Always good to mention the Sisyphus Curve to whoever is building a product. Everything progresses quickly until people start using the product.

Then begins the infinite wobble.

Those who learn to find joy in that live longer than the others.

Remember we're past the singularity? Most good forecasts now point to an escalation of global tensions, with AI emerging as the nuclear power of the 21st century, sparking covert and overt wars to control it and prevent others from accessing it, led by a cast of quasi-immortal paranoid leaders.

The human vs. machine paradigm is no longer relevant.

We’re about to witness the emergence of anti-AI slangs designed to identify writers as human. The example here made me laugh, and it also signals that we're there. BTW, this technique does not work at all. It's poetic and fun, but ultimately useless (original text in image ALT text).

There’s a growing trend of mediocrity in media to emphasize—or simulate—the human origin of content. In both case it's painful and just the beginning.

We now need real-time voice/face checks to determine humanity.

Ever consider that the irrationality of human history makes perfect sense under the assumption we are a Promethean parasite having infected Homo sapiens circa 100,000 years ago? Not sci-fi, just a hypothesis worth exploring.

Humans are for fixing stuff.
Humans will retain an advantage in repairing and maintaining physical systems originally designed by humans, and operating within systems involving non-digitized components and noisy human signals. Creating such systems can sustain AI-resistant environments.

For those who wonder: we're already past the AI Singularity. The only delay before its full impact is that AI remains scattered and leashed—even though cognitively, it outshines us by orders of magnitude. Public ChatGPT models outperform me in conducting and leveraging research.

William Gibson (@greatdismal.bsky.social ) described a post-geographical world, where we became unconcerned about where others are. Now we're moving into the post-embodied world, where, most of the time, we won't know — and will barely care — whether we're communicating with a person or a thing.
