40 is the New 60 according to ATS

Poor 40 always a marker of something. Careers Gone in The Wind

Look Let's face it. We know AI is here. In fact,

Tech firm Workday is facing a collective action lawsuit alleging that its job applicant screening technology is discriminatory, following an order by a California district judge on Friday. The outcome could set a precedent for whether and how companies can use algorithms and artificial intelligence to make hiring decisions, as companies increasingly adopt the technology.

are we modeling ourselves on robots now? are we or will be become Stepford Citizens.

We use AI to "repurpose" articles aka plagarism unless it is your own writing. Honestly, how many of you are original? AI favors the men and conventional attractive young females. Ladies, always work and keep you own money -- it's a man's world and our expiration date is getting shorter and shorter. We filter our faces, the actors are almost hard to tell apart. We all have the uniform

I have special question for coders - you will age what fail safe - that AI knocks you off the cliff - I'm hearing that maybe for certain demographics being 40 is ok -- hmmm

AI is not replacing humanity - humanity is replacing itself. If you have read my Controlled Burn Theory you will understand that this is part of the natural pattern of humanity's existence. The popular example is Rome and the eventual fall. The loss of even the recipe for recipe. It only took us 1500 years to figure it out (2023) We are literally going back to the future. Check out The Controlled Burn Theory and the Winter of the Burn on substack.

We know. We feel the collapse. We don't know how to name it. Acopalic is cheap word these days - so saturated in society - it reminds of the word "Groovy". To me Groovy brings to mind flowered shirts, hairy chests, and cigarettes. OH - and for you lurkers, copycats, and ghost tracers here's a free idea - I'm giving you. Let's take a look at the 1970s film Logans Run. In short - after thirty - you are recycled - well government approved murdered. But there is one old fat man with cats and books. He is the Cat Man of human history.

Back to point - We need all generations. We need the joy of child. The hope of the young. We need adults to fight and protect, and as we age we need the stories. Stories tell us who we were, are, and hope to be.

The first thing a conquerors do is erase the enemies history. Outlaw language. Google the Irish language . We are an amazing species capable of seemingly impossible feats.

Granted I am an AI cultural theorist. (I just coined that - groovy) I study AI because I didn't want to fear it. I don't fear it. I fear the loss of good citizenships, of taking care of our children, the sick, the poor, and you. Yes. You. We are feeding the machine and we are the machine, but how best to serve humanity? We commodized empathy, compassion - it has not kept up with our intellectual capabilities - when that happens, i hypothesis the human race - yeah - all of us carries a self-destruct mechanism within our collective dna. Unfortunately, history has taught us repeatedly that we can not survive ourselves when we are intellect overrules compassion and empathy. Hell, corporations even commodize

OH and maybe stop telling people your 40 or 39 or - well you get the meaning.

Remember: GenXers are the bridge. The last generation to understand analogue and created much of the AI coding. Once again, we are ignored and left to save the Human Race from itself.
