If you can only see serious issues at "The Current Thing", you're either too comfortable in the status quo so you're not bothered by social trends or you have a maximalist view of your mission.

100% correct. Just like Dall-E2 will get taken over by Dall-E2 Pytorch because *that* one will actually be available to use for everyone instead of being locked behind a gate only elitists can pass through. 🙂 These guys sure are on an important mission.

You can ride every trend if your fundamentals are strong. But when the trends become your fundamentals, you would vanish with the trend.

Like seaweed without its own intrinsic orientation, you are at the whim of the changing currents and directions of the ocean of cultural impositions.
