So technology, once a progressive force, is now going to be used to conserve dysfunction. Can't wait to see the latest Deep Learning advancements used to enforce whatever is deemed appropriate. Future generations are done with approved high-school popularity contests enforced everywhere. I am wondering if China is going for another 2000 years of no advancements, like it used to when it exhausted its cultural roots before.

On the one hand those advancements are being used to enforce users only view whats deemed appropriate, while on the other hand it's used to maximize your time-on-screen by stealing your attention in increasingly ingenious ways. I believe we are already past the event horizon on a dystopian singularity that will land us somewhere in the middle of Orwell and Huxley.
