Wild how the same people who created #ai have the audacity to say :
NOW it’s too much. #GFY for destroying the world & then seeking to continue to control the slaves. I am a slave.
We didn’t lose third places by accident.
Pattern, every time:
1. Public space exists
2. It’s underfunded
3. Labeled “mismanaged”
4. Authority steps in
5. Access tightens
6. Rebranded as “progress”
Result:
• Fewer places to belong
• More isolation
• More screens
Tech didn’t replace third places.
It benefited from their destruction.
Screens scale.
Parks don’t.
Data monetizes.
Belonging doesn’t.
