One way to understand this: You're bored of the most transformative technology of the last 25 years?
- renyicircle 3mo agoOne gets bored exactly because it's transformative. I don't think most people have the capacity to adapt to "transformative technologies" every 10 years, especially when they change society irreversibly. It's not natural, it's just something progress demands of everyone. In this case there's a strong push to transform society before individuals can adapt to it. Not everyone can do it or should be expected to, it takes energy.
- allarm 3mo agoI don't see any contradiction here.
- keithnz 3mo agoseems odd to me also. I thought tech people would adapt and embrace (and many do!) but I'm surprised by a lot of responses on HN in the last year or so in relation to AI. Lots of quite negative takes. There is of course downsides, but this seems it is more just being cynical to be cynical.
- apple4ever 3mo agoSince many of us believe it's not actually that, that's a bad way to understand this.
- cognitiveinline 3mo agoThen I'd be curious what your definition of tranformative technology is.
