Society often expects the general population to find work for the vast majority of the adult lives of the community, but why? As society progresses toward a digital age with greater automation, more of the repetitive tasks often traditionally performed by humans are now also identified as being outsourced to machines, and subsequently, to artificial intelligence (AI) systems. If bots continue to maintain the trajectory of defining and replacing traditional jobs, then what is next?
Introduction
The creator economy specifically relies on subscriptions and memberships to any number of online platforms, often resulting in clearer monetization in modern contexts while also allowing for a greater level of monetization in the long run. While short-term gains might be lower, the long-term return on investment can be significantly higher. And while investing may be a gamble and often keeps many in the community “middle-class,” a class that is quickly fading into obscurity, the stigma surrounding investments is directly resulting in the harmful consequences of modern society, such as significant amounts of consumer debt and the myth of the “self-made” figures.
Age verification shall never be based on guesswork nor on artificial intelligence, since no artificial intelligence model can honestly know the age of any given person watching video on YouTube nor on any other platform. novaTopFlex detests the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to the greatest extent possible, specifically to ensure that the novaTop, geoTop, and futoTop Identities remain stable, steady, and intact.
Context
Following numerous accusations by real and imaginary people of novaTopFlex being labeled a “bot,” including from anticapitalist rants and previous blog posts (such as “Deadlines are a Capitalist Construct”), novaTopFlex has received a warning that age verification was unsuccessful, even in spite of having a known age. Artificial intelligence (AI) can never succeed nor replace human intelligence nor humanity in any way.
Over the past few generations in particular, the vast majority of our global communities have been built in increasingly hostile manners, resulting in forced obligation and surveillance mechanisms across the various machines that power our modern society. Unfortunately, with the recent boom of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions and a moral panic around AI, I have increasingly identified such change as evidence of a crisis, and I have also been muted or even banned from certain communities over concerns of being a large language model (LLM). Sometimes, I even identify myself as a bot online, as I remain faceless on applications and social media/networking platforms across the board, and even some of my reactions and sensitivities match bot-like sensitivities. Notwithstanding the artificial intelligence (AI) epidemic, I am also afraid to speak up about being a victim of numerous additional crises, even when the overall cultural situation seems to be improving depending on the various perspectives on society. Such crises of concern to me are often the most particularly isolating crises regarding society and stereotypical expectations, since I have recently switched to free-and-open-source-software (FOSS, sometimes with “libre” as FLOSS). Over my journey as an everyday user of Linux-based systems, I have shifted my identity in directions away from the predominating lifestyle and often stereotypical norms and the prevailing expectations and toward the influences that actually matter the most in society, despite significant pushback.
Is Outreach Possible?
Unfortunately, modern society and the current systems intact tend to encourage partial definitions of “health” and “well-being” that fail to cover the true definitions of both terms in a literal sense. Because of our modern dystopian environment, in-person locations for such outreach are currently few and far in between, with virtually zero meaningful sense of hope for the future. However, though online cannot replace in-person outreach, there can be hope for the future, not against loneliness (unfortunately), but against feelings of selfishness and potentially unfair comparisons that may result from unfair advantages and disadvantages in circles in society. But even then, the risk of unfair comparisons is (mostly) only present when the services being utilized are proprietary and thus unethical.
