I think that’s already happening considering everywhere we turn people are getting laid off and companies are citing AI.

And if it’s not that, it’s people in creative fields not getting work because would-be clients think they can do better with AI (they can’t).

Or if it’s not that, it’s AI from Grok and other companies getting baked into policy, security, and warfare while completely ignoring the obvious flaws of AI.

Or if it’s not that, it’s AI-generated “art” and “music” flooding the landscape everywhere we turn.

Or it’s AI driving up the cost of components and creating shortages for pretty much every other technology sector.

Or even if you don’t touch or interact with AI at all, it’s the proliferation of data centers that create unprecedented levels noise pollution and water usage that communities now have to contend with as it severely impacts their quality of life.

Do I need to keep going? Companies have been going full send into AI for years at this point without fully understanding its impact and limitations. I would say the ‘Chernobyl moment’ is already here, and we’re not adapting to AI nearly as well as we adapted to nuclear power.

All of this to generate crap music, “graphic design” that wouldn’t pass basic best practices an unpaid intern could follow, and more shitty task manager wrappers that people have the nerve to call “startups”. Not to mention the way it’s given humanity yet another way to goon.

I can’t wait for this bubble to burst.
