"You now have access to the collective knowledge of the entire world."
"Nah, let me see the boobies!"
That's where it starts. Then once they find Wikipedia, it'll be a game changer.
it might be the pessimist in me, or it might be the reality we're living in
but if sheer access to Wikipedia cured you out of being a cultist- i don't think there'd be that many trump supporters
Facts don't cure stupid... Sadly
My mom believes that Wikipedia is "influenced and censored." She didn't like Fargo when my uncle tricked her into watching it, so claimed that the Wikipedia article describing its awards (7 Oscar noms, 2 wins, etc.) were part of the demon-influenced liberal agenda.
So no, Wikipedia doesn't cure cultism.
*facts don't cure...
There's a difference between a cultist living thru the growth of the Internet and social media. It's another when you have people completely cut off from the vast majority of the world and information for the last few decades.
arguably that could even be more difficult. I'm pretty sure in South Korea they have to keep North Korean escapees separated from everyone else for a few months as they introduce them to technology, re-reeducate them, and teach them how to live in a regular society.
The culture shock and sudden information overflow can easily cause someone to shut off and refuse to take anything new in
A surprising amount of technological development is for pornography. Video-casettes won out because pornography used them over laserdisc or betamax.
I think you meant VHS won out. Betamax was also a video cassette format.
And yes, porn had a lot to do with why VHS won!
VHS beat betamax because porn, dvd beat laserdisc because porn, streaming beat physical because porn.
And secure online payments.
As is tradition dating back to cave paintings.
this is pretty much the most common response to AI as well
Well with ai your choice is deeply flawed knowledge from a system that can't recognise it's own mistakes or semi-convincing generated pictures. It does one of these significantly better.
