Yes, and no. All our written wisdom is being devoured by computing. This throughline started a long time ago. We will be the last generation to remember the pre-internet time when access to knowledge was a huge advantage in life. The past was better for the spiritual types. The lust for data, is becoming a full blown fact-seeking exhaustion soon enough. Is chatgpt a trap? Yes for people who want to oppose the data brokers. No for everyone else who turns the other cheek, on the great data suckage. The real trap is the inability to have an original thought, develop it and profit on it in the marketplace. Instant and ubiquitous corporate/economic espionage enabled by computing has the power to stagnate the West permanently.
