I said it before but:
I really believe that with the rise of #AI we need dorky people more than ever. We need niche special interests. We need specialized academic fields.
We need knowledge like the person's on Insta who keeps pointing out that AI generated images of Cambrian fossils are clearly fake, because the crustacean shell has the wrong number of little bumps.
We need people like the witchy person who likes fiber arts so much they learned how to shear sheep and process wool themselves.
