I finished watching "The AI Dilemma" presentation from the Center for Humane Technology. It. is. so. good. It's an hour long but if you only watch one 1 hour YouTube video this year you should make it this one.

I especially liked their framing of algorithmic timelines in social media as humanity's "first contact" moment with AI. ChatGPT and other large language transformers are the "second contact". It occurs to me that a big reason Nostr, Scuttlebutt, Mastodon, and other decentralized social media networks are attractive is because they are largely AI-free. I imagine this will quickly become a selling point for certain apps and relays as AI takes over mainstream tech throughout the next year.
