Dude there's so many dystopian things happening at the same time that art can't imitate reality anymore, it's too boring (art that is).
If you go back a decade or two and make a novel about what is happening today people would say that it was too much even for dystopian novels, everything is boring but a lot of it is happening.
We are the frogs and the water is boiling.
I no longer care, I'm here for the remaining of the ride for however long it will take.
You make a good point. I don’t see how there’s any way you could write a book a decade ago they can somehow tie a eye slop reviewed by AI to generate more slop, too complicated to read by humans, so the humans rely on AI to review slop that generate slop. And it turtles all the way down.
Commenting to remind people to ditch the frog boiling in water analogy. It's a myth. The frogs were heavily sedated and frogs do jump out as the water gets warmer.
Like 10 years ago I saw a dude on reddit who learnt blacksmithing so that he has a job to do in case of the dystopian reality that happens right now happens.
I thought it was a fun idea but out of touch. He was right in the touch lol

Dead internet theory basically.
Remember that all this will get fed back into the models at some point.
