Such a bizarre sentiment the web and internet as we know/knew them is some bastion of freedom and future for humanity.

According to the author AI is 99% hype.

That 1% of AI utility can unlock more for humanity than 99.999% of blogs; static text hosted from a laptop in a closet.

Odd ball position that cheap publishing via the web is a path to The Next Generation for humanity is 100% hype.

Other than feeding dopamine addiction humanity has not improved greatly since we read all those insipid posts on GeoCities no one remembers today.

It's all been 99%+ hype to feed Wall Street. Young GenX and older Millennials with tech jobs were temporary political pawns and gonna end up bag holders like may older GenXers and Boomers who lived through the car boom, the housing boom, the retail boom.

Same old human shit, different hype.
