>>84701749>>84699199The internet used to be something international and free, but instead of a state's common law, it devolved into a tool of big tech companies like Twitter, Facebook or Google who sell data to each other and shadowy players in the background to control everyone. Every "suggested content" is intended to make the user feel and think a certain way. You may think that TikTok and China are evil, but what they do is 1) the same and 2) transparent since it's clear who's behind all of this: the Chinese state.
Western tech is just the same, you just don't obviously see who's behind all of this, but you see the consequences which are a dumbed down cult of money that loses every connection to its actual peer group. Dumbed down and without fellows, there's nothing else to do but to go deeper down this spiral of hopelessness and consumption.
The zenith of all of this is reached when the user doesn't even interact with others online, but just with bots and AI scripts. At this point, it's not about wether AI is human, but if a man is a robot or not.
