It feels like one of the only Apple products where the name is completely divorced from its intended usage (or defining feature)

Because the US was complicit in creating many of them
All platforms can be exploited I guess, but I still wonder at the complexity of the platforms we now rely on and whether it’s justified.
What if AI isn’t like the other changes you’ve experienced? What if a superintelligence is developed (or emerges)? What are the implications of that? Can it be controlled?
The people running the biggest AI companies in the world are themselves worried these questions, so we should be too.
HN is exactly the type of place that should be interested in discussing issues like this and it’s unfair to just dismiss the concerns.
Then I started interrogating all of the people who claimed to “visualise” things and it turned out we were all doing the same thing - conceptualising in our “mind’s eye”.
For example, anyone I’ve asked to visualise something with their eyes closed can also “visualise” the same thing with their eyes open. It’s happening “somewhere else” and not in your vision.
So I think the term “visualise” leads to a lot of the confusion.
