Thank you for sharing. I feel the exact same way.
Whenever I talk to friends or family about the risks of AI and the tremendous developments that are happening right before our eyes, they don’t seem concerned at all. Others, who are more prone to reading the news and opinions of those in the sector, offer me words of comfort that usually go like this: “don’t worry, humans will overcome this new hurdle, we’ve always done it”.
Honestly, I WISH I had such a positive outlook! I think it would make my life easier (and that of those close to me as well 😅). But, ultimately, what matters is that we feel we are doing the best we can. We can engage in conversations, donate our money, change careers, go to vote. Everything that is in our power, we should do, but dwelling on what we can’t control is bad for our mental health.
If this is the beginning of the end, so be it. And, in the meantime, I will use my time and money for the end to be as delayed as possible!
Thank you for sharing! Very excited to see this in Europe!
