Chris Best on Substack: "Technology amplifies people. It can therefore be good or bad, just like people. We don’t actually have the choice between backwards and forwards. But we can choose which way forward. Let’s choose a future where the people making and participating in the culture have the power."

Technology amplifies people. It can therefore be good or bad, just like people.

We don’t actually have the choice between backwards and forwards. But we can choose which way forward.

Let’s choose a future where the people making and participating in the culture have the power.

This same surge in AI-led content production will simultaneously fuel a tremendous need for cultural connection: real humans in communion with one another. These relationships help us make sense of the world, and to know where to direct our attention. Their value will dramatically increase.
