Almost makes me think curated TV will come back, even if all streamed. Real humans with reputations, and ensuring no fakery.

And a vast decline in youtube.



That's every streaming service right now. Netflix hides all kinds of things they have on offer from you because they've already decided what they want you to watch and they'll push it at you over and over again while keeping other content hidden unless you explicitly search for it.

We have curated TV now, but just like before the people doing the curation aren't doing it based on what's good for you, the viewer. It's based on what will benefit their bottom line.

The things we try to resort to in order to figure out what to spend our time watching like review sites and social media are already gamed and astroturfed to death. Each new one that comes out gets less useful as time goes on because of it.

Good luck finding the real humans online among the countless AI generated curators PR firms churn out.


The joke used to be, "there's no girls on the internet."

Now its, "there's no humans on the internet."

I struggle to find a comparison that adequately describes the head snap at how fast some of these image / video generators were deployed.

The one that really got me was the immediate use of fake image gen by the British Royal Family. [1] (Check the kid's hand in the lower left they didn't even mark, broken fingers) Didn't even try to respond with anything real. Immediate response, photo image gen.
