It always starts with people doing real positive-sum work and then grifters and parasites come along and ruin it. We could make advertising illegal: https://simone.org/advertising/ | ||||||||

The thing is you can’t regulate word of mouth. It just pushes the money underground, where it can’t be taxed. People will still be paid to promote things, they’ll just pass it off as their own opinion, and it’ll be more insidious. Like it or not, at least advertising now often is clearly advertising. Not always, but often. | ||||||||

Some organization prohibit advertising doing their elections. Best idea ever. USA should try it. Saves a lot money and annoying ads. | ||||||||

Or just let this LLM mania run to its conclusion, and we'll end up with two webs, one for profit for AI by AI and one where people put their shit for themselves (and don't really care what others think about it, or if they remix it, or ...). | ||||||||
