im expecting a walled garden on US internet in a similar fashion to the great firewall of Chinese internet (at some point in the near future).
It will look something like :
Chinese Internet - American Internet - Global Internet
As countries become more authoritarian, the next step is usually total control of media (the internet) + ease of surveillance.

How this will look in a more concrete sense :
For example, China will be fed one type of misinformation, the US another, India another etc etc. all utilising deepfake AI. And no one will know the actual truth so the masses will capitulate to whatever their leadership feeds them.
And people will submit their rational thinking skills to a chatbot at this point which will also agree with the prevailing narrative.

This is why you need to continuously prompt your chatbot to be disagreeable and high iq. Otherwise right now it will only further feed your confirmation bias

digital detox https://x.com/palis/status/1943004956354842932
The reason you’re burnt out is a combination of dopamine overload, attention deficient programming, valueless noise to mentally parse and stress of doomscrolling
If you want to get over it you need to do a digital detox where you completely cut out short form video content, limit scrolling on X and social media in general (ie IG, dating apps). Allow your dopamine receptors to heal, allow your ability to concentrate and focus to heal. You got even one week without any social media (say limit X to 30min morning, 30min night and 0 short form video content) and you’ll feel renewed in a way you haven’t since social media became a core part of your life

note the inevitability of the causes. rising income inequality, rising asset prices, increasing speculation and online dating. these trends will only get stronger, and thus long degeneracy.
crypto goes up. sports betting grows. buy now pay later grows. savings decrease. attention spans decrease. money is now numbers on a screen. discord is the new church. parasocial relationships replace real ones. birthrate falls. happiness falls. outcomes continue to separate into winners and losers. unemployment rises. neets rises. hikimoris rise.

long degeneracy is your college friend sports betting. long degeneracy is your uncle trading options. long degeneracy is your participation in an online community instead of an irl one. these trends are modern efficiency applied to human nature - the shortest-term reward cycles.
forces like ai only accelerate long degeneracy - at its core there is an understanding that the time to “make it” is running out, and any new developments only shorten the clock.
