The current digital hellscape that's developing is something we've been warned about consistently over the past 30 years.

All these dangers were known and predicted.

There's an uncanny parallel with the climate crisis.

Fatalistic somnambulism.

But contrary to the climate crisis and what all the AI boosters are saying, it is not inevitable. Its something that is actively being built, it’s not something that just happens. It can be stopped, a different system can exist. The AI crowd also hasn’t proven at all that what they are building can self sustain. So far the economics are monstrously bad, there is no viable business model
