Eh. I’ll take a MAYBE over the past 10 years or more of the human driven social media manipulations and scams and poison. We’ve made almost literally fucking nothing of value in a decade. It’s been ads, Ponzi schemes, and a race to the bottom of tolerance.

I’ll take the democratization of content. Knowing that it will allow the good and the bad.

… so how it different from the radio or TV or “influencers” now? I have limited time to consume media and am not going to be less picky when it gets easier for people to make garbage.

There was some innovation but 2010-2020 had some dead air as investors lavished ponzi scheme SaaS companies with cash and big firms poured the profits of early internet into VR, AR, AI, drones, self-driving, etc.

The last year and a half things are starting to pop off. OpenAI, SpaceX, Comma, Helion, many more…that doomer “everything sucks and is collapsing” mentality is on the way out in my opinion. The time for talk is over and it’s time to build, or so they say.
