I just had a tangential thought, but what if... AI completely recreated their own version of the internet from scratch? And that's what the internet eventually becomes.

In the future I imagine we won't even visit websites anymore. We'll tell our own LLMs to visit the website and summarise it with information the LLM knows is relevant to us.

I hate how this is described as a social media ban. It's a social media delay.

How did they do it back in the day? Was basically everything from the tooling etc. just created inhouse from scratch?

I think the "nothing I can do will change anything" is actually a predominant theme that's emerged over the past decade. I don't know if you've watched any of Adam Curtis' documentaries, but his documentary HyperNormalisation explores this in great detail (most of this documentaries have a similar theme I've found).

Edit: Apologies, I think I mean his documentary: Can't Get You Out of My Head. Essentially it asserts that all revolutions fail, because the people who attempt to overthrow simply become the new guard.

Does this exclude Australia?

This comment is completely ignorant of at least the past 80+ years of Middle East history.

When I was a lot younger I built a very big and complex platform with Phoenix. Although it was a technical marvel, it's one of my big regrets as far as the tech stack I went with, because it's now useless for my actual work now a decade later.

In retrospect, I wish I had built it with C#/.NET

The technical term for what you're broadly describing is Jevons Paradox.

Which debrid service do you use?

Not to justify this, but is this possibly the reason why those opportunities existed?

Of course. But obviously I wouldn't be referring to those other types of autism in this case. Why would I?

I think you're also forgetting the other aspect that allows this which is having readily available public transport.
