@inthehands @dymaxion @kevinriggle @jenniferplusplus This is interesting. I have another concert: what if the goal of the GenAI narrative was mostly an accounting goal? Meaning, tech is / was worth investing in because the huge promise of future growth enables to boost the balance sheet & enables to pay nice dividends every year. So you have to regularly renew the narratives that justify promises of future growth. GenAI is just that, it doesn't even *need* to be a real productivity boost.

> We are so used to immediate feedback that we equated the absence of feedback with not being read.

> Most of the click, the likes are fakes.

> If you miss feedback on Gemini, if you feel like nobody is reading you, remember that nobody was reading you on the web in the first place. That any feedback was a lie, a deception. That having a true impact on someone else’s life is something long, deep and without immediate feedback.
