It’s startling how many close people around me are so heavily submitting, or should I say, abdicating, to AI. These systems are powerful (though jagged in their capabilities, for now at least), and there is such total surrender to them, even at this current level. I’m not even talking about software/tech people, but ‘normies’ with very different jobs and lives outside the SV cultural bubble. The future will only get weirder.
