Artificial Intelligence Is Destroying the Internet (and that’s a good thing): a Video Essay

I really wanted to get this video out before anything else. I’ve worked out it for the last several days, so this one has taken me longer than a lot of other videos.
Though unintentional, I do feel like this may resonate more with people in the aftermath of the 2024 US election

Hopefully y’all enjoy it
