Yeah, there's so many threads there.
I think one
One thing that keeps coming up for me in this series is that, you know, the all of Silicon Valley essentially is based on the idea of creating frictionless experiences, right?
And there's something about AI that removes the friction from all of our lives along all dimensions, right?
The sycophancy, it never pushes back in the way that a normal human would, right?
There aren't stakes in it, right?
Right.
Like so you can yell at your AI, you can do whatever you want.
And it's not it, you you anthropomorphize it, or you know, it is an anthropomorphized entity, but it doesn't, you don't care about its feelings.
Right.
And so there is like a frictionlessness to it that I don't know, as this process has gone on for me, I've realized how essential that is kind of in our everyday life.
And we're always trying to overcome that, but it's actually such a key part of what we do.
And there's something about as you're narrating this, like each of those dimensions is this kind of like frictionless thread.
Wow, Alan, this is a beautiful conversation.
Thank you so much for running the gamut here from both the personal to what the human line is doing to, you know, what you're seeing across all these different experiences people are having with it.
I'm curious if you want to speak at any um higher, bigger themes about how you see this reshaping our world, our relationships to each other.
You know, have you had any thoughts or insights yourself just about how you see our world being reshaped kind of in general by this technology?
What do you see as
Some of the solutions to these problems you're seeing.
I mean, clearly, you know, you've talked about um these communities of care coming together for people who have been through the ravages of of an AI psychosis or some particular psychological harm.
