One of those days I sift through what’s on hacker news and find there’s something I don’t find too objectionable, in that it faintly affirms something I’ve said years ago - that the biggest impact of AI isn’t so much what it can do, but how it will change and reframe how we think about the medium and ecosystem in which we operate online, and how we consider it a space in which to operate (as much as the nature of the work we put there). It does a better job of tying this to a kind of exocapitalism than I had considered, but what with Trump 2 and the venal thieves on the up and up, it’s an inevitable reading.
