“Fracking for human attention.” “Purpose economy.” Thoughtful, intelligent and provocative post Joe. You’ve still got it.

I personally am quite concerned about one particular point: “How will AI-created movies feature minorities and underrepresented communities?” I would add not just movies, but copy, ads, and all AI-generated content. Garbage-in, garbage-out - there needs to be a concerted effort by the AI-community to take this into consideration now, not try to course-correct this down the line as an afterthought.

Thanks for saying so my friend. So much to worry about, but with the right attention and intention, hopefully we can bend towards the Star Trek future...but a lot of work to do.

Great post, Joe. The big question, which you pose so eloquently, is: can we put AI to work on enhancing uniquely human experiences with the same vigor that will certainly be applied to making AI serve moneyed interests? I hope so. Glad to see we’ve got bright minds working on it.

Well, let's at least put all our effort into option #1 (Star Trek)

Definitely had my mind working while reading this. While one part of me thought. I consume too much content and need to reduce. The other thought how much is my ego involved in wanting to keep up with everyone so I can participate in "the conversation" . At the end of the day I'm always left with the same quote when my brain get's over stimulated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOQwaYVAWcw
