Guys, soon we will live in a digital concentration camp, where everyone will know about us, and our fate will be decided based on the collected data, when the world will continue to rot alive. Are you ready for this incredible adventure? Well, have you prepared your masks and learned to play the law-abiding citizen so as not to get caught? After all, it will be very easy to get caught, it will be enough to look at someone incorrectly once or criticize someone, for example, the government.
If anything, I’m interested in what ideas you have on how to live in such an empty and rotting hell, since everything has already been decided for us a long time ago and the plan is being implemented. Well, on the other hand, what could you expect in a world where the strongest survives? I think such an outcome was obvious from the very beginning. I think you yourself have already realized that the alternatives are rather a blatant and sweet lie. The only question remains: how to survive and remain human until the very end in a world where even the soul has no value?
I am already gradually recovering from the deep depression that I will never again be able to realize what I have always dreamed of and I want to hear your sincere opinion so that I no longer have false hopes because the road to hell seems pleasant and is similar to heaven, and the road to heaven seems like an unattainable dream and feels like hell.
There is no point in warning anyone anymore, it is useless, people either believe in convenient lies like: “I will cope somehow, it worked before!”, or are tired of life and are simply looking for consolation in at least something, and only a very small percentage of people accept the truth and either resist to the last, or leave this life, or simply escape from this concentration camp.
So yes, I would probably prefer to enjoy every free day until the last, soaking up the fresh air and chatting on various topics while I still can.
Dystopias are becoming reality, aren’t they?
I have a hope that a “race to the bottom” might save us from the worst.
Right now everyone is tethered to corporate APIs like umbilical cords… but it doesn’t have to be that way. “Closed” social media (even if corporate like Discord and Telegram, for the moment) is gaining a lot of traction.
Locally runnable LLMs are starting to undermine corporate endpoints, and agents could run on phones and pull the human engagement rug right out from under giants (eg instead of your service app or Facebook or whatever tracking your habits accessing stuff, your phone navigates the junk and “does it for you,” depriving them of any human interaction to mine, and the human of any viewed ads or wasted time).
This is viable because (past the sunk cost of owning a phone and charging the battery) it’s free. We could distribute automated evasion of digital hell, on current or near future hardware, theoretically.
Well, hope is good, but now time is running out, I think now is the time to analyze and act decisively, even paranoidly, if we don’t want to be slaves.
