One constant in our ongoing civilization is a continuous branching of complexity. Assuming civ continues, how does your entertainment become more tailored to you as you imagine it?
Decades ago I wanted a game where a world building economy game, industry and domestic simulators, real time war strategy, and a first person shooter that bridges to an adventure/explorer were all combined into one. This is a game where all of these roles could be filled by autonomous AI characters, but where recruiting and filling roles creates dynamic complexity that is advantageous for all. Each layer of gameplay dictates the constraints of the next while interactions across layers are entertaining and engaging for all.
It does not need to be gaming. What can you imagine for entertainment with tailored complexity?
It can even be worse - pigeonhole you and only offer what it thinks your demographic wants.
My music tastes are a bit of everything, but I listened to a bit of classic rock and now it only wants to give me that and conservative podcasts
I started watching YouTube recently but it really seems to have pigeonholed me very differently than what I’ve followed
I might want to read a bunch of Sherlock Holmes stories in a row. It’s going to take the algorithm years to realize that was a one time binge.
