Blogging in AI times.

This is the initial post of this blog, a piece of content crafted by a human, in the middle of the beginning of AI being deployed to everyone's life. It's good stuff in some way. But, you can start seeing the ai driven decay in quality of content increase on a daily basis across digital platforms. Facebook kinda died for a generation, but it still is relevant somehow. If I close my personal facebook account, I will have a tendency to believe everyone is doing it. Yet, some people are still using it, for different reasons. Facebook was a fire that turned on in Latin American's computers before smartphone revolution took place. For me, it is a no-return uninstallation from my device. If I have to use it, its because a social login initiated one decade ago. Instagram is heading the same direction and X is in the same situation, yet with a differentiator that has deep implications in relation with AI. Quality of content decays, violence raises, Ads become every day more illegal, yeah... even ads seem to be massively bot-driven and not to offer legal goods or services, but prostitution, counterfeit money,  fake drugs or real drugs, casino scams, onlyfans sites, etc. It's really going down. I tweet very rarely. Last 10 tweets were liked by clearly barely naked horny bots... and that, sucks. I understand, I post a tweet once every 2 years. But... the feeling of decay is so strong, its quite discouraging for a regular person to interact in such an environment. So basically, the dodgyness of Telegram is leaking to other social networks without any restriction. If I'm being offered fake money (this is funny, but at some point you need to explain why you get this type of ads in instagram and I think, I understand why. Recently I watched a few reels of Flipper zero, which could have grouped with the lads that could be interested in something like that? I just don't want to think how this algo makes his choices. I have the feeling that social networks have been left abandoned to the wild where most participants feel like either trolls or bots. Just take a look at how many "emblematic" political accounts on X, and the structure of the content you scroll, it's a sea of spam where you find a human after a lot of spam and ads, which in a lot of cases are scams. That's the internet today. For that reason today I opened a blog.  It just feels like a punk rock fanzine made of black and white photocopies, and act of rebellion, a claim of a space to leave my voice where I'm not surrounded by that I have just described.

Now I can be targeted by AI bots, scrappers, I might even feed an AI, and that's why, makes more sense to put this here than in those decaying addictive shit-holes social media networks have become. 

Jokes aside, see you on X.
