>I think you should buy the North American version of TikTok if the opportunity presents itself. The future of short videos will be heavily AI generated/assisted.

I will have whatever you're smoking. If a social media platform literally proves the dead internet theory, it's not making any money.

Low effort input. Low effort consumption. What a depressing vision of the suture. This is why I don't use social media.

I actually believe we are speed running into this. I have seen way too many people watching AI generated videos and scrolling through them.

  • The main problem, I think, is that if your stuff is by robots, for robots, you have no advertising leverage.

    I think advertisers are fairly stupid and maybe don't realize that most eyes on their ads aren't eyes at all, and couldn't buy a hair dryer even if they wanted, because they have no hair. How Facebook is still a desirable advertising platform is beyond me.
