I’m the kinda of person that struggles a bit with addiction. I have to wonder how much that contributes to me using garbage content generation machines like Xitter, but also all the other hateful, abusive, exploitative shit that finds me on the internet? How many real people have I watched die because that shit came up on my feed? How many exploited people have literally prostituted themselves through the feed? How many addictive foods and substances have been pushed towards me? I hate that we currently live in a world where this aspect of who I am is something this system actively seeks out and exploits. It’s all so dark and hateful. However, I’m excited for when I’ll have my own personal AI agent that I personally and truly control, that will shield me from a lot of this bullshit, and really protect me from much of the garbage and free crack-hits that are the content eyeball hooks that have you doom scrolling at 3am. I will happily spit on the grave of this shithole system of corporate exploitation that is the current architecture of the industrial internet.
