It’s only going to get worse because we’re further away from media literacy than ever before.

Yeah the internet was fine when it was just nerds talking about nerd stuff and relentlously fact checking each other. As soon as people realised they could make a lot more money from it by making it more accessible to regular schlubs it's been a shit show. It's a giant multi-dimensional tabloid newspaper now.

Take me back to pre-2012 when new grounds ruled online video content and half the US population wasn't a Nazi 🙏

Well that is the general enshittification process isn't it, be it computer games, search engines, AI or internet at large. When people realize there is money to be made of something that already exists and hasn't been sufficiently monetized yet, they descend on it like piranhas until only a husk of its former glory remains.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
