That’s the question. All sorts of ideas come to mind, but the one that keeps on coming to my mind is that of the flexible courtyard - when dense, outside is apartments, inside is auditorium/mall, when not, outside is storage/office/workroom, inside is garden, field, or greenhouse.

The ancient organisms that polluted the earth with oxygen (originally a pristine different gas) rendered themselves obsolete. We who ushered in the plasticene era are allowing for the evolution of that which will supplant our dominance. Is AI any different than photosynthesis in the grand scheme?

Eventually you’ll be out of a job if you keep that up.

And also have it be trained on information about the history of technology, including especially recent technology, and then have it iteratively design and implement its own next generation - and add the log of what it did to the training data for that next generation.

I agree that this is true too - to me this is alternate phrasing of the intersubjectivity point.

This generation has gotten used to the idea that they need to talk one way in one medium and another in another- not only spoken versus written, but text messages versus email versus college application essay or similar. This may be a manifestation of that.

Because of the blurring of the lines of objective and subjective into notions of intersubjective, and the corresponding view that knowledge is merely a more confident faith, having the arrogance to claim knowledge as an absolute (truth? To who?), is absolutely not en vogue.
