@Lana If AI and smartphones were inevitable, then a revolution is also inevitable. If there’s anything we can count on, it’s that humans will always rise up against any kind of domination and suppression. They may not see it now, but they will. Someone else, somewhere else will. And then just as AI and smartphones seemingly happened all at once, the overturn will also happen all at once. It’s a terrifying notion that all of this has happened before and will happen again and again, but when you examine history, that has always been the cycle of humanity since we discovered fire. The only difference is in what you do while the world is burning—do you stand there and wait for it to turn to ash, or do you help expedite it and pour gasoline?

It’s just like that Billy Idol song…
