The expected outcome is internet collapse. The internet is a mass communication tool that allows bothersome peasants to organize and educate themselves if they are inclined to do so. Which means it must be destroyed.
The poor, disenfranchised, and uneducated are significantly easier to manipulate. So the goal of the 1% is to break society, eliminate the ability to educate, eliminate the ability to organize, and the use their near total control over mass media to assure everyone that they are better off under the thumb of the technocratic state.
That's a good point. The internet collapse also helps this new age of " information capitalism" to spread even further: any information that you may seek will be behind a paywall or intermediate by an AI that you have to pay a subscription to access. In fact, that's the best case scenario for all these AI companies: to kill free and reliable information.
He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.
This is not a conspiracy to destroy the internet. This is a tragedy of the commons. It doesn't take many bad agents to ruin it for everyone. AI slop is so cheap and has the potential to make profit, so it's a no brainer if you don't have a better way to make money.
The only reason the AI companies are crying is because now they need humans in the loop somehow. They'll need to source data from only known and verified real-person sources (like reputable news sites, magazines, personal blogs, and podcasts), manually verify data is not slop, and/or pay people to generate data for them.
Capitalism will kill civilization. We can't escape it. If we tear it down, we go down with it. If we don't, it will collapse under its own weight, and soon, and it will crush us all under the flaming rubble.
I know I sound all doomsday-y. Sorry.
Apart from being hit with what seemed like random ban hammers, that was one of the reasons I left Reddit.
It just seems so “the same”. Every comment chain is filled with the same predictable comments and they’re all predictably commenting on the same predictable content.
I hear lots of Lemmy newbies saying they stay on Reddit because of the user base in their niche communities. I hope those same people post or comment here a little bit in their niche instances before buggering off back to the black hole of bots.
I love that I can spot individual users again without tagging them.
I love the guy who uses that ye olde symbol instead of typing the letters “th”
This place is awesome because of the limited user base IMO. Very rarely have I been met with negativity here.
I joined Reddit in 2008. I saw it devolve year by year. When it got big enough, it attracted the attention of the capital. Then it quickly became a propaganda mouthpiece of the money. I had big subs on there, now I'm aggressively permabanned, every single account I've ever had, easily a hundred of them. If you don't play along, you don't belong, it's become just another controlled media outlet. It will happen here too, as soon as it becomes big enough to become a problem, they will find a way. It's extremely scary.
Who could have imagined the Illuminati were a bunch of pimplefaced billionaire nerds acting all out in the open.
It's wild that most people don't understand this is happening. And it's being manifested in a Mafia type way.
I honestly have no hope for society. People really are ignorant and arrogant to the point that they are basically like farm animals.
Yep. That about sums it up. It's a bit worse than that though, because they can also actively poison the AI and make it express more positive right wing sentiments too. For now that's still a bit tricky, because the AI goes mecha-Hitler, but don't worry, they will fix that glitch in the coming months.
It doesn't even matter if it does a poor job. I see people scrolling endlessly, 24/7, they're already zombified. The amount of people who can filter the bullshit or think critically about what they are fed online are in an extreme minority. It doesn't matter for the ruling class if there's some single digit percent of the population that don't buy it, fooling most people most of the time is absolutely enough to rule absolutely.
Anyone else inhabiting a very dark mindspace lately? We should start a club.
