After some new tech is introduced, does humanity become more resilient or more fragile for it?

The answer depends on the time given to absorb it

Critically, tech acceleration, esp through AI and RSI, reduces these absorption timelines more and more

Tweet by Gabe (@Gabe_cc) arguing that whether new technology makes humanity more resilient or more fragile depends on the time available to absorb it, and that AI/recursive self-improvement (RSI) is shrinking those absorption timelines, quoting Samuel Hammond's reply to Brendan McCord about grounding political-theory discussion in what's actually happening and proposed.
