In terms of scale what's happening with just the algos, forget AI/drugs/synth bio stuff etc is on par with successful plant or animal domestication which took few centuries because of scaling issues that tech has solved.
A "normal" corn plant today doesn't look anything like the one nature produces. And the "normal" dog, cat, horse, chicken or cow can't survive outside very carefully controlled and built environments.
This generation of technologists aren't taught the Law of Requiste Variety and are totally oblivious about what happens when stability of systems is tied to "normality".
Covid reminded us how "normal" everything is. Feels more and more like a waste of time telling or teaching the tech domesticated herd anything at all.
