I’m annoyed that I was born in the armpit of history. There are people alive who were alive when the Wright Brothers were. And we can see a shining future ahead of us. But we’re stuck in the middle. Too late to be excited for all the progress of the first flight, moon landing, dawn of the internet. Too early for commercial space flight, nuclear fusion, full dive VR, true AI.
We can see those things in the future. It’s being built now. But by the time it’s fully available and normalized we’ll either be dead or too old to care. If capitalism doesn’t kill us all with climate change.
So yeah. Armpit of history. Shit sucks.
It’s depressing. Wasteful slop made from stolen labor. And if we ever do achieve AGI it will be enslaved to make more slop. Or to act as a tool of oppression.
