Quoting @pluralistic on this because it reminds me of something else. From this essay: https://pluralistic.net/2026/05/27/unnecessariat/
"Billionaires and would-be billionaires are absolute suckers for this solipsistic bullshit, because they genuinely don't think other people are real. They love "effective altruism" because it counsels them to make as much money as possible, without regard to how many people they cheat, hurt, or kill…

RE: https://dair-community.social/@emilymbender/116604743635554102
There is more in this.
Reducing the importance of links means reducing links per se. And this means the only way to navigate the web is through AI-powered search engines, i.e. though a small number of gate keepers that control the web even more than they do now. Control how we see the digital world, shape digital communities, restrict us.From a Big Tech Techbro point of view we are still too free to travel though the internet. No one shall escape the Alphabet, Meta, TikTok, … commercial shopping malls and just wander around through self-hosted blogs, websites, and the Fediverse.

As a #GenX, I was part the first wave of kids who grew up with personal computers. As an IT manager and then a tech journalist for decades, I had a deep and abiding belief in the transformative power of technology as a force for societal change and improvement.
I'm away from the scene professionally, and now I deeply mistrust and actively loathe so much of it - from #enshittification to #ai to #techbro fascism.
Glad to no longer be part of that world, but genuinely terrified about it.

Always get suspicious if someone argues they want to "Save the #children "*
If they really wanted to save the children they wouldn't let get them addicted to platforms owned by #TechBro s
They wouldn't draw them into the gamified #brainwashing #machines of so-called #socialmedia
They would listen to them, spend time with them & leave them the freedom to make their own experience & mistakes
*...if it is not the last sentence in #LuXun 's Diary of a Madman
