AI is replacing jobs in the video game industry with major companies like Activision, usually using generative AI tools for concept art. And they're saying an estimated 10,500 people lost their jobs in 2023. I don't know if that's all from art. I imagine a lot of it is from art. But yeah, I got a bunch of buddies in this industry and they're saying, uh, very similar things. Lots of different things in the creative workflow are vulnerable. I would say a new study shows that while generative AI like ChatGPT makes individual stories more creative and engaging, it also makes them more similar to each other. And I've heard a lot of criticisms of AI and like, oh, it's going to do this bad thing or that bad thing. But this one sounds quite realistic. So basically we need to engineer in mechanisms for exposure to alternative frames of reality, different models, different ways of viewing reality to avoid people consolidating and following like one AI powered group think. Or maybe it's like 20 AI powered group thinks. But it's like controlling the narrative of how everyone's thinking about certain things. Because something was generated by AI, it went viral. Maybe it was pretty cool or whatever. So it goes viral, and then that just becomes a thing that everyone's thinking. I've actually been really worried about this for myself. It's one of the main things I want to use a Da for. And I've been talking with Joseph Thacker about this as well. It's like, imagine that you have in your brain at any given moment a number of ideas, and I definitely have this. I have multiple ideas brewing all the time. So what percentage of those are like super new that I came up with myself? What percentage of those are like mostly derivative? And how many of those are just seeds planted by some random add that I didn't even understand? And like this is completely opaque to me. Yet I think that these 19 ideas are like mine, and so I'm going out and sharing them with other people, and then the same phenomenon happens to them. And then the question is how many of those came from I? Then the question becomes how many came from a government or some corporation where they injected these things into the world with AI. And now these memes are spreading all over, and pretty soon it's in all the articles, it's in all the news, it's in all the top podcasts. And essentially what you have is like a soft version, lowercase version of propaganda, mind control and the steering of narratives. So I think it's going to be super essential for people who care about free thinking, want to be able to disconnect and sort of read books slowly, think slowly, come up with, you know, old style thinking, old style critical thinking. That's going to be one thing. But the other thing is I want my Da to monitor the ideas that I'm talking about and that I'm writing about, monitor those things and then also say, hey, guess what? So I saw this idea get released into the world by this. Whatever. This shady group over here, that was three and a half weeks ago. They then started broadcasting it on these 19 different networks. Those got picked up by these 347 other networks, and that became one of the top 14 top ideas over the last two weeks. And you are now over here writing about it. So I just want to let you know as my as your friend, that you are being influenced by this campaign that was launched by this group three and a half weeks ago. That is a service that we all need. That is a service I'm going to build for myself, because that's going to be part of this overall mechanization involving substrate pipelines, a whole bunch of other stuff that's basically monitoring not just the world, but also myself and seeing like how I'm being influenced. That's like one of the use cases.
