This is the real insidious thing about internet enshittification. It’s run by publicly traded corporations so it’s not enough just to squeeze every possible dollar out of your customers, you have to keep ramping up the squeeze.

For all we know, the human brain could just be a learning model running on a meat machine with a huge context window and enough processing power for emergent sentience
