An actress (I think Jennifer Lawrence) told an anecdote on Graham Norton's talk show in the UK. I was watching live, around 10pm UK time. I was curious to learn more, so I started googling about the story. There were no results.
But as soon as the episode ended, there were results for the search! But they're all "news" sites referencing the episode that had just finished. "news" in quotes because they all felt bot-written (this was before LLM). For me it was a surreal experience about the speed of slop...
This reminds me of a game called _We Become What We Behold_[0]. It's a short, 5 min browser-based game about news cycles and how they inform our identity and actions.
if you are critical of how technology works and have seen how deep the rabbithole does (prism was 2012, advanced AI already existed by then afterall, most household devices are smart enough to be tracking you today, and these are also deployed in public spaces..) then you can see where boundaries are being eroded and try to create your own space where this cannot reach into.
this is why i enjoy systems engineering. a way to create your own space, and say where boundaries cannot be eroded.
some software systems already attempt this. (notably Qubes OS), but more work is needed. always more work, so little time :)

I wish the normal rules of capitalization would be included in that boundaried space...
