The Internet was dismantled as a space for humanity, first by the loss of community binding through person-to-person trust and group dynamics -
blame blockchain/cryptocurrencies, but they are just one symptom of the alienation, that built environments like cities, then suburbs, then oneline social media and the web finally perfected.
As with crypto-currencies, so with AI, but this was foreseen by Mbemebe in the analysis in the great book on Necropolitics
I was the Son of Sam, I contain multitudes, Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.
As with commons, land was enclosed, by Barons, by Kings, by Nation States - to keep people outbut camps and campfirewalls to keep people and ideas in and so with trade agreements, and the flow of information and knowledge, and so with the Interweb.
The Zombie Apocalypse is here and it is AI Voodoo, just as Neuromancer pressaged. And the zombies are the camp police. And we are interned. stoned. maculate, and soon not even dead.
p.s. a little machine learning is a dangerous thing...
