"We're living in split realities.
There's what modern software is
actually capable of, and then there's the
gargantuan pile of "AI" hype, fraud, and bullshit our biggest tech companies
(and their lazy enablers in the tech press) have shoveled down the public's
throat for the better part of the last five years.
There's useful
automation software that makes it easier to code, draft a new
resume, or study vast repositories of scientific knowledge. And then there's a
parade of technofascist hucksters lying to your face about the imminent arrival
of omniscient, sentient, paradigm-rattling supercomputers.
There's a
tremendous chasm between these two things. And everywhere you look
you can see evidence that we've reached a breaking point when it comes to
reconciling these two wildly-different realities."
