The Compression of Everything

Society depends on variance of thought and action to be able to course-correct. genAI is destroying that variance by design.

LLMs have difficulties in representing out of distribution viewpoints, lines of thinking and conlusions. Original thought is out-of-distribution by definition.

I wrote up why i think this matters more than most people realize as I believe the boring, routine, daily application of generative AI will be enough to detoriate society as a whole - self goverment on autopilot basically with strong attractors to default outcomes.

This looks like a beautiful read, wish there were some images as i couldnt read it in one go. Also, a TLDR here would be amazing.
