@bayeslord losing old growth forests, extinction of species we've not even named, desertification... ecological destruction is a tragedy that's not easily reversed even with tech acceleration
@bayeslord VR depresses me bec missing scent n touch but it'll be good enough to become widespread and the next generation won't even know what they lost... i worry that AI may do the same sort of thing to emotional intimacy - and i don't even know how to gesture at what might be lost
@bayeslord i actually kinda like Yud and think he's more intellectually honest than most of his midwit doomer followers
