Machine learning isn't a new kid on the block. Google's been making our searches smarter for ages. Then you've got the likes of IBM and Microsoft who've been quietly revolutionizing healthcare and education, all without causing a big fuss. It's been all about making life better, one smart algorithm at a time.

But now, it feels like we're on a roller coaster with no brakes. Companies like OpenAI and Cognition are pushing the pedal to the metal, and suddenly, it's not just about smarter searches or diagnosing diseases quicker. Jobs are vanishing faster than ice cream on a hot day, and it's got me wondering: what's the rush?

Isn't the point of all this tech wizardry to make life better, not to throw us into a tailspin of uncertainty? It's like we're all in this mad dash towards "accelerationism" without stopping to think if we should. Sure, AI's got the potential to change the game, but at what cost?

We need to pump the brakes and think this through. Technology should be lifting us up, not leaving folks behind. Let's get back to that sweet spot where innovation means everyone wins, not just the folks with the fastest computers. It's about making sure AI serves us all, not just a selected few.

So, here's to hoping we can find a way to keep the tech train rolling without running over the future. It's not about being anti-progress; it's about making sure progress works for everyone.
