Was it inevitable that search engines would take all the news revenue, destroy the economics of news, and then release AI for a perfect storm of a post truth world?
Maybe, maybe not. But things are certainly going to be very interesting over the next decades. Buckle up.
- maxbond 3y agoI don't think anything in history is inevitable, I think it's always contingent on decisions people made at the time and that could have been decided differently, but I will say that exact series of events was laid out in a speculative fiction short film[1] I watched about 15 years ago. So clearly it was foreseeable. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntN4q7vuPUI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntN4q7vuPUI ["Googlezon", 10m]
