You don’t see how tech is the only reason for the world changing like it does recently?
Internet and digital tech for exemple, is what made Google, Amazon or Facebook…
Their capital didn’t came from just the guys running things, pretty far from it. Without them their company would still exist, just with a different name and guy at the top, they would give the same service.
What created those company and the capital is what was invented and developed by programmers and scientists.
And only profit is driving it, not any one person.
Today what is changing things repeatedly is digital techniques like AI.
And let’s be honest gafa aren’t the one chosing to invest, they just know if it’s not them the opportunity to make billions will be to someone else, it’s just reality of technical advancement.
And that’s what changed our society, always has been. Same could be said about coal, electricity and petrol, cars…
The market just follows the flow of technology, and the problem is that it doesn’t care for people in the process, you just can’t miss an opportunity.
P.S. I’d also argue it change a lot about US in some sens, it changed our vision of the world, our culture and our way to interact.
Sure it doesn’t change our nature. But i don’t think our nature is the only factor in how our society evolve. It’s not the only thing that matters to us anymore, i wouldn’t be able to talk to you let alone read (i haves glasses). Most of the things we do aren’t natural.
Now sure AI isn’t really intelligent let alone conscious. But it is such a tool that impacted a lot industry and our daily lives. Writing or art, gaming, programming, all changed to some extent. And it seems to still have a long way to go.
Now of course it will not change that much on its own, but in the future alongside with everything else we’re going to invent, i think it will make things change, like previous invention made our modern society.
I mean, don’t you think the use of our tools can shape who you are as a person? It changes our experience of the world, our knowledge, it’s definitely a part of our construction as individuals.
I said and done things i wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for some stranger on the internet changing mind on something.
All the things i learned thanks to the internet definitely made me a better person overall. And it definitely could make you a bad person too.
And yes i wasn’t quite there before the internet but as a science nerd i’m so impressed by how far we’ve got, from the logic and punch cards to internet now. Reducing the size of transistors to nanometer was a crazy journey. There’s definitely reasons to be proud.
And i’m really looking forward what AI can do, the latest videos of two minute papers on sora just made my mind blown.
I think it did change me yes, it made me grow in a way i wouldn’t otherwise. Helped me with my emotions and empathy in a way i wouldn’t have found around me.
And that’s the thing, making communication or information easier to get also forces you into discovery. Laziness, at least in that regard, is well anchored in our nature too. I could have learn though books or teachers, but there’s plenty i’m pretty sure i wouldn’t have.
An ironic example is programming, if i only had the programming course i’ve had in the first year of college i probably wouldn’t have learned much, it was boring as hell. But i learned programming by myself the summer before, with a c++ tutorial and the intent on creating 2d games. And that was extremely fun for me, to the point i took more courses on the topic later on for my own studies in maths.
Yeah i really can’t bring myself to understand what it was like back when drive where 10mb or less. Any software now is so much bigger it’s crazy. Latest thing i remember is downloading film with torrent and how slow that was. I’m pretty sure my 4G is faster almost in the same order of magnitude.
