I dare you not to be scared now.

I dare you not to be scared now.

Just trying to ratchet it up.

But then you also get the contrast, which is this new style of just like head shaking resignation.

And actually, I don't think the reporters think they're going to be safe.

They're also like writing is going to go away.

The media is going to go away.

So it's an almost like a nihilistic type of approach to this.

Like, yeah, I'm screwed.

We're all screwed.

What are we going to do?

And that is definitely different than we saw during that last crisis, which was obviously much more actually severe than what's happening now.

So it's really confusing me, to be honest.

Yeah, and I'm with you.

I've been making that same argument, this idea that you need to learn how to prompt some generation of a chatbot that exists right now is going to be the key to your long-term.

I mean, even if, as you say, AI ends up playing a major sustained role in the economy, it's not going to be everyone typing on a web interface to a chatbot that's sycophantic and has a personality.

I think I've heard you say this recently, and I agree with it as well.

I don't think we should be

chatting with technology.

You should not be chatting in a sort of anthropomorphized humanized way.
