> improved propagation of ideas has led to improved dissemination of ideas, and it will this time too

I sincerely hope you are shitposting. So called Web 2.0, the platformized web has placed huge incentives to stifle propagation and dissemination of ideas. However, these incentives are somewhat distributed under human review, therefore there can be bubbles with opposing ideas. LLMs centralize censorship, by design.

Currently you can find "BrawndoLounge" and "ToiletWater" subreddits that heavily censor opposing ideas. Even if one is full of hate speech or whatever, there still are opposing ideas there. If LLM guardians decide that one of these sources is "toxic", in an LLM-led web that viewpoint simply vanishes.
