This means to me AI is rocket fuel for our post-truth reality. Post-truth is a big deal and it was already happening pre-AI. AGI, post-scarcity, post-humanity

This means to me AI is rocket fuel for our post-truth reality.
Post-truth is a big deal and it was already happening pre-AI. AGI, post-scarcity, post-humanity are nerd snipes.
Post-truth on the other hand is just a mundane and nasty sociologically problem that we ran head-first into and we don't know how to deal with. I don't have any answers. Seems like it'll get worse before it gets better.
- chickensong 11mo agoHow would you define post-truth? It's not like people haven't been spouting incorrect facts or total bs since forever.
- saulpw 11mo agoScale matters. The difference between 10% and 90% of people spouting total bs is what makes it 'post-truth'.
- jibal 11mo agoWhat "gets better"? Rapid global warming will lead to societal collapse this century.
