Our future where everybody second guesses reality

We may already be there. With AI slop everywhere and AI technology getting better and better by the nanosecond we will be living in a future where nothing can be trusted unless the events unfold right before our eyes. Nobody trusts news agencies anymore. Nobody trusts politicians, nobody trusts video evidence or photo evidence. Politicians like Slobby T will just manufacture their own truths. Wasn't it Karl Rove that said that they make their own reality. Turd Blossom. Selective reality, selective truths, selective facts. The ultimate nihilistic dream where nothing is real. Where corporations and oligarchs can do what they want because everybody is too distracted and nobody knows what's real. Conspiracy theories reign! My hope is that this forces people to stop doom scrolling and put their phones down or out right throw them in the garbage where they belong.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
