very insane to watch this video and then rewatch the matrix, a film in which an evil ai keeps their human biofuel calm by convincing them it’s the peak of civilization, the end of the 20th century

i wish more people were talking about this, that the endgame of surveillance capitalism turned out to be using all that data to churn out products that are sort of right some of the time and convincing us all to accept that
“good enough” is the main problem, companies will accept a 65% if it saves them 99% in labor costs in the immediate future, while tomorrow’s thinkers will take the D+ if it means passing the class and not having to do the homework. “Cognitive debt” a fun way of saying generation destroyed.
