Nice read! I’ve been having similar thoughts, especially since Google announced they’d cracked a new technology that computes things in 5 minutes that would’ve taken what, 5,000 years previously or something crazy like that?

It’s exciting but also scary that Google has exclusive access to something so powerful. At some point I imagine we could have something similar to Minority Report, with tech so powerful it can basically predict all our future behaviour, that’s scary.

Endgame. It's really hard to see how it's not the endgame.

For sure, on the final stretch now. It's funny, every now and then I'll get stressed at work, and then realise that it'll probably all seem quite trivial when shit gets real in a couple of years
