I just spent 8 years totally off the grid. No tech. The biggest thing I missed was Wikipedia. Tech is what you make of it. It was depressing to tune back in and see what a mess the Web was with advertising destroying most sites. Support has gone to the birds. You used to be able to get hold of humans who could help you. Now, you're just fucked, there is no way out. AI is starting to get scary, like we might actually make an AGI that destroys us. Even now you can do some fucked up shit using GANS to create fake videos. Take this for instance - we know Tom Cruise is fake, but is Paris a deepfake or real? I cannot tell, and I've worked in CG: https://www.tiktok.com/@deeptomcruise/video/7060950433082182917 https://www.tiktok.com/@deeptomcruise/video/7060950433082182... This shit gets better, not yearly, but monthly. Soon it'll be possible to fake anything of anybody. So AI is already taking us towards destruction. Perhaps we can turn it around and AI can be used to save us. I hope that's the end game. Without tech though I couldn't do some awesome things, like see my loved ones on video chat half a world away. So, it's not all bad...!
