>if you were high on a rock by your cave with a good view, you knew you were safe.
But you also knew that you had to go on the hunt again tomorrow.
So do you: it’s called a job.
And you still have to worry about traffic/accidents, performing well, getting fired or laid off, getting berated by customers/clients/bosses, plus any number of additional anxiety-inducing events.
Most of us would probably still take that trade, though: at least sitting all day kills you slowly relative to a mountain lion.
Carrying this forward, we humans will have to work on better systems, because it's about to get worse/weirder. Our brains aren't designed to be good at detecting lies visually -- we have mental processes for speech, but visually, what you saw was always real. Now with AI in the mix, it's gonna get... messy.
