None of them were okay. Those were small small tools with few (sometimes only one) uses.
Generations earlier, famines, diseases and lead-leeching plumbing made rulers insane and entire cities of people die without any help from the "best tools".
Scifi is always written about the best tools. The issues arrive in the tools and in the hands that wield them both.
This is all wildly short term mania.
Most times it's pretty simple, in my experience. A CEO either runs a business as a (1) Sales focus [best deals and vendors] or (2) Marketing focus [best reputation and trends] or (3) Investor focus [best boardroom friends].
Lots of other opinions are usually thrown out until there's really only one facet used for running the company.
Once all these brilliant workers are stacked and mentally stunted and decayed because they were removed from any research.
What does the AI really "do" (if it can) and for who that can pay?
Interest rates in fiat currency, these days, are not due to scarcity of lendable funds. Saving rates by consumers actually are just a low-risk or high-risk form of rent seek8ng., depending on the economy.
There's no world these days where a vast amount of collected wealth by a few makes credit suddenly cheap for all consumers.
All wage earners will still be able to drive up inflation if they demand goods that are not able to keep up easily... therefore pressure to save (to not take out debt) will raise interest rates fine by itself.
Unless we are talking about fiscal-based government spending (and interest on fiscal debt), no increased access to credit will become "better for all". Businesses can absorb all the credit offered during good times and consumers may see none.
Business failures will suddenly dump some assets on the market at fire sale prices, but a lost job makes those fire sales of little solace.
Then, sir, it would be foolhardy to contribute any part to that service because soon it will all collapse.
That's, in a historically commonplace fashioned see today, is what the top 10% are doing when seeing the top 1% abdicate all responsibility.
Low or no taxes? Sounds good ... but it's going to burn down soon.
Inhabited areas everywhere and non-inhabited areas everywhere have had an extreme growth in wildfire.
The gains stay the same be cause they were examples to other human-apes with other invisiible-line kingdoms.
Sum totals for the coal spewing nations and states among us are far worse.
Anything innovated must come from outside or have a very close permutation to be found.
Generative AI isn't scary at all now. It is merely rolling dice on a mix of other tech and rumors from the internet.
The data can be wrong or old...and people keep important secrets.
A million more layers of "freeing" yourself and you are back to where you started every time.
An ape granting all impulsive choices the ability to undo anything long-term at all.
Futility is a real thing for some dreamers to accept... but plan-less-ness is not freedom.
It is bondage to short-sighted repeated failure.
It could easily be a compiler-based protection: any opcode that can generate it from two/one normal input must be checked for normal results.
This is similar to how C++ gives few guarantees but "new" and "this" never give null or unallocated values.
Draining capital into the wrong ones will be common and easy. Then the bubbles will burst and we will see how much raw capital and debt actually pay out.
You remember all those? Strange. Thst seems to be blocked from you reading it.
mindless apathy in the real
and then solipsism
the least of all realities.
Holding your breath will leave more oxygen for whoever survives .... but there won't be as many who need it left alive.
Deflation is deadly unless you worship coins as the only valid measure of economics.
speculation... wasteful monopolization and other rotten externalities ARE the problem.
and since when are prices of land decreasing suddenly a terrible thing?
the question is how much do we want to waste and how many should die?
Great Recession? Hidden pricing cartel systems in insurance and finance? Huge subsidies and protections to "help business" with no press to cover its failure?
Info is suppressed by flooding and distraction far more than by conspiracy theories' spawn.
It is buoyancy. It lifts few people up very high as they push down more that go down under the waves.
Welcome to your role as either a Nazi or a Mao-style communist. Lying is not a creative writing class.
