"The thing we don’t know with all of this is how the move from search and
social to AI will impact criticism and every other type of culture writing.
Will all these scores just get absorbed into the machine and become accepted
facts that a bot spits back out? Or will the continued decentralization of the
web mean we head back to an internet where we start to know the names of
critics again? It’s possible both happen, with new names emerging that we know
and all the old ones frozen collectively in amber."
Also:
"I sort of assumed that when Elon Musk bought Twitter and started using it as
his personal bad idea urinal that other big platforms would get lazier about
moderation, but I did not expect that every other Silicon Valley tech maniac
would see it as a signal that they could finally go full Lowtax and declare
themselves a message board god king. If I had an infinite money machine run by
unpaid volunteers I simply wouldn’t go to war with them, but maybe that’s why
I’m not making the big bucks."
