I think everyone should listen to the recent TMK episode on slop world, and how it dovetails with the degradation of the internet into a big ol' chumbox. It's all downhill, and this hijacking of the beautiful messy internet lots of us grew up with is only intensifying more and more, like a vicious cycle.
We live in the guts of a perpetual value-generating machine that works by feeding AI-generated slop ads to AI bots. We have a bastardized form of the internet, crafted by inbred chatbots, which is increasingly ceasing to contain anything informative or important. There are islands of content where we are less exposed to this weapons-grade bullshit, but the sea level is rising, and there's no holding it back. It's a race to the bottom in which instead of humanizing technology, we're trying to technologize humanity.
