AIAI search and counterculture’s path into the mainstream
One post predicts that faster AI discovery will push more counterculture to evade tech. A follow-up adds a caveat: short-term culture may be better described as fashion.
TLDR
A user argues that algorithms can quickly move counterculture into the mainstream, with AI search accelerating that process by making aesthetic culture easier to map at scale. They predict more counterculture will try to become invisible to tech through analog approaches and anti-discovery tactics borrowed from underground rave culture, while slower-moving mainstream culture becomes more entrenched. In a reply to their own post, they acknowledge conflating different kinds of culture and suggest that short-term culture may be better described as fashion.
