Up late but this was worth it. Thought-provoking. I lean to the side that it is always worthwhile to consider and assess. However, I also conclude that essentially no one gets it right. There is variability that moves hand-in-hand with complexity. While Nvidia provided the effective means to create a modeled world in videogames and EVERYONE KNEW you needed their graphics card to do high-end gaming -- they also became the only cost-effective means to mine BitCoin. All of this knowledge and EVERYONE missed the boat and did not realize the consequence of this specialized capability. NO ONE I know saw Nvidia as the irreplaceable component of AI, yet here we are. I heard a great report today that likened AI development as a war and Nvidia is the worlds only arms dealer :) I think this is consistent with the flying car scenario and the Jetsons. SXSW sounds like it was a blast.

I found this article truly fascinating. I have been writing a few pieces recently, and then I stopped. Never really considered why, just stopped.

I think a number of factors have come into play recently, but I hadn't contemplated can v's should. I do have imposter thoughts, and occasionally what's the point reasoning. I think these are reasons I am imposing on my excuses. My resistance to the inevitable change time and technology brings with them has transpired into a lack of effort...!!

Reading your warning / prophecy is a jolt. I very timely and apt jolt, one that is received with thanks.
