I think because I get excited at many new things, I&#39;m lucky. But, I recall one time (certainly not the first nor last I got excited for tech) wen I had that &quot;holy fucking shit!&quot; moment was September 1992, first few days at University, and I tried IRC the 1st time. Even email the day before was cool but not like IRC. Wait, so I join some &quot;room&quot; on a computer and start chatting with strangers from around the world, like real time!?!? Mind blown!!!</p>

I really thought tiktok couldn't get worse and then you hear about people vocalizing support for osama bin laden without even fully reading a very short thing he wrote

<p>There is a sense of impending chaos surrounding Big Tech now that I&#39;ve never sensed before simultaneously along so many vectors. Technological chaos. Financial chaos. Regulatory chaos. Political chaos. Legal chaos. Disinformation chaos. Social chaos. Everything is pointing toward a maelstrom, a perfect storm heading toward implosion. And rather than helping to ameliorate this, many Big Tech execs appear to be hell bent on speeding the process.</p>
