The Stupidity Pandemic

There is a lot of food for thought in this video.

It has struck me for sometime now that folks are more than willing to outsource their cognitive work to computers or other people.  With the invasion of AI (Artificial Intelligence), things are only going to get worse, much worse.

And no, the irony of my finding this video on YouTube is on not lost on me.  After all there is a reason that the YouTube rabbit hole is a well known phenomenon. Nor is the irony of the authors of this video pushing their other videos to keep you engaged.  Nor is the irony of my silly little blog screaming into the black hole of cyberspace, although I try very hard to keep my facts straight.

If you saw any of the Alien movies you will remember the Facehugger aliens. I am not sure there is a lot of difference between them and our cell phones.

Although I worked in technology for 30 years, I am beginning to feel more and more that we have opened up Pandora’s box with computers.

And so it should not go.

  1. Pretty sure that is a heavily AI video. Since it is not realistic in image or discussing issues like healthcare or law it is not required to be labeled as such by YT.
