I'm not exactly how it'd work, but something like that seems possible? Or like, how, by taking the guardrails off of Twitter, Elon Musk may have tipped it into the abyss, and now we all emigrate to some happier place, maybe our spam overlords make the internet intolerable, and we all retreat to something nicer.
The Elon example is what I hope for. And I can't wait. Soon the LLM's will create 80%+ of the content out there and will be talking to each other more than with humans. That will move good ideas to the fringes and lastly out of sight.
Looking forward to corporate all-hands coming with live/auto-generated fact check pirate feeds, á la Twitter Community Notes.
“Due to unforeseen supply chain challenges(1), unfortunately we’ll have to work together to become leaner. There will be no bonuses this year, and we’ll be losing 5,000 of our beloved colleagues. We’re all in this together(2).
1: Disruptions at our main distributor’s facilities were forecasted in Q3 last year and Q1 this year with a confidence score of Medium and High, respectively. These were dismissed by the COO for fear that switching suppliers would compromise quarterly targets.
2: The suspension of bonuses will only apply to employees graded E2 or lower.
If we ever build anything based on how Twitter currently operates, we're in trouble...
Also, I do think there's a kind of more subtle point here, which is when we imagine an organization with lots of data at our fingertips (like actually, not in the way that some new BI tool says "data at your fingertips" or whatever) is in this kind of futuristic, omniscient Star Trek-y way. Which, great as that would be, feels like it skips the step where people can also say, "I thought that we had a good quarter of generating enterprise pipeline? Or did we just get a lot of new leads and not convert it to pipeline yet?," ad we can quickly answer that without everyone bickering definitions or whose version of the numbers is right.
Benn, the frame of cost and speed - when they both approach zero, discontinuous change happens. It is a very helpful framework. Thank you for sharing. Maybe we will not need any enterprise analytics teams in future :)
Well, that's understandable. Basically, the program you download and use allows you to run a program on your computer that is a separate "internet network" that currently exists on top of the regular internet connectivity (but won't soon). You use a special browser to access this "internet within the internet", but this browser is programmed to be TOTALLY decentralized, so ZERO control is possible. So, for example, qortal has their own Q-tube application to replace youtube, and the videos are distributed over the network computers (ie decentralized) so no government or anybody can censor you. Why? Because youtube is centrally owned and controlled, so if they don't like you talking about vaccines, then they just click a button and you are shutdown. This is impossible to do on qortal, because the application is downloaded to every computer on the network. Everybody has their own functional version of Q-tube to view videos, and the videos themselves are scattered over millions of computers. Good luck trying to enforce censorship of vaccine truths when you would have to go to millions of homes and manually destroy their computers, and the blockchain encryption does not even allow you to know who is running the qortal program. For this and many other reasons, this project is the wave of the future.
I hope I didn't get too techie and you understand the gist.
Love Smitten Kitchen too! I was just thinking about making these again: https://smittenkitchen.com/2014/02/chocolate-hazelnut-linzer-hearts/
Nice analysis. My hope is that the created BS will bring us back to a more meaningful Internet somehow, just as it was initially intended.

Until we all strap a macbook to our heads and only talk to our avatars.

I, for one, would happily volunteer as tribute to be put out to pasture when the machines finally take over.
Thanks Benn! Your insights are much appreciated
Thanks!
qortal.org is well positioned to soon destroy the internet, by making it free for everybody. Check it out and you will understand what I mean.
I'm not gonna lie, I checked it out and I do not understand it at all

Ah, ok, I do get it. Or at least, I get how it works. But as a boring, mainstream lemming, I don't rally "get it."
But when I do, I'll see you on the other side, my friend.
