> Covid fearporn and Ukraine outrageporn are essentially old and boring news now
There will always be a "thing" in the news cycle. I'm uncomfortable with "fearporn" in this sense because, well, Covid was and still is indeed a gigantic human disaster with an enormous toll.
The lesson there was that we tried to mitigate what ended up being a largely un-mitigatable disaster. That's a bit different with AI, because we still maintain a level of control. When we lose it is anyone's guess, but this looks to be the cusp of a shift we thought would be decades down the line.
