at the very least… vote for your best interests. even better, just vote for your best self-interests. but please be informed. it seriously seriously sucks that disinformation and misinformation is constantly rampant. intentional work to dissuade the masses from voting for their self-interests is such a cruel reality. and it’s really just going to get so much worse with AI. so, so, so much worse i’d imagine. while AI has the potential the better inform individuals by allowing for the digestion of technical and legal documents, its ability to create propaganda and fake media indiscernible from reality is terrifyingly unprecendented and genuine existential threat to an informed democracy. i used to view the future as a place of hope, unity, humanitarian advancement, and limitless potential. now, i fear that perspective is simply considered childish naivety… isn’t that just such a shame?
