The internet is sort of fucked. It was bad enough with marketers ruining search and sites through SEO obsession, but now with this chatbot bullshit everywhere? What’s the point? It’s all bs.
Fuck, we used to do this in the 90s. Big old farmhouses on land no longer used for farming. Owner of the land charged $2 to park and that was it. Bands would play, people mingled, some people would sell bags of chips and soda out of their trunks.
So much better…before the dark times, before the internet.
But how do you prevent those smaller spaces from being encroached on by LLMs? If they can write fake reviews they can write fake user profiles, and small spaces often have tiny mod teams that can’t react quickly to rapid nonsense machines
I’m just a little sad at the idea of having to abandon every online space because tech bros refuse to turn off their plagiarism machines. The internet is not all good but there’s a lot of little places where things shine through that wouldn’t be feasible in real life
I mean, aren’t we changing things right now, changing the way it goes?
Sorry for all my railing against the mainstream, I can’t resist quoting T2.
But yes, I suspect you’re right. Really, it’s a kind of return to the pre-commercial internet, before corpos started trying to capture, valueize, and monetize all of our freely given interactions on their platforms.

My first (non-school) band’s first gig was one of those farm gigs. It’s how I got the idea.
