Love this point "Particularly with AI, there is a philosophy of accelerationism which is inhuman and unsustainable; I think it lends to this sense that the future is impossible. There seems to be little human benefit to this technology, so why pursue it?"
It reminds me this notion by Paul Ricoeur of what imagination is: a remix or a true "new" thing. I feel like AI at the moment absorbs so much from us without necessarily inciting us to think "new", except in very niche communities.
