Truth. Agreed.

Really important message Matty. I think one element of how we got here is the destruction of good education. When they cut arts programs it limited kids curiosity, self expression and their creativity. Many adults don’t know how to create — the reliance on machines has been force fed.

Thanks so much, Meghan. I think you are spot on about the way we're limiting our children's creative capabilities. Great to see you here, my friend.

This is excellent Matty. One of the truths of AI is that it can't manifest anything new. It is solely dependent on what has come before and what already exists. It can never create anything new or fresh or unexpected because it isn't a living process. It's a simulacra and could never manifest a next step, or a new something. It can't generate culture, but it can certainly hold culture hostage and hold it back. It is ultimately a tool for profit. And it seems apparent that each AI model is a reflection of the owner. It is a mirror to their way of thinking and is as limited in its scope and in its originality as the billionaires who are pushing this technology on the rest of us.

Thanks so much, my friend. I love the way you say it could never create the next step. It can predict what we might want, but it can't, as you say, generate culture. Super smart thoughts, J. So happy to see you here.
