Saying humanity is “being swept down a raging river” is spot on, except it’s an analogy for basically everything except GAI.

Climate change, rampant fascism, unrestrained capitalism, take your pick. We’re speeding towards 3 or 4 dystopias but a super intelligent AI isn’t one of them.

On the flip side, I cancelled my Progressive home+auto insurance because they had become way too expensive. While on the phone she was trying to convince me to start a new home quote to see if that would lower my rates. She asked if my roof was still 30 years old. Wishing to end the conversation quicker, I lied and said yes despite getting it replaced 6 months ago.

Since then I have gotten two texts and several phone calls per day from companies claiming to be working my area who see that I need a new roof.
