Not AI related but if you haven't already you might enjoy Roy Casagranda's presentations on a Youtube channel known as 'The Austin School'. Can't remember if he mentioned or lectured on the ancient Zapotec Empire but has some videos on pre-Columbian civilizations plus any other civilizations around the world. Very interesting stuff, IMO. Roy is an educator, historian, and PolySci dude.

This whole WFH debate will probably morph into an economic cold war where the WFH'ers all become contractors with completely different benefit packages divorced from previous rank-and-file attendees' packages. Benefits like, 'not much'. Probably benefit packages will resemble apartment leases with security deposits, including magical HOA-style fees.

As the public becomes aware of how AI marketing is working in their worlds, as in hey! everything is a robot! Maybe then some consumption choices will change in the future. As always businesses will find the lowest common denominator goods and services and push that crap out the door. Hence a more viral DIY generation coming.
