoption is only possible if human life is devalued beyond what has been acceptable up until now

But much of the adoption of generative models doesn’t come from the few it does well, but is driven by those who do not understand the job they’re replacing.

@baldur your "AI is the digital insfrastructure abestos", is the AI counter part to the bitcoin "running your car 24/7 to solve sudoku you can trade for heroin".

I'm going to use this all the time now, thank you for the analogy
