kind of a dystopian nightmare world in which large corporations utilize AI to create low cost, infinite content that humans engage with (mostly content catering to the human tendency for tribalism, prestige, sexual desires etc...), sounds like we are creating a world similar to the Matrix.
- roody15 3y agoI think we may have already entered it. Infinite scroll based feeds like TikTok, Instagram, and Threads (and possible Reddit these days) … just AI algorithm deciding what you should find “entertaining” or “important”. It’s really the ultimate nightmare with the internet becoming just TV 3.0 in which content is controlled and curated … you just consume mindlessly. Any attempts to create a Reddit clone.. or system in which people freely communicate is now “regulated” for “hate” speech or “terrorism”. The days of open discourse … appear to be numbered. Even email will be analyzed by AI to look for “trends” or “optimize” employee efficiency. It really is time for a new internet.

- l33t233372 3y agoI agree with the sentiment, but I disagree with this: > Any attempts to create a Reddit clone.. or system in which people freely communicate is now “regulated” for “hate” speech or “terrorism”. The fact is that many “systems in which people freely communicate” are regularly first adopted by people who participate in hate speech and terrorism.

The film is so compelling that its viewers lose all interest in anything other than repeatedly viewing it, and thus eventually die.
