Living Through an AI Takeover Without Losing Your Soul
summary
Traces AI’s concrete history from Turing through Dartmouth, ELIZA and ImageNet to OpenAI and ChatGPT 1M users in five days, cites surprising metrics like GitHub engineers finishing tasks 55% faster and data centres using 40% of Frankfurt’s power, and evaluates real consequences—carbon, homogenised product design, copyright rows. Offers a practical, testable framework of five roles—catalyst, bridge, listener, curator, subverter—and gives examples of what was built, what worked, and what still fails.
