I used to be the most excited-about-tech kid. Tinkered with coding around age 10, built tech companies, generally felt good about the improvements technology brought to the world.
I just watched the Google I/O keynote. "So whatever's on your mind, you can come to Google and truly ask anything"
I feel visceral disgust. Where is this taking our social fabric, our values, our skills?
I feel like the remaining truth of the world is vanishing in front of our eyes and all the skills I used to be proud of are turning worthless.
Is anyone else feeling the same way? I have never experienced climate anxiety, because I was and still am hopeful that we might be able to stop the catastrophe.
But with AI, I hear the crowd cheering dystopia.
