We are approaching the elastic feed age, each person has their own fine-tuned recommender systems, instead of choosing between a fediverse and twitter, you can create your own latent feed and dispose it after use. Last time people were choosing between mastodon and twitter, there wasn't an option for them to create their own feeds and platforms, considering our technological progress, this should not be an impossible exercise.
And all these "diverse" information streams come from heavily censored information silos and black boxes. There will be a three-tier information economy: The government / agencies at the top, because they collect and train on data indiscriminately; the regular consumers that are okay with / unable to escape the data pens they are shepherded in; and the outsiders, creating new content in walled gardens with often strict policies enforcing zero tolerance for AI generated content.<p>Most of what the "elastic feed" implies has been possible for a while now, for people that can program. It'll all go awry when it's introduced at scale to people to whom it'll be new. Similar to how online anonymity used to be a hard rule and now is frowned upon.
