Their problem is that this event broadcast things which totally contradict the narrative they’re trying to build about what’s happening in the world.

Yes, lets ignore real problems in favour of turning them into partisan shouting matches.

It’s worked so well until now.

Clearly they would rather be consumed by other things instead.

Well we’re going to suffer until enough people do figure it out.

The sad part is that this is a very well known phenomena, yet people become too consumed by everything else to even care about learning of such warnings left behind by long dead civilizations.

Huh, that kind of gets the juices going, and I’m wondering how much we’ve been trying to make our problems fit the technologies we’ve built, rather than the other way around.

Civilization exists because enough people know that we’re better off working together than against each other.

Imagine an overweight middle aged man wearing a shirt that says “moustache rides: $5”.

Yea, not exactly alpha, huh?

All media consumed supplants the ordinary brain function.

Laws aren’t enough for something of this magnitude. The general population needs to grow to match the much greater challenges presented by modern technology, or we’re going to descend into another dark age until we do learn how to behave.

I’ve had arguments with people in simple little games, where the points barely matter at all, because some people get upset if others don’t play for pure efficiency.

Perhaps all the above could be summed up by “Capitalist Greed”…??? 🤡 🖕

No. It can’t. And you’re actively hurting your efforts by attaching high school edgelord bullshit to it.

Corruption has been a serious problem everywhere, forever, and does not care one bit what words the ruling party uses to express themselves. None of what is happening right now is restricted to nations which call themselves capitalist.

They’ve been known to literally lock people in their factories, and even put up suicide nets to prevent slaves from killing themselves.

I don’t understand how streaming became so popular

Have you ever found yourself using someone else’s PC for some reason and they’ve got 20 browser toolbars, 3 anti-viruses and no ad blocker, and they’ve just been using computers that way forever, thinking it’s perfectly normal?

Yea, some people have extremely low standards.

In 2025 everything is just a messaging problem to these goons.

“Almost overnight, the school fees went up from £55,000 per year to £70,000. The increase was shocking, but not entirely unexpected,” Moy says. “Ultimately, I believe, the education provided and the sacrifices we will have to make are worth it.”

So they readily admit it’s a fair price, but still felt the need to complain to the media?

Why do we keep paying people like this to enshittify everything?

Because if you refuse to destroy yourself, your family, and the rest of the world, they’ll import 3rd worlders who will do it because they’re being threatened.

It’s quite something how they’re trying to force the Internet to work as an artificial version of things we already have, instead of using it for the unique purposes which it can actually fulfill.

Literally the first novel ever written “Sinuhe” speaks of a very similar crisis in ancient Egypt.

I mean, it was trained to mimic human social behaviour. If you want a completely honest LLM I suppose you’d have to train it on the social behaviours of a population which is always completely honest, and I’m not personally familiar with such.

I was really confused by the headline for a minute until I realized they were talking about products returned instead of profits returned.
