Technology is not neutral, nor it does exist in a vacuum. It is not neutral due to the fact that humans are not impassible wielders of technology.

Yes I do indeed think companies should not be able to vastly reshape the world at will.

Another "gift" from AI to the world. Another line to the long list of "minor side effects" from uncontrolled, unapollogetic corporations releasing radical technology into a world that didn't agree to it.

Seeing is also an illusion by the brain, all colors are in your head.

Using psychedelics, specifically 2C-B and LSD, you can also see very saturated colors you don't normally see in daily life. I see very saturated magentas.

I also had an encounter with government software...

I think the long-lasting solution will be to move to a web-based application system, instead of depending on Desktop applications made for Windows or Linux. Using a web app system, the government only has to concern itself with proper development and maintenance of servers and web apps, and the public workers can use any operating system with a web browser.

Are you trying to "game" and "optimize" us too? Don't you think that is a bit out of tune with the atmosphere here?

I think you have fallen into an AI hype trap. Language choices still matter.

Art is fundamentally a human activity. No amount of artistic work can be delegated to a machine, or else the art is dehumanised.

>smart phones became a fixture because they were a key enabler for dozens of other things like fitness tracking fads, logging into key services, communication methods that were not available on desktop, etc. If AI becomes a key enabler of business, then yeah people won't have a choice.

This. I need access to banking , maps and 2FA. If I could use a dumb phone, with just a camera, GPS and whatsapp, I would use it.

The point of music during a psychedelic experience is to provide a reference for the passing of time and to help with progression of thoughts. Music guides you through your thoughts, avoiding loops, by providing a changing texture, melody, rythm, and story.

This is on top of the other effects of music, such as emotional effects.
