Wouldn't it be ironic if LLMs are what saves us all from our digital addictions? There's not much point in shit posting online if there's no confidence that the person you're talking to is even a person.

I mean over time I'd imagine they'll be able to tune away from the 'LLM style' chat making it even more ambiguous who is human and who is not, and at which point, I expect many of us might be forced to accept what a waste of time this all is, all the while bots 'chat' with one another.

It’s certainly a losing game. I’ve deleted most of my accounts these days. I think the future is just going to be people retreating in to instant messaging and small group chats where you have physically met the other people.

		I think governments should enforce a social network of a maximum 150 direct contacts and setup 3 independent agencies that play the role of gate keepers for content coming from outside this small network. The agencies analyze external content, if 2/3 of them approve a content, it is pass to everybody. These agencies would each employ thousands of people and paid by the government. All employees will have a mandate of 3 years maximum, managers included.

		It's been my present for about 10 years. It's wonderful. Social media damage mental health. Messages with friends don't. Group chats are borderline but I can silence them for a few hours when people start quarreling and I don't care taking part in the discussion. No infiniscroll, no addiction.

		I guess now we know why there is no social media in Star wars or star Trek It's kind of pointless in the world where it's easy to clone your way of talking and have thousands bots talking for you. It unavoidably turns into bots talking to bots
