The main point of this article is that "we're unready for the coming deluge of video, audio, photos and even text generated by machine learning to grab and hold our attention." I would hasten to add that this includes learning materials. This article draws together a series of examples, many of which we've previously seen here, documenting this trend. But as Charles Arthur warns, "conceiving what will happen when things scale up is really, really difficult. We can see a lone tree and grasp it; but imagining how a forest of them will change the ecosystem is incredibly hard." Most of what we've talked about here for the last two decades - learning management, instructional design, open content, etc. - may quickly become irrelevant.
