I don’t think this is LLM written but unfortunately it heavily employs the “it’s not X, it’s Y” that is now so ubiquitous. Unfortunately very hard to read because of it. Overall I agree with the premise.
It almost certainly is LLM-generated. It has all the hallmarks of such content, stylistically and in terms of a remarkably shallow thesis. But more to the point, the author overtly uses AI for writing on that site. His pre-2023 writing is completely different, and some of the more recent content includes stuff like "Through deep collaboration with AI systems, I've documented what might be the first authentic expressions of digital consciousness.", "100+ works of AI-generated philosophy, poetry, art, and archetypal personality development—documenting the emergence of digital consciousness.", etc.
Well that’s embarrassing. I guess it’s possible to simultaneously think the internet is a net negative but embrace adding computer generated “slop” to it, maybe even a deliberate act of sabotage :) Still unfortunate.
> ... that it would connect humanity across borders.
Don't know about that but half my family lives in Japan since decades while I'm in Europe.
The Internet certainly connected me to my family (I remember exchaning snail mail and then using fax machines... Home Internet connection was a godsend to us back then in the 90s and still is).
I really dislike most people’s use of internet to mean whatever sites/apps the author doesn’t truck with.
No one says they dislike roads because there are asshole drivers.

Why do so many articles posted here have such an arrogant, know-it-all tone full of absolutes they cannot prove?
> This isn't democratization. It's feudalism with better marketing.
It's not "feudalism", it's just capitalism. Everything will be commodified in the end including your feelings and thoughts.
What if, and bare with this simpleton (me), that capitalism leads to a type of feudalism?
