oh arirang summer we will talk about you for years to come <3

They took memory cards from us and made us pay for storage. They took CDs and DVDs and made us pay for streaming. They took software you could buy once and turned it into a monthly subscription. They took ownership, convenience, and basically everything that used to be a one-time purchase… then somehow made us pay for it every month.

Gen Z will never understand how weird and fun the internet used to be. We had personal websites, obscure forums, experimental pages, and bizarre corners of the web. Then Google, Amazon, and Meta turned it into an algorithmic shopping mall packed with ads and commerce.

There will be an illiterate generation with zero attention span in the next 10 years. People will become more informed about everything but lack any depth of knowledge they won’t even have surface-level knowledge. With zero attention spans, it becomes very hard to explain things. Thanks to social media. The next pandemic is Brainrot.

Y’all aren’t listening: data centers are killing bees. Every third thing you eat? Bees made that possible. They are way more important than any fancy AI or server room we keep prioritizing.

[Eden Dranger @Eden_Eats]

I don’t want an AI overview, just give me the Google results!

[pokey pup @Whatapityonyou]

I deeply miss the world before AI existed. I’m so exhausted from side eyeing videos, recoiling at tacky fonts, sepia tinted art, the messy blobs and blips of unmatched colors. It’s slowly sucking all the creative life out of the world while it physically destroys it.

[ຸ @fvckfemi_]

the world was fine without ai

[Big Timi @OrevaZSN]

So if I purchase a DVD and digitize it, that’s copyright infringement. But if an AI company buys my book and scans it to train their system, that’s perfectly fine? Once again, corporations are allowed to play by their own rules. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.

[liz @lizzydeww]

these data centers are killing the earth at an extremely fast rate but we got people using AI to make dumbass pictures and grocery lists. i’m tired

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

[Pogman @JanPogman2]

At what point do we stop talking about "potential collapse" and start admitting that we're living through the early stages of a bronze age systems collapse

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

Hey. So. The people that scan rare antique books and destroy them are the bad guys in every dystopian story. Just FYI.

[SpinningPlumbobs @sp_creates]

How is anyone entertained by AI? The most compelling part of art, movies, music, etc. is the humanity behind it. Why would I ever be impressed by something that took no human effort or creativity? It’s all just computer excrement.

[Karim Wafa-Al Hussaini @DrKarimWafa]

The system wants you overstimulated, under-rested, anxious and isolated. That is why slowing down and resting is seen as such a threat, because capitalism thrives on keeping you on the move and drained.

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

It’s people who boast of never reading a book who should feel shamed, not the ones who read. The fact that in today’s society, reading is deemed more embarrassing than not reading says everything about how far we’ve declined, culturally and intellectually.

[pizza mert 🍕 @pizza990]

It blows my mind that while individuals are considered criminals for pirating something they can't even access with money governments permit AI companies to use all of humanity's copyrighted intellectual heritage from everywhere without paying a dime and to profit by stealing

[Climate Dad @ClimateDad77]

If future historians exist (& that’s a pretty precarious IF) they’ll write endlessly about the psychological conditioning that left BILLIONS of people feeling ‘powerless’ when a handful of elite psychopaths decided to trade a liveable planet for a bit more meaningless wealth.
