This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
What is with the enshitification of everything this last year? Is it because we didn't actively overthrow the government through the Trump bs? People realize they can actually do whatever they want and 50 ish percent of the country agrees based off of tribalism, 45% just don't give a shit and the last 5% don't really matter? They realized we are all cattle. No matter how mad we get, we have no choice in the system we are in. The fucking boomers/gen xers really set themselves up to be a bunch of selfish twats with no real repercussions.
It's an Oligarchy and a dictatorship under the guise of democracy and freedoms and a majority of people are too busy hating the other 50% of the population yo realize we're getting fucked and manipulated.
Close, it's because they did it, failed, and (so far) suffered no consequences for doing so. Pretty well signaled that it's open season for pulling whatever dystopian totalitarian crap you want and the worst that can happen is it won't work.
Because it’s a good new term to describe something people had been on some level noticing but hadn’t had a word for.
It’s just so accurate at describing what’s going on everywhere
Same as all the good things turning into shit..
I think this is the guy who coined it but maybe not the article he initially coined the term https://pluralistic.net/2023/01/21/potemkin-ai/
