 # A Brewing Crisis 
 
-We live in a world slumbering on the edge of yet another technological revolution. Artificial Intelligence is jumping out of the pages of science fiction into more and more everyday forms. At the time of writing, the Sora model can now generate videos that need intensive investigation to determine if they are real or artificially generated. Not to mention well known Large Language Models like ChatGPT or Gemini are but one type of iteration on the underlying technology of Neural Networks. Theorists have clearly outlined the exponential nature of technological change.[^1]  Meaning that our projections of emerging AI should not follow a mindset of small regular improvements, but that of a snowball effect. This trend has already played out in the development of AI up to this point. Initial theorization and experimentation with the basic concepts behind today's top AI models started in 1949 with Donald Hebb.[^2] Here we are seventy five years later quickly passing a tipping point. No longer are developments measured in decades, or years, but every month there is a new announcement of a breakthrough and additional capability of some sort. Regardless of if these technologies ever reach the mythical level of Hal 9000, or not, the trajectory and pace of change is clear.

+> [!note] Side Note
+> After all no matter how smart AI is, or is not, the way it is treated will make the most impact. If humans surrender to an unquestioned source of information, it really does not matter how smart it is because the damage is done. Not to mention sounding suspiciously like worship to me....
 
 All of us have a certain capacity to healthily cope with change, but if our great grandparents, and grandparents struggled to adapt to the rate of technological change in their lifetime (from car to moon landing), this problem is set to be unimaginably worse in ours and our children’s generation. Even the companies developing these technologies do not seem to have a clear picture of what they are building or why.   
 
-Consequently, this burgeoning era of technology has brought with it an explosion in philosophies and attitudes used to approach AI. On one end we hear of proponents arguing for the grandiose emergence of AI sentience and AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). While on the other end a human centric approach sees AI as yet another tool to magnify data and augment human intelligence, productivity, and discovery. One approach imagines a world where human workers are by and large replaced by AI agents. While the other imagines AI as a trusty partner. No matter one's chosen approach, picturing human flourishing in the midst of this new world relies on underlying assumptions of what a human is and what humans should be doing.

While on the other end a human centric approach sees AI as yet another tool to magnify data and augment human intelligence, productivity, and discovery. Still others caution of danger for humans to "offload" and subsequently loose basic capabilities like critical thinking, reading, and writing.

+The future from these various perspectives are wildly different. One approach imagines a world where human workers are by and large replaced by AI agents. While the other imagines AI as a trusty partner. No matter one's chosen approach, picturing human flourishing in the midst of this new world relies on underlying assumptions of what a human is and what humans should be doing. 
 
 An additional side effect of this technological boom is that the list of human abilities that make us unique are positioned to become fewer and fewer. I doubt we are prepared to live as humans in a world where our reason, creativity, and productivity (to name a few) are dwarfed by the sear force of emerging AI. Even if only in perception, this sentiment will most likely grow into full blown reliance on AI in one capacity or another. What will it be like to watch our prized abilities be set aside or “out classed” in as yet unseen ways by the machines around us?

-12 Therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and dearly loved, put on compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive. 14 Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. 15 And let the peace of Christ, to which you were also called in one body, rule your hearts. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell richly among you, in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
