Yesterday I have been arguing way too long with someone that was convinced the snipers on Ohio protests are here to shoot protesters. I still failed to talk some sense into them and stopped eventually but it was exhausting.
I don’t think they were alone in this as the post had thousands of likes and some wanted to throw pipebombs and this kinda stuff
I wonder if the nft tech could be used to mark everything real with a proof of authenticity. Then those things that aren’t on the chain would be considered suspicious and you would have automated green border around any content that is authentic and red for the outside of the blockchain
I know that we all want to enjoy things and don’t live in fear like rats but keeping your pics online nowadays is not a good move. Though I guess if they are already there it’s kinda too late probably?
The AI will become utter garbage, mark my words. It will complete the downfall of the internet though first. What will come after internet? Hard to say maybe we will exchange culture in VR? Probably at some point every kind of forum will be unreadable from automated marketing and propaganda. Reddit already is. Lemmy is too small… yet but it will crash even harder if it is noticed by the wrong people. 2 years tops to enjoy this medium
Though I admit I am somewhat of a doomer inclined so maybe there is a way to create alternative that cannot be poisoned
I wish you could defederate from Florida
Unfortunately so much stuff on the web is astroturfed it’s hard to form a good opinion nowadays.
Even the products reviews or maybe especially these it’s hard to tell what is true nowadays and what is fiction or misinfo
Id love to brush it off and say eh just paranoid but there’s real money and motive.
Reddit was relatively good for some time but then I heard it’s already full of marketing
As always - extreme. 5/7 days I feel like a god(dess?) and other 2 like something slimy at the bottom of the barrel. Today is one of the worse so I need to watch myself to not say something stupid and not be a complete troll menace but if I survive then in 2 days I come back again with boundless love for the world yay.
Hard to get used to this rollercoaster sometimes I just need to not use any social media in those 2 days but always fail haha
Also bought whole apple lineup watch, phone, laptop, ipad, airpods this week suddenly because now I am an apple fangirl.
But it made sense right, I wanted to use google comfy life easier making features but didn’t want to give up my privacy or install some graphene os madness that would make life just harder
