It's wild how fast an apocalyptic millenarian cargo cult has been completely normalized.
Who knows, this one may turn to be true. But if it were expressed in any other terms, it would be dismissed as madness by the people amplifying it.
I dare you to read/watch this and tell me with a straight face that Friedman knows anything about actual AI* technologies beyond the agitprop coming from people like Altman and disturbingly credulous journalists.

Thomas L. Friedman: We Just Set Off the Second Big Bang...
Third, we’ve changed the climate. We are the first species to actually drive itself into a basically man-made climate era.

From the guy who wrote with absolute confidence that MOOCs are the panacea for higher education.
Big Bang, sure.
Why do all these clowns have the most prominent platforms?
Thomas L. Friedman: We Just Set In this video, he explains why the rise of artificial intelligence and other “godlike” powers will require us to build healthy interdependencies to survive what comes next. Off the Second Big Bang www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/o...
And here is Friedman telling us that if we don't do something there is no chance of our doing we are dead, dead, dead.
Israel and the whole world--caught in a dilemma with no way out.
Yay us!

The future of A.I. from a different perspective.
”And lastly, coming to a theater near you, we don’t know exactly when — five years, 10 years, maybe 15 years. But we’ll get there: Quantum computing, fusion energy and A.I.”

"So I believe the only way forward is we as a species now are going to have to learn to detribalize, depolarize and detoxify ourselves at a speed, scope and scale we have never, ever had to even contemplate..." 1/2

"We have disconnected intelligence from human biology."
First thought: why "human biology" and not in general "biology"?
Second thought: ah, right photosynthesis
Third thought: wait. Solar power, nuclear power. Back to first thought.
Whether you agree with or even remotely connect with his theology, @thomaslfriedman.bsky.social nails the AI situation in this NYTimes essay. Wouldn’t it be wild if working together to safely deploy AI ushered in a new era of peace & cooperation in the world?

"Quantum computing, fusion energy and A.I. The conversion of those three things will allow us to create anything from the molecular level up. ... Just one problem: ... Without the rules, norms and institutions to govern our now godlike powers." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/o...
So much to think about here. We simply can't afford to NOT imagine what's coming/what's possible.
And, as a species, we better have a plan.

Stupidest idiot who ever walked the earth. Dimwits creating computers that can talk is not the second big bang. fuck me. how myopic can a person get?
among the reasons i don't take the @nytimes.com seriously is that they're somehow and for some reason still paying thomas friedman, who hasn't had an original thought since... uh... i'm sure he's had one original thought at some point, despite the evidence. ...right?

Without specifically agreeing or disagreeing with Friedman on specifics, we are quickly entering a world where AI, quantum, climate, geopolitical and social instability, fusion, and the ubiquitous Internet will combine to create many unforeseen changes of consequence.
