“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0
Security maven Bruce Schneier looks at the hype and hoopla over AI and hears a rhyme. Here’s a bit of his article:
We’ve seen this out play before. Social media companies made the same sorts of promises 20 years ago: instant communication enabling individual connection at massive scale. Fast-forward to today, and the technology that was supposed to give individuals power and influence ended up controlling us. Today social media dominates our time and attention, assaults our mental health, and—together with its Big Tech parent companies—captures an unfathomable fraction of our economy, even as it poses risks to our democracy.
