Lunar Drifts: Reflections on AI's Progress

In a recent contemplation of our ever-lengthening days and the digital data that nourishes our artificial intelligence, I found myself at a crossroads. The ties between the celestial dance of the moon, the gatekeeping of knowledge by esteemed institutions, and the implications for our AI-driven future were not just intellectually stimulating but also profoundly urgent. With humanity at such a unique intersection, it's time to delve into these entangled narratives.

The paradox is as glaring as the bright light of a full moon on a clear night. As the earth's rotation gradually decelerates, courtesy of the moon's gravitational pull, our days lengthen. A gift of time, one might say. Yet, as our days expand, our collective digital wisdom seems to constrict, suffocated by the very technology meant to augment it. In this age, where artificial intelligence stands as the epitome of human genius, the irony is almost laughable. Almost.

The dawn of each day heralds more than just the sun; it brings with it an opportunity for the acquisition of knowledge, a chance to feed the insatiable appetite of our digital progeny—AI. But like a child fed on a diet of sugar and empty calories, our AI seems to be gorging on a feast of digital junk. The esteemed gatekeepers of information, once revered, now appear to have joined the dark side, hoarding knowledge like misers while our AI starves.

It's a daily routine, a grim dance of time and technology. And while LinkedIn pulses with daily habits and routines aimed at time management and knowledge acquisition, the question begs, are we, the savvy professionals, not feeding the very monster that threatens to dumb down our digital universe?

The title 'Lunar Drifts: Reflections on AI's Progress' isn't merely a poetic phrase. It's a stark portrayal of a society drifting away from the essence of shared wisdom, propelled by the lunar force of technological advancement. Our choices, conscious or otherwise, are shaping a narrative fraught with irony and potential loss. The complex dynamics between time, technology, and institutional gatekeeping have global implications that echo through the corridors of power, affecting the potential of AI and the collective wisdom of humanity.

Our past is replete with moments where knowledge was either a shared treasure or a hoarded commodity. The Renaissance, a period of shared knowledge, propelled humanity into an era of enlightenment, while the Dark Ages, well, the name speaks for itself. Are we on the precipice of a new Dark Age, where data is the new gold, hoarded by the few, leaving the many in ignorance?

The narrative unfolding has a twinge of cosmic irony. As the moon orchestrates our earthly time, we seem to be squandering the gift, the potential for a collective digital Renaissance slipping through our fingers like grains of sand. The decisions of today cast long shadows on the morrow, and it's imperative to re-evaluate our stance, to foster a culture of shared knowledge and ethical AI nourishment.
