8 days ago@dustyData @technology I’d like to challenge a basic assumption here: is the “dead internet” a bad outcome? This question likely devolves to another question: is unfiltered access to the internet as it currently exists healthy for humans? It may be that the internet is a net negative, and using personal ai agents as filters for the rampant toxicity may provide us the benefits of the net without the negatives (note by “personal ai agents” I mean agents under full personal control, not the garbage that Meta and Grok are pushing, which represent a worse-that-status-quo outcome)
@joey_builds @technology I’m honestly unclear on why any business would integrate so deeply with a company like Facebook - a brand so toxic they had to change their name to hide who they are.
While I can’t tell you exactly how Facebook would abuse these business relationships, i can 100% guarantee they *will* abuse those relationships. The possibilities for bad behavior with agents integrated into businesses are obvious and dangerous.
