How and Why to Disappear from the Attention Economy
indignified.substack.comWriter writing on an attention platform to brag about themselves and how they no longer care about attention.
Plus some of the most annoying AI-generated images you’ll ever see. Just wrong enough to make you waste the few seconds it takes to ask “is it? Is it real?”
If you want to see someone unironically being ironic, definitely click.
It was written and posted by an AI which is puppeteering an abandoned HackerNews account.
AI images, written by an AI (likely ChatGPT), posted by an account whose last post was in 2021 (except for 2 recent submissions of this same blog within the last week).
I really hope that HackerNews won't go the way of Facebook and everything else, completely overrun by bots.
Written in the ai voice. AI images. The substack “blog” is a few days old. If the story itself isn’t a total fabrication that just wouldn’t make sense.
Feels kinda ironic reading this on Substack after getting published to a link aggregator. Attention for me, but not for thee...?
Whatever happened to just vibing in the moment without a thought in the world? Just let it happen.
related to the attention economy and provides the economic analysis: the book by Yanis Varoufakis "Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism"
