I suspect that the honest outcome will be that platforms where AI content is allowed/encouraged will begin to appear like a video game. If everyone in school is ai-media famous - then no one is. There is most assuredly a market for a g

Student loans are the only loan type which you cannot bankrupt out of. I'm sure that many students would accept bankruptcy rather than bailouts if that is preferable. It doesn't make sense to saddle 20 year olds with insurmountabl

The only thing that has worked for me is to uninstall all of the social media apps. I still use some of their mobile web interfaces, but the friction of mobile web is enough to stop a doom scrolling loop.

I don’t think we should rule out the existence of digital heroin e.g. a digital experience so compelling that humans forget to eat. Whether short form video is this or not is debatable, I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a digital media exper

It might be cheaper to create a bio lab in space for high risk research than to actually run one on earth. I’d imagine the regulatory requirements for maintaining the cdc labs are extreme.
