The future of the internet could be paywalls
Another option is private communities with high trust, where you can’t get inside without someone inviting you, at the cost of losing access because of the bad behavior of the invited person.
I feel like this is probably the most likely scenario. Maybe not always necessarily invite-only, but paid accounts sites like 404media are already doing. This is definitely one aspect of AI Everything that I hadn’t really thought about before; generating more slop than there are people to read it.
I can’t think of any meaningful way to keep the bots at bay. There really are no great options.

Masahiro Sakurai expresses concern over how AI might flood the market with ‘unplayable’ games
Nowadays, so many games are described as XX-like, or games that resemble another one. In other words, the thing everyone else already wants,” he said. He emphasized the need to be original, but noted that making something truly unique can be a daunting task.
Good point; soulslike, roguelike, metroidvania… My favorite genres are all trying to be something else, and that’s definitely going to get more common the more people use AI to make their own personal takes on formats they love. Truly unique things are already hard to pull off, but I haven’t lost hope. It just makes truly creative devs and studios more valuable.

Review of Blood Mercenaries Origins (book, 2021), by Ben Wolf, ISBN 9781942462347. Finished on 19 October 2026. Rated 4 out of 5. This was the first Ben Wolf book I've read, and I enjoyed it very much. It's basically four origin stories in one, setting up the rest of his Blood Mercenaries series. It grabbed my attention right away, and I binged it over a couple of weeks. I liked how different each origin story was.

💬 these words are what … 30 years old❓ … and even now so many organisations confuse them … even use them interchangeably.
