What is tragic is that digital life should be very much part of the awe of the living experience.
We are extremely lucky to live in this new period where communication and information processing have undergone exponential evolution.
The issue is that this enormous potential of augmenting our existence is held hostage by the same forces that have suppressed the opportunity for generations upon generations of earlier "non-tech-vexed" humans.
- CamperBob2 2y agoWhat is tragic is that digital life should be very much part of the awe of the living experience. Yeah, part of me dies at least a little when someone on HN who probably didn't know what a Markov model was last week rambles on about how "that's all a transformer really is." People have no idea what's coming, how big a deal it will be, and (worst of all) how overdue it is.

- cudgy 2y agoMaybe that explains why people aren’t aware of this impending big deal since platitudes and simple forecasting are unconvincing.
- southernplaces7 2y agoYes but what is this supposed impending big deal???
