They think that AI creates conditions that will force humans to use their real IDs. Instead, it will create conditions that people will go offline.

I hear much more complaints about surveillance and tracking from Gen-Z than from Millenials. People are waking up.

Google already requires you to have a smartphone to create an account, because they want you to scan a QR code even when creating the account on a PC. It will get worse.

The solution is not to use YouTube but Rumble instead.

I would really like to see a renaissance of in-person activities. I think a big hurdle to this though is the lack of a 3rd place for communities to exist. Parks are nice in the summer but less ideal in the winter (and not available in all neighborhoods). Town squares are also more hostile to "loiterers" (no data to back this just feelingss).

Overall I think if we want to see a resurgence of IRL, we need the social support of our governing bodies which imo is a large hill to climb.

I really hope you're right.
