Damn, lot of fiery and valid critiques. Reinforces what I like to say the West's obsession with markets so much so that it has turned society into a market first with a society tacked on second. Fewer and fewer places are what they should be, societies with a market.
The part about the arts and music is very telling - turning it into brain chemistry analysis for what sounds will poke the brain the right way for short term engagement. Now everything is being designed for short-term engagement and no depth.
This goes into human relationships as it becomes harder and harder to find people that are capable of anything resembling sophisticated conversation. And AI Slop may be getting better, but reality is people's communication is also being brought down to AI Slop levels. AI Slop now competing with Human Slop. Which slop will win? What a time to be alive.
Was watching Tom Dillon (a comedian) on DOAC podcast, and he said something so true.... the whole influencer sphere around buying shit like recommending beauty products or wellness pills just needs to disappear and be replaced by AI. It's not because the AI is so great, it's what he said, these are the MOST boring and vapid people imaginable. These are the people the young generations aspires to be. The volunteering of self-lobotomization of the population and people turning into shells of "real" people. These folks, and those that look up to them, cannot and will not change anything in society for the better.
