Found this in my YouTube feed… seems the internet is being populated by people who don’t exist. It’s a set of entirely AI generated images, of young middle-eastern looking women in bathing suits.
Well in order to be immersed in the real world. I look at youtube on my TV but find their suggested algorithmic AI (Artificial Income) so simplistic, monetised/propagandised as to be little more than click bait.

I use YouTube for a few things, I sometimes look up music I like, tech reviews, and I use it to listen to certain spiritual teachers such as Eckhart Tolle, Mooji etc. I also use it to listen to Terence McKenna and Alan Watts talks which can’t easily be found elsewhere. But aside from those specific uses I rarely use the algorithm to explore, it seems to bring up a lot of what I’ve searched for in the past but it’s poor at finding stuff I’d be interested in.

I found this a really interesting critique of the processes of Big Tech, where a service starts good and cheap, and becomes large and entrenched, and then becomes noticeably poor value for customers. Enshittification, it is also called.

I saw it some time ago, and also saw Louis Theroux’s My Scientology Movie about the same time. Indeed fascinating, but also more than a little scary.
