I think we’ll be in bad shape when you can’t trust any opinions about products, media, politics, etc. Sure, shills currently exists, so everything you read already needs skepticism. But at some point bots will be able to flood very high quality posts. But these will of course be lies to push a product or ideology. The truth will be noise.

I do think this is inevitable, and the only real guard would be to move back to smaller social circles.

My only worry is one day there will be nothing left to rewrite in Rust.
