I also want to say you've nailed the name of this substack — couldn't have picked a better one. The meaning of it has come home to me recently. I've had several conversations which have gone almost exactly like this:
Person: Did you hear about [thing]? People think that [dystopian tech phenomenon] might actually happen.
Me: Yeah, I heard. But I'm pretty sure it's ALREADY HAPPENED.
Re 2: I don't know if it's already happened, but I expect it to: AI child minding. Once a generation grows up interacting with AI, what's crazy now won't be crazy then.
I like this format.
