Our online world is rapidly ‘enshittifying’. How do we stand up against it?
This is one of the reasons that I’m not worried that AI is going to amount to anything meaningful and will likely remain in its current form or worse for a long time. The current products are cannibalizing important sites that they source their data from. Those sites may collapse and AI is going to stop learning and not have much further competition. Then the companies are going to stop innovating and stagnate while making their products prohibitively expensive and bogging them down with ads.
100% right
We have already seen this with AI getting worse by eating its own slop… and some important sources of training data are already collapsing (like the Stack Overflow forum).
