In my own little corner of life I've already done this. HN is the only social media site I participate in, and I can be away for days without much fear of missing out.

I appreciate your point about thinking long term rather than being consumed by the immediate and sensational.

I also generally don't like machine learning for anything but technical uses, like how we use calculators; there is so much to enjoy about being human and is rather not farm that out to computers just so we have more time to consume what computers make.

I would rather we agreed to regulate AI rather than take a hands-in-the-air, whatever approach.
