Frankly, I'm kinda scared about a negative-trust future.

Compared to the 90's, not only are the financial pressures for scams/fraud/astroturfing rather extreme, but the cost of running lots of complicated lies is dropping like a stone.

That negative-trust future is already here.

When GPT showed up, I posted that the internet and the world as we knew it was over. I mostly got downvoted and negative comments.
