Shoutout to Letters from Fiume for recommending this video. Watch on 1.25 speed at least, though. :)
First off, this genuinely upsets me, however, what I'm seeing on the web (I hate that "internet" and "web" became interchangeable words) is mostly free of slop as far as I'm able to judge. Maybe it will also find its way into a segment (of audience/space) and remains confined there, just like I don't need to be faced with brain rot content (unless the Hungarian government spreads it) or other large themes/trends I have negative interest in.
I am also vary of the existence of parasocial web-relationships with streamers and online personalities and this is much, much worse.
AI companies reaching into the real world with devices sounds absolutely disgusting. I can only hope that they will find the same fate as Google Glass (and glassholes). If not, we'll genuinely have to start looking at using/wearing anti-surveillance tech in less than 10 years. At least that's a new market segment we can innovate in?
Before reaching the end, I thought of the emergence of modern Luddites and then came the author's prediction of anti-AI terrorists blowing up data centers... This should remain a pessimistic thought experiment, so no civil (or any other kind of) war, please!
