Speed of tech

I can’t believe how fast things are moving in the AI space. Just like the web3 craze in the last few years, things are moving faster than I can keep up. It’s been amazing to watch but at the same time overwhelming.

My list of companies and projects to check out has consistently kept growing. At any given moment, I may have 4-5 tabs on my browser up on different AI projects that I’ve been meaning to set time to play with. I feel fortunate to be living in such a time where we can take leaps, not steps in human progression.

There is a danger to all this however. Just like we saw in web3 where things moved too quickly, we may see that same effect in AI. The speed at which people flocked to web3 to build projects was awesome to watch, but it also lead to lots of scams and horrible failures such as FTX. The government and regulators simply can’t keep up.

I’m not advocating for the regulators to step in and outright ban AI like Italy has. That goes against progress, but I think we need to move quickly here before some unintended consequences come out of this. This is beyond my level of knowledge as to what exactly needs to be done. But I hope there’s a solution which protects the public but facilitates advancement and progress.
