Rick Rosner: Political forces and climate change are leading to rapid changes in the way billions of people live. You know, the point of what I’m saying right now is, around seven or eight years ago, we were among the few people talking about this. And now, there are quite a few people, who are considered experts, discussing it. These are individuals you’d listen to, like Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and others. I’m not sure if Hawking talked about this before he passed, but many tech billionaires, venture capitalists, and high-tech pundits have started matter-of-factly stating that AI is going to fuck everything up, in both good ways and bad.
We were a bit ahead of our time, and now, well, that’s not all. Everyone at a certain level is talking about it. Anyone who wants to educate themselves can share their concerns and mostly their understanding. However, it’s not making a huge difference in how people behave. There are more shows, and given the hundreds of shows available for streaming, there are a few more about AI and the future. Most of them are shitty and stupid, but at least they exist. So, people who are smart enough to think about what the future might hold can find the thoughts of others who aren’t complete idiots, as well as plenty who are.
We can expect more people to start thinking about it and more signs of technological and AI disruption as the years go by. We’re still in the early days of this disruption, especially compared to what’s coming later. But it’s not too early for non-schmucks to consider it, which leads to a whole other topic.
