Things are always about to go nuts and yet mostly they don't seem to...


The article is from 2015, so yes, you are right, it is easy to say that we have not had insane changes since 2015. And certainly there have not been insane changes between yesterday and today. But if things start changing just 1% more each day it becomes a big deal within a few years.


I suppose that’s how you measure things? 250 years ago we were mostly farmers and our society had barely changed in thousands of years. Now look at us. 25 years ago most people lived in a pre-digital world. Now there are 6 billion smartphone users. 2.5 months ago AI art was a weird curiosity and now John Oliver is doing skits on it.

If this isn’t crazy then what is crazy?
