So wild to see the mainstream media slowly accepting what I have been screaming to anyone who will listen for 4+ years now.
Better late than never?
I'm never letting anyone get over this. When I first heard about AI I was like, "oh, it might be interesting, but since it costs more to keep on than it makes in revenue it's economically useless, right? Right, Anakin??" I now know how I would react during the Emperor's New Clothes. That makes me feel good. Unfortunately, I also now know how most other people would react, too ("My, your grace, what a beautiful set of clothes you have! I can't see your balls at all!"). That makes me feel scared for the future.
