Elon Was Right
I'm feeling less and less good about being on Twitter. It seems a little bit like Elon Musk thought that the previous owners of the site very intentionally were exercising power over him, and so now he is entirely justified in exercising power over others. Like, he felt like he'd been trolled when he was in fact just interacting with a world that will always disagree with itself, and now he wants to troll back.
I think he felt like he was abused, and now he's abusing back. The thing is, he wasn't abused, he was just treated like a powerful member of society. Powerful people are always subject to intense scrutiny...and I bet that's hard. Now he's made himself even more powerful, and that seems like a bad choice.

Things are Changing Very Fast
Today on TikTok (after I made this video) I saw a guy arguing that we have a very small window between understanding the potential affects of AI and actually deciding what we can and should do with it. I don't really agree, I think that we both have no window at all (in that, you cannot put this genie back in the bottle) and a window that will be open for a very long time.
When we encounter new technologies, we learn their powers and their dangers and that always takes quite a long time, and then, after that, we develop tools (mostly in the form of taboos) for how they should and should not be used. But you literally can't intelligently form the taboos until you have experienced the negative outcomes.
I don't know what the negative outcomes will be, but I bet there will be a ton. And we're not going to have the systems to handle those negative outcomes for a long time...potentially a generation or two. That's how it's been with the internet, and that's why I'm worried about changes stacking up on changes. It's gonna be a tricky time

Even though he tried his best to resist, Kangaroo still couldn't escape the sharp claws of the eagle
What I Would Have Tweeted
I'm feeling much better now. I'm also feeling quite good about not being on Twitter right now. It seems quite messy, and also increasingly not that important...but that's probably how it felt to everyone who wasn't on it.
