"heartwarming ... To see blogspam" the internet was a mistake

• wongarsu 2y ago
  The internet was great, everything we did with it in the last 20 years with it was the mistake. Collimating in a comment that blogspam can now be one of the positive notes in the hellscape we are building. A very useful hellscape though, for all its flaws

      Thanks, that's the right word. Now at least you know the comment wasn't written by AI

        It won't be long until AI makes spelling, grammar and usage errors, if it's trained on things like message boards where people still don't know the difference between were, we're and where, lose vs. loose, affect vs. effect and wary vs. weary.

    The internet IS great. The problem is similar to everything else in the world: the ratio of idiots to smart people using it is widely in favor of the idiots and they get to influence where it goes, how it operates and many other things. In other words, democracy sucks but we have not found something so much better that it would pay for the benefit of freedom for everyone...
