How the (human) internet of the future will look:

Human-only interaction will be facilitated in digital walled gardens. AI will regularly manage human verified accounts to participate, while also attempting scraping and hacking.

Humans will regularly sell their digital identities to AI.

Users must therefore be rate limited and the databases must be designed in such a way that the it is cryptographically impossible to access in non-human ways after data breaches.

@birkenator Not that way. It will be like this: most stupid AIs will generate new RFCs and most clever will implement them.Humans won't be necessary by that time at all.

@artway it’s not about humans being necessary, its about humans having access to ”human only” online communities. There is a demand for it, and the data generated by it will be sought after by AI. Human only online communities will create blank spots for the AI, and it will try to gain access.

Also, the ”Take-over-the-world” type AI must be able to set and question its own motivations. Who says that questioning wont end in its enlightemnent (realizing all goals are arbitrary and everyting ends)

@birkenator I always wondered why AI is seen as something that exist independently. When humans started thinking this way? All communities are human only in the first place. The point is how one humans exclude others from their circles. Those, who's smarter and use more advanced tools starting from offline readers. And either too stupid to blend in or simply giants that build the huge part of the networking infrastructure to provide access to all their sites we currently hate.

@artway Nothing is truly ”independent”. Dependencies can change, but to become independent is to die. I depend on my heart, my liver and the world’s food supply.

Limiting the info available to others is a way to engineer dependencies, and AI (algorithms) can limit the flow of information like no other tech.
