Been thinking about the .com bubble and AI and I'm scared bros



Unfortunately the burst didn't kill the web at all, but it took until the late 2010s for people to really figure out how to monetize the web with data mining and targeted advertising. Once the AI bubble pops (probably taking the entire US economy with it lollll) people are going to actually start finding the nitches where it's genuinely hugely useful and profitable — as a natural extension of the surveillance economy.



Slop generation can (and is already) being used by social media dealers to trap their addicts in funnels of slop perfectly tailored to their own neurosese and mental vulnerabilities. Remember the Cambridge Analytica scandal? Once you have such an accurate mental model of users it would be trivial to tune their slop generator profiles to twist their opinions on something; imagine Twitter, Facebook, Tiktok, YouTube, etc selling the worldview of every single one of their users as a service to advertisers ...

... and political parties.



Generative AI tech fundamentally boils down to really fucking good pattern matching on complex, fuzzy datasets, which means it's really fucking good at surveillance. Adding its capabilities onto analytics pipelines is a no-brainer for ad tech companies and is increasingly being used for policing, hell, this is essentially what Palantir's business is built on. As awful as the panopticon we live in is right now, it's going to get way, way fucking worse all for the sake of making Google and Facebook even richer and fighting crime/terrorism/CSAM/immigration/whateverthefuck.



Obviously this isn't all that generative AI is good for and I might be wrong but I don't expect it to have a huge long-term impact outside of these nitches

“BlueSky is decentralised” - the media.

let me tell you, there's little that pisses me off more than what i call the "$100 walmart e-waste laptop scam". laptop manufacturers love to make cheap plastic pieces of junk with the worst screen you could ever imagine, 2-4GB of RAM, 16-32GB of eMMC storage, and a slow CPU for around $100. they're completely useless for doing anything at all, the best use I can think for one is to hook it up to a better monitor and keyboard and use it as a DOS gaming PC.



if you want to save basically anything, you're not going to be able to because of the eMMC that i'm surprised is even big enough for windows, and you can forget about installing linux either because the storage is still too small on it to do anything legitimately useful. you can't upgrade the storage or RAM either, as it's all soldered to the motherboard.



these laptops usually sell for around $100 at stores like walmart, and consumers who know nothing about computers will buy them, wonder why it's so slow and terrible, and inevitably either return or throw them out. they come off the production line already being total e-waste, and it really annoys me to no end. it's a massive waste of resources that would only stop if idiots would stop buying them.
