We’re heading toward a Library of Babel scenario where virtually every permutation of text, video, and audio will either pre-exist online (Borges style) or be artificially generated on the fly (as on https://libraryofbabel.info/) to drive engagement for cheap. Which means that every most brilliant piece of insight will be out there; but they will be drowned out by vastly many more orders of magnitude of trite platitudes. Like in the Library of Babel, no index exists to tell them apart. There is no “key” to finding the needles of greatness in the haystack of slop. Brute forcing discovery would take literal eons, as in Borges’ story. In turn, insightful dwellers of the internet like @riotgoools give up, log off, and go touch grass, leaving ever more of the space to be filled by bots that not only author the content, but also pretend to be consuming and engaging with it. It’s the most recent embodiment of the Dead Internet Theory. How do we course correct from here? 1/3
