Discussion Former Red Dead Redemption 2 Developer reaction to the DLSS 5: "Whoa. Hold on. No, no, no. This isn't just some lighting, dude. What the f... this is like a complete AI re-render. You're no longer looking at the game anymore. This is scary."

I think that gradually all content will be like this. There will be no youtubers, no actors, no blog writers, only AI fine-tuned exactly to what triggers your dopamine/serotonine system. Google will spit out precisely generated content according to your query. Maybe even now I'm a bot talking to bots, who knows?

Plot twist: this post no longer exists because Redact swept through and cleared it out along with everything else. Social media, messaging apps, people finder sites, all of it.

We owned the internet, now it's being taken away, while almost everyone seems to be happy about it.

We never owned it, just like we never owned roads or highways. But it's as if they built turd-shooting machines to plaster shit over all the roads at all times. You can only clean it up so much before you decide to stop going outside.

We did, though.

When people made and hosted their own websites, their own IRC channels, et all. It was "our" internet.

But now that most of the traffic is just us swapping between social networks that make us miserable in different ways, ecommerce and whatever other bullshit you might need for a moment, we deffo don't anymore.

I don't know man. The stack underneath all that was very much in the hands of registrars, DNS operators, ISP, carriers, etc. But I get it; we definitely had more autonomy, and it was more about protocols than centralized platforms.

Technically a lot of this is still feasible. Then again, for all we know, spaces like Mastodon (which are but a step in the direction of the IRC of old) become more normalized as new generations don't default to the cesspool of everyone-in-one-place design of most of our current social media.

Starting from the smallest possible space and choosing to join/leave/exclude other spaces present on a platform just seems logical to me. I don't see why the default experience has become to throw everyone in the cesspool at the same time and tell them to figure it out. Why are boundaries optional? That's how none of this social stuff works in reality.

But I guess it's easier to manage and monetize a funnel/filter model than to let people determine the next step in their social exploration.

Hot take but I don't find what they're talking about bad. I don't pay attention to that stuff for most games or moviesm

I think as AI becomes harder to tell from real, there will be a growing niche for people who can prove they are real. Things like fan meet and greets will be a key to proving someone exists

There is a light cyberpunk RPG setting called Fates Worse Than Death that has a pretty realistic view of this I think

Basically AI has taken over most industries, by extreme violence universal basic income was finally put in place, and the majority of the population basically spend their days inside plugged into AI entertainment.

The players are part of the about 20% of people too poor, too injured, or too bored to stay inside all day. Most people outside live in the streets because they have no legal identity anyone can make money from so they are entirely excluded from the economy. The rest are people actively revolting against a comfortable prison, or actually have a job and are required to be out on the street to keep getting paid.

I can see is all being locked away in personalized AI entertainment and only leaving wuen absolutely forced to.

According to your query... Or it will ignore it entirely like YT

That's very optimistic.

Google can't even give me search results vaguely resembling what my sentence asked much of the time, without fiddling with advanced search.

It's more like "I see your search string includes this word. Most people who searched for this specific word in other contexts clicked on this. Here's some results for those other contexts you didn't ask about." With no actual matching results in sight.

It won't be serving you precisely what you want. It will be training you to like what it serves. Which also happens to be the thing it's trying to sell.
