Seeing how ubiquitous sponsored ads are in youtube videos now makes me wonder if all the mysterious prehistoric art we cant figure out was just adverts for shit. Like, what if stonehenge was just an advert for massive rocks...

"digital asbestos" is fantastic framing.
I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.
I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...
the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

If you're a Roblox developer, be careful. Roblox does not give you any indication as to why your game is taken down for DMCA like other platforms.
Had this happen to a larger content creator friend of mine, pretty shit of Roblox and it's definitely all his own stuff.

Microsoft's insistence and persistence on AI is like having an annoying salesman who continually finds you no matter where you are and is like
"Hey kid, you want some copilot?" - even after you have said NO like 1000 times at this point.

It's nuts seeing multiple whacky emergency events within the span of a month.
First a bunch of cops tackling some dudes at a beach that had a samurai sword and bit a cop
And now today I've passed a car quite on fire on the other side of the road. #nz

Oh I've also been using Lune instead of Python for tooling stuff... much nicer.
