As remote surveying of our attention becomes ubiquitous and available to commercial entities, we are at risk of turning into a zombie state. I am not against people staring at their phones for as long as they like. It is a free world. But the marketing execs of the propaganda arms of big tech are just getting better and better at feeding our phones with things that they know from experience will grab our attention. As they continue to get better at it, so we are drawn in. That is how they make money. This might be convenient, and even fun, for us, but it is not healthy. Over time, is very bad for our mental health. Life is not entertainment. When fed only entertainment, we become emotionally poor, not rich. Contemplation time is suffering. Suffering time is suffering. If the assetization of our attention continues at the current rate, we will forget how to broaden our thinking. Ironically, the very AIs that continue optimize our attention are continuing to broaden their own general intelligence, as we narrow ours. Where is this all headed? How do we balance regulation and the free market in this space? There is a powerful lobby group that is opposed to regulating AI at all, that is growing by the day. They say we may actually need AI solutions to extricate ourselves from other societal problems of our own making. They might even be right. But that is another topic. For now, it is each for themselves. All we can do is our very best to scroll a little less.
