this video made me feel understood.
made me feel like I'm not alone in the dread and disgust I have for the AI slop and the internet, and our future.
it's so relatable
it made me think about a quote I read sometime ago that went something along the lines of "the things that are the most human, are the things least compatible with monetization" and how trying to increase "productivity" will suck the soul out of everything that is worth having in life.

"I didn't think I'd ever advocate for faith, a blind trust, a conviction without proof, but I think we legitimately have to try to be stupidly optimistic. based on nothing but the fact that we'd probably feel better if we do so. no matter how good AI will become, no matter what industry they will destroy, nothing can destroy my faith that creativity will survive. we will always be able to create things with meaning. a type of meaning an AI will never be able to draw from, because an AI hasn't ever lived, has never experienced life, and the things that inspire us to create.
as long as AIs don't live among us people, they will never know a human story on the personal level. they can only ever imitate it.
our story, the humanity's story, should be in our hands.
my mom's passion for dogs, my sister's passion for art, my dad's passion for film, or I suppose my passion for everything I've done from level-design, level-art, environment-art, tech-art, programming, to teaching writing, music production, everything else I love sharing and learning about.
it matters that we were there to create it.
it matters that we care about the things we create."
