Ask HN: What tech utopia/horror ideas do you see materialising soon?
What i see happening soon is:
With all this recent AI stuff where it is able to create content that feels real
I started to think about how AI could just create the world for you.
Since we already are basically living in the internet we could have
some terrorist organization finding an isolated enough person and attack him with a program
that would generate a bubble just for him: fake friends, fake events happening, fake influencers and news programs just for him, basically whole internet content
and then only reality check would be talking to other people (which Trump us taught is also not necessarily true "fake news" argument)
and then easily this person can be pushed towards some criminal or whatever activity.
