There is also the direction of influencing those in charge of creating laws and orders and ways to prevent society from collapsing. Law makers who give in to lobbying -- I mean some of these prices points are quite low: $XX,XXX to get someone to vote "yes" for a thing that impacts millions of constituents and earns the lobbying orders of magnitude more than the payout. That is excellent ROI.

Our incredible brains are easily high-jacked. Another concerning trend in global/societal mental health that stresses different parts of it (e.g. increased ER visits). If the entirety of humanity is a connected mind let's say, and more and more parts of it are being damaged by companies that capitalize on "flaws" in the human brain -- which means our shared mentality keeps weakening and can be exploited more and more. It's just so much easier now because there is a machine in your pocket full of endless ways to high-jack your mind and attention.

We live in really crazy/fascinating times, accelerating human problems at "internet scale".

Wordsworth wrote that “the child is the father of the man.”

————-

William Wordsworth 1770 – 1850

My heart leaps up when I behold

   A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;

So is it now I am a man;

So be it when I shall grow old,

   Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;

And I could wish my days to be

Bound each to each by natural piety.

Generation is insanely fast, the other side is presentation, which can be slower and more controlled. Blasting the end-user with text walls is a UX problem now.

Try Cerebras. When I think about how speed of generation is another variable to tweak for "intelligence", it seems like this speed is best used for searching for solutions in a problem space and then validating and discarding and keeping what is best. Being intelligent at the Fable level, but what if the Fable level machine could think at 100x? What does that mean: perhaps it means more parallel "experiments" for solutions in the token/generation/hyper-dimensions of the latent space.
