So be it. Humanity got along just fine without the internet for milleneia. Its clear at this point that the public internet isn't going to be used to improve our human existence. If there is anything to bemoan, its that the practical usefulness of the internet will only continue to get more and more narrow.
Right but how much of our daily existence is tied to the internet? Like all of our banking systems, our commerce, communications, infrastructure.
I think that functionality will contunue just fine. It's surfing that dying. They're trying to put up billboards up wherever are eyes are looking and we can't even see what we're looking for anymore. AI is just a "smarter" billboard. Eventually we're just going to stop looking.
Yup. The Internet used to be the yellow pages. Now it's turning into an offramp.
Speak for yourself. The internet has been a great place imo, at least partly.
We got a along without antibiotics for millennia, too, but I wouldn't want to lose access to them.
