@dustyData@technology I’d like to challenge a basic assumption here: is the “dead internet” a bad outcome? This question likely devolves to another question: is unfiltered access to the internet as it currently exists healthy for humans? It may be that the internet is a net negative, and using personal ai agents as filters for the rampant toxicity may provide us the benefits of the net without the negatives (note by “personal ai agents” I mean agents under full personal control, not the garbage that Meta and Grok are pushing, which represent a worse-that-status-quo outcome)
I’m in my 50s and my entire career has been based on the internet. We’ll be fine, people will form local mesh nets, we’ll stop learning about every bad thing that’s happening everywhere, trust will become local again.
