100% agree. It is not just those who are exploiting the masses, but it is the masses that walk right into it and worse idolize the broken exploitative systems. Doing my best to skirt around the mess inbound.
Time to reboot civilization, like in the many games and books
Agreed. I really think that we are rebooting and is one of the reasons there is suddenly so much conflict in the world. The powers that be feel their power shifting and are in the early stages of their death throes. AI is shifting power. I mean IT has been shifting power with the Internet for decades and despite the enshitification, it still has rocked established powers. AI is amplifying it and thank goodness we have powerful open source AI as it will be the enemy the powerful will have a very hard time attacking. I believe we are heading into a new civilization, but there is also a possibility that it actually just ends completely. Perhaps the Great Filter is a real barrier. I suspect not, but I thought people would have embraced decentralization and we have not so I am clearly out of touch with humanity. I mean I am not neurotypical so that makes sense.
