Okay, I’ve revived with smelling salts now. Back to topic - our country has reached another ‘paradigm shift’, to use a heavily overused buzzword of the 80s. It’s the end of DEI - yay! That has fallen on its face just as all the previous management fads have, and something new will replace it. I suppose it will be “everything AI, regardless of inappropriate application” - but do you have any other thoughts on what’s next?
I suspect the next major paradigm shift will be the collapse of the AI bubble.
AI is a fascinating technology but it is just a technology. Contrary to the hyperbole in the media no, AI does not "think"--certainly not the way that humans do. Computational prowess is not thinking.
Pretending that AI does "think" is becoming another departure from reality, and eventually reality is going to brutally dispense with that notion the way it dispenses with all flights of fancy.
What happens then? That's hard to say. It could be we are seeing enough progressive trends reaching their zenith at about the same time to catalyze a major reactionary shift in society. Already globalism is becoming a discredited force (which is bad news for the global south), and DEI/ESG foolishness is quickly being exposed for the insane grift that it is. Jonathan Haidt, once one of the great advocates of social media, is sounding the alarm that too much social media is bad for one's mental health. The AI bubble bursting now would be a perfect storm of reality.
At the same time, several of the worlds power locii are collapsing: the EU is deindustrializing, Russia and China do not have the population to sustain themselves for even another ten years--and no clear successor to Putin and Xi.
What happens when reality hits everywhere all at once?
We may be closer to finding out than anyone wants to be.
