Imagine going back in time to tell them all about Donkey Kong and after you’re done they’re like “wait so he’s not actually a donkey?”

“Well-meaning” people are using machine translation to write Wikipedia articles in languages that they don’t speak themselves, accelerating the degeneration in quality of the web corpus for several languages with relatively few native speakers.

How AI and Wikipedia have sent vulnerable languages into a doom spiral
Machine translators have made it easier than ever to create error-plagued Wikipedia articles in obscure languages. What happens when AI models get trained on junk pages?

IMHO, LLMs will be an economic negative for years.
They'll do a worse job than humans,
but will still replace humans because they're cheaper for employers,
but really they're costlier, it's just that lots of costs get externalized to society by our horrible energy/tax policies.
Lose-lose-lose.

There's no "quiet part" to say out loud anymore, they're just actively organizing in public and destroying all the institutions that could stand in the way (paper tigers though they were)

If you were an investor as the Great Depression was beginning, the smart move would've been to preserve purchasing power to time re-entry. It made sense to hold cash, or buy Tbills or gold. Mining, real estate and blue-chip industrial equity were the best survivors.

Foldable phones are a bad idea: more parts that can break, on an already fragile device, with not a big-enough screen to justify the tradeoffs. Instead, make it easy to plug the phone into a monitor to be your computer when you get to a desk!
