@edk @anildash @noahshachtman In a sense, I can't help but think that the promise of GenAI is *the opposite* of that of the old Web. The dotcom dream was one of perfectly connecting people to each other - in retrospect, that dream was easy to corrupt; install yourself as a middleman between all those connected people, and you have a surveillance empire.

The GenAI dream comes pre-corrupted: It's the dream of perfectly alienating people from each other.
