It's wild to me that for thousands of years technology barely changed from generation to generation...
It really is amazing how much life has changed in the last 50 years. And, it isn't just in things like AI.
"new chemical compounds are produced at a rate of 10 million per year, which translates into 1,000 new ones synthesized every hour."
How do our bodies/minds react to all of this?
Yeah... considering that most medicines have to go through a decade of testing before being available for doctors to prescribe, and yet we're producing all these new compounds without rigorous study, same with AI, etc. I don't want to slow down progress, but it definitely feels like a technological wild west.
