I guess people will have to learn things on their own timelines.

I honestly still feel rather disappointed that more people aren't making a bigger deal about how AI has been used in manipulating people's pictures  for revenge and the psychological impact it can have on people.

But a lot of people were raised to not care about what's happening to others and it won't make any impact on them unless it directly affects them. I feel like that is a strange way of life, and then when I look up things about how indigenous peoples have lived and how people are raised to feel more interconnected and like they are affected by what happens to others more, that seems to make more sense to me. 

Caring about what happens to the people who pick your food. Caring about what happens to the environment. Having the idea that your presence is a part of something bigger, much bigger than how you're getting your paycheck or what you're buying or selling or what shows you're watching. I also think a lot of cultures believe that you're going to come back again and again in different bodies until you finish your purpose. And your purpose is bigger than those things. But those things could be part of your purpose too. That's the tricky thing to figure out, I guess.
