We have enough of a long view now to understand how much of the Silicon Valley "disruption" ethic was about destroying existing economic infrastructure, not about creating something new or better.
I think about this ALL the time with Lyft and Uber and the dead cab industry.

been thinking about this a lot. journalism, books, music, and film industries, all severely damaged or destroyed by Big Tech “innovation”
I think the story of media, particularly online media, in the last couple decades is basically “market becomes more efficient, society realizes inefficiency was load bearing ”

Gaiman: if you are in fact, the real terry pratchett
Gaiman: and not an imposter
Gaiman: like the imposter sandman hector hall in The Sandman, vol. 2: The Doll's House
Gaiman: then you won't have any trouble telling a joke
Pratchett: [sweats] ein witz? du magst ein witz?

It's a bizarre Silicon Valley / venture capital obsession, because, by the actual numbers, audiences gobble up stuff that's far from their own experience. Squid Game, Money Heist, and other non-U.S., non-English movies/shows do incredibly well on U.S. Netflix.
I can’t even begin to comprehend the interior life of someone with the hubris and limited imagination necessary to only want to see art and media that originated within their own mind. It’s so solipsistic and arrogant while also misunderstanding the entire purpose of great art
I’m increasingly fascinated with how the idea of no longer having a shared universe of meaning with any other human beings has become the rallying vision for a utopian future among AI proponents. What does this mean?
