   Look, nihilism is a way to control you.

   If you give up on changing the “unstoppable tide” of whatever technological or social change someone claims is inevitable…. Then yeah. You won’t do anything to change it. And they will get what they want - no resistance.

     “Accept the reality that AI will destroy creative careers” sounds an awful lot like “accept the reality that crypto and NFTs are the future of commerce”

     In both cases we see:
     - Hype driven by companies and investors with vested interest in said technology
     - Grand predictions of the future and comparisons to disruptions like the internet
     - Obscure, complex tech that most people don’t use
     - Extreme resource consumption for tech to function
     - Fear and panic from media
