AI means a brilliant doctor on your phone. Who can diagnose you instantly, for free, privately, using only your locally stored medical records. Do you think the doctors will be happy about that? Or the lawyers? The artists? The others that AI disrupts? They’ll fight it. Hard.

There are mainly two counter-arguments towards “AI is just a tool that will make the people in the field better”:

1. AI will continue to get better and replace people as it improves. There is no reason to why it will just remain a tool (in many industries).

2. The average citizen (the “low skill” in this example) uses AI to get a free doctor.

Crazy this was just 15 years ago 📲🤯

15 years. The insane advancement in tech will never cease to amaze me and excite me about the future. Especially with AI at it’s current stage

Creating a credible deepfake of me giving a lecture took only 6 minutes. AIs handled all of it - writing a speech in my style, cloning my voice, and animating an image of me. You really shouldn’t trust any video or audio on the internet ever again.

This image can be applied to basically _everything_ in life. It perfectly explains how different people approach situations. Some are personality traits, some are sheep.

Hold your head up high, and carry yourself with grace and class in the midst of adversity. There will always be people hating on you. This comes with the territory of operating in an online environment.

Hate is normal. How you react to hate will determine if you are on the right path.

1 piece of advice from me

Cherish life every day! When you are unwell for a few days, you always lose the ability to do basic human functions. Only then do you realise how lucky we are.
