I wonder about the connection between how happy your upbringing was, and how comfortable you found the 'old world' that you grew up in, and excitement levels regarding technological and societal change. As someone that found little good in the world of my childhood and teens, it's all too easy for me to see it change. If one were to love the world of their earlier years, though, maybe it's a lot harder to see change as a positive.

I’m from Ukraine. I was born in 1997. In my lifetime there have been 2 revolutions, 2 phases of war with the largest country in the world, a global economic crisis, a pandemic, global warming, the advent of the Internet, touch screens, digital currencies and AI. What is stability anyway?

I don't think it's just a matter of childhood, desperation has been the foundation of revolution for a long time. It's funnily like capitalism in some ways, it's a matter of demand and supply. And while the demand might've been here for a while, now there might actually be a supply. Then again, it's not like most of us are actively involved in training these models.
