If it killed the internet it'd be great. It's a net negative now to human flourishing in my view.
Unfortunately, just like AI, it will just make the internet worse. Keep all the bad parts and add "zero privacy".
Totally agree. But it's possible that the encrapification of the internet will drive people away from it. I can hope.
I think it drives away the very ones who built it and were around before it was ubiquitous. Which is probably a lot of the people here.
I don't like to be too rough on the youth in general, but something I notice that is really concerning is they have absolutely zero instinct for an expectation of privacy. If there was any one thing I had to point to different between my generation and that age now, it's not that they are lazy or stupid or any of the normal stuff, it's they don't even expect, much less demand privacy. These are whose parents tracked their every move once they were old enough to have any freedom at all. I find that alone appalling. They find it normal. They willingly trade secure information, will easily give out data to apps, and hell a ton of them share pics of their genitals damn near as easily as their face.
