It might not even be apathy, but boredom? I am so, so bored with the AI frenzy that I just want to check out of it. My energy is sapped. I know that attitude is not helpful but hey - that’s the state of play."
Oh, Alison. I hear you mate. I wrote about my own battle with meaninglessness just this week. When the wtf-is-this-even-for sets in, it can be hard to shake off. When the people around you look like lemmings running off a cliff in their urgency to MAKE SHITTY THINGS AS FAST AS POSSIBLE LEST WE FALL BEHIND it's easy to think we're living in a dystopian satire and the whole planet's about to collapse under the weight of it's own stupidity. Who can give a shit under those conditions?
The good news is I have a simple and wildly effective prescription for your apathy that anyone, anywhere, can apply for immediate effect.
Here it is.
