You're right, the average Joe/Jane are addicted to a whole lot. It's important for all of us who want to retain our humanity to start thinking of a moral framework for how we use AI. I think there's a future article in that for me. I can't deny that AI has become extremely capable/useful/helpful. It saves so much time when used properly.

Those facts are fascinating. I think a synthetic biological computer modeled after a brain is the next logical leap for "hardware". The power consumption of the data centers just isn't viable to scale unless the data centers have their own reactors on site. A mini reactor might be the bridge to get us to scale until we can produce synth bio brains. Thanks for the link!
