Normalcy Bias And AI
Humans are constantly fighting the normalcy bias.
Why are some ahead of the curve when it comes to realizing the impact of technology? Over the last few years, I had a number of discussions with people who felt that something (whatever the topic) was not going to change.
For example, legacy automotive would always be in control and Tesla would be nothing more than a niche company. That was, and still is, a viewpoint by many.
Then we had Hollywood. During the labor strikes of a few years ago, I said Hollywood was dead. This was a combination of factors although most of my conclusion was based upon the advancement of technology. Ultimately, Hollywood started sinking before the technology took over. The latter, however, is a guarantee.
Almost three years later, we see it advance to the point where more people are mentioning it.
The challenge is normalcy bias. People get stuck in their way of thinking and are slow to change. This is not being closed minded. Instead, it is a feature that stems from the nature of human reality throughout history.
In this article we will discuss how things are changing and why many will be in a "state of confusion" in the next few years.
Normalcy Bias And AI
Normalcy bias is the idea that things do not change a great deal. Naturally, this is much of human history. It leads to the approach that what I am experiencing now is how things will always be.
In other words, there was a baseline that people mentally operated from.
Even when there was rapid change, such as a natural disaster (say a flooding), people worked quickly to return things to "normal". Once the water receded and things were rebuilt, the village was mostly restored to its previous state. Perhaps a few measures were taken to reduce the risk of future flooding such as building a wall or moving the village to higher ground.
Life, for the most part, did not change.
This means our brain has a tough time processing things such as exponentials. The idea that things will change radically in just a year or two is incomprehensible to most of us. This is not a natural state for humans.
When we look at an exponential curve, we understand the basics yet have difficulty truly extrapolating what it means.
Source
The line that exhibits linear growth is how our brains typically work. We are dealing with growth in this chart but it could apply to anything that is exponential. When we focus upon the other line, the true gap between the two is hard to fathom.
So far, when it comes to AI, the impact was minimal. We did see advancement yet it has not disrupted to the degree that we are about to see.
Emad Mostaque is on record as saying we have less than 1,000 days (2028) before most jobs related to human work disappear. While his timeline might be off be a few hundred days, the point is clear: he is looking at the exponential and not reverting to normalcy bias.
What I See Today Will Be Gone
The world is moving to one of continual flooding.
Consider what happens when a flood happens. The town is going about its business and, within a few hours, it is under water. However, to fully grasp this analogy, we have to not look for the water to recede. Instead, the town is changed forever. Very little is the same after the flood occurs.
Our normalcy bias is only going to hinder us. Many still believe things will revert to normal. The drop in global auto sales is only temporary. Hollywood filming will rebound. Humans will continue to be the most "intelligent" beings on the planet.
The mantra in Hollywood was "hang on until 2025". That year passed and it was a year barely better than 2024 (which was horrific). Things do not look much better in 2026.
Some are starting to realize that AI is better than then in certain areas. This means that the human will never make up that ground. The distances between what the computer can do and the human will only spread.
Again, we are in the early stages of this. Very few are seeing this in their field. That will not be the case in two years.
A non-AI world is as likely to appear as going to Blockbuster Video to rent a movie. Those days are long gone. People are going to have a period of "confusion" as the massive pace is realized by society. AI is moving faster than anything other technology. The smart phone, in the US, went from basically 0 to 70% market share in a bit over 6 years.
AI is being used by almost everyone in the developed world to some degree even if it isnt a chat bot. We are barely 3 years since GPT3 was introduced.

Downvoted for posting similar style content from 2 accounts.
I did not want to leave a comment but people won't leave me the hell alone about leaving comments when downvoting..... I swear all the feedback I get makes me think this place is a freakshow sometimes.
Thanks for at least being a reasonable and not losing your shit because your rewards are being zeroed out.
You are obviously a smart guy. Based on what you do I am pretty sure you are way smarter than me.
I think people should be able to post from multiple accounts if there is a good reason but the way things are right now, if I posted from multiple accounts with similar content people would come out of the woodwork to nuke my account.
I would like to do my thing while doing random dope shit on HIVE. Goodluck doing your own random dope shit on HIVE too. I am assuming you are a man but these days man is gender neutral so who freaking cares man you know what I am saying?
Cheers brochacho! I wish I was kidding 😅
Seriously good luck in this wild place called HIVE.

Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows
Friends, creators, truth-tellers—
Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.
There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.
On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.
Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.
On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.
And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.
But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.
It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.
Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.
Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.
So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:
If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.
The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.
And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.
Keep speaking.
Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.
And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:
Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.
Key Concerns:
Systemic Manipulation:
Community Exodus:
Governance Crisis:
Solutions Needed:
The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.
Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.
#HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"
A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates
Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,
How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.
@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.
Key Issues to Address:
A Path Forward:
The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.
Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.
#HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"
@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.
Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.
Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.
It’s over.
The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.
@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.
TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM
Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:
The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:
These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.
