I'm not so sure if it's entirely correct. I mean, there's always technology in every opportunity, but I think it's even worse. I believe we're heading into an era where all ideas are being stolen, even the greatest coding methods and principles. Even if people come up with insanely innovative ideas, all of this information is being stolen, categorized, detected, identified, bucketed, stored, and added back into a bigger machine. The companies with the most GPUs and the most capital to build infinite amounts of data centers will simply absorb all this information, while the rest of us are left with scraps and leftovers.
I guess that's kind of how it's always been, but it's also not the same. We've almost learned, in a way, that we can now mass-consume all the thoughts, information, and data from everything. But the only people who can truly parse through it and figure out things from it are those with infinite money, all the resources, and those at the top. I guess that's always been the way.

We're full speed ahead on validating the dead internet theory is my take. Increasingly things are just generated by LLMs, parsed and read by bots to improve SEO and then fed back into LLMs.
People are just going to retreat into smaller communities where they can guarantee they're interacting with a person and the era of widely sharing art or music or writing will be over.
At least assuming that the grift train doesn't derail and catch fire before them.

I mean normal people communicate with each other over text message. That has been the case and continues being the case. The people you see very actively participating in social media and blogs are complete outliers. No normal person can have a valid relationship with 1000 people at once.
