The Coming Divide: AI-Native or Left Behind 0 ▲ Daniel Miessler 4 hours ago · Tech · 1 comments I'm getting more worried, and more frustrated, about this new phase of AI disillusionment.Some of it is fair. Hundreds of billions are sloshing around in financing shell games. The real cost of inference is still a wildcard. Noticing that danger and being concerned about it is healthy.But a lot of people are taking that concern and stretching it into something else: proof that this whole thing was another Crypto/NFT moment. Safe to ignore. Safe to make fun of.That's the part that worries me, because it splits people into two camps.One camp thinks AI is gross and scammy, or a bubble, so they avoid it as much as they can.The other camp sees it as a new, essential tool for upgrading their life and their work.

It is clear, even in this early juncture, that generative AI will have a profoundly negative impact on literacy, both at the individual and social level. I'm astonished anyone would claim otherwise.
