@caseynewton And it is my birthday! To kick off the holiday weekend that the nation has graciously offered up to all in honor of this day, I am heading out on my bike for some leisurely riding around town, bakery, breweries - and will have #Hardfork playing in my ears! Have a great holiday weekend, Casey and @kevinroose !
Actually it's not writing. It's neon letters directly wired to a fusion reactor.
The internet you knew? It's gone. There is no recovering it. There's too much money and incentive behind the idea of making the entire village into a strip mall run by LLMs. Your gardens are forfeit.
I don't know if a #hardfork is possible, but even if it isn't, we gotta get to work building the intentional, human web. The one that rejects generative content, the one that verifies humanity through mutual trust, the one that takes privacy and safety of our neighbors as the highest value.
There are many tools available, but united effort must join together around them. Carefully, intentionally, we have to start moving what matters away from the polluted land.
I want you to read both of these stories, and watch the video in the first one, then tell me that access to human-created information isn't in absolute peril.
I continue to hope for and predict a #hardfork of the internet that gets those of us who care out of the deluge of generative slurry these advertisers want us to drown in.
