How and Why to Disappear from the Attention Economy

Writer writing on an attention platform to brag about themselves and how they no longer care about attention.<p>Plus some of the most annoying AI-generated images you’ll ever see. Just wrong enough to make you waste the few seconds it takes to ask “is it? Is it real?”<p>If you want to see someone unironically being ironic, definitely click.

AI images, written by an AI (likely ChatGPT), posted by an account whose last post was in 2021 (except for 2 recent submissions of this same blog within the last week).<p>I really hope that HackerNews won&#x27;t go the way of Facebook and everything else, completely overrun by bots.

Written in the ai voice. AI images. The substack “blog” is a few days old. If the story itself isn’t a total fabrication that just wouldn’t make sense.

Feels kinda ironic reading this on Substack after getting published to a link aggregator. Attention for me, but not for thee...?

Whatever happened to just vibing in the moment without a thought in the world? Just let it happen.

related to the attention economy and provides the economic analysis: the book by Yanis Varoufakis &quot;Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodreads.com&#x2F;book&#x2F;show&#x2F;75560036-technofeudalism" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.goodreads.com&#x2F;book&#x2F;show&#x2F;75560036-technofeudalism</a>

I thought this was a ai transformer thing. Lol
