And how do we stop it.
Now that normal average people have been using it for at least 2-3 years we are seeing the gradual breakdown of society in most western countries. People like us who have been online since the early 00s understand that the internet is NOT serious business, but it seems like this original and important lesson to let online stay online did not get filtered down to the masses. Instead the internet has become segmented, policed, monetized, politicized.
You have warring states, and fractured kingdoms. Groups of people fucking balloons will soon be asking for mandated work breaks to rub up against inflatables as their human right. The Marxists, like always, have organised first and gotten a massive head start, but like usual they have been too busy arguing amongst themselves to form any cohesive structure, and now the fascists are coming online in a big way and it seems complete victory is inevitable, death of pc culture, death of left wing politics, exposure of corruption and so on.
How far away are we from Hacker Esq. to be a legitimate profession. It seems almost essential for media and larger organisations to hire 'consultants' to eliminate, disrupt or smear the digital footprint of their competitors, it appears inevitable that all future political campaigns will outsource a lot of their opinion management to data miners and AI-shilling with machine learning bots.
What is the Internet end game here? It seems like a BLASPHEMY to even suggest the Internet is a bad thing, that's what I want to explore in this thread. Is the Internet actually a subtle and invisible cancer that is eroding progress and replacing it with some kind of technological homeostasis. Autonomous vehicles are not an improvement, they are a massive liability and a shift in autonomy if you think about it.
Total Autonomy in technology means total dependency in humanity… wtf, is this an alien take over? Are we slaves now? How do we subvert this intelligence, without resorting to some idiotic Luddite lifestyle in the woods, shitting in a bucket filled with leaves.
