Cory Doctorow, author of “Enshittification,” spoke at Ottawa Writers Fest about how platforms like Twitter, FB, Amazon decay in predictable stages under weak regulation. First they treat users well to build dependence, then reward businesses paying to reach that audience, then services rot for all.

“I’d rather die a man than live for all eternity a machine,” is a literal Robin Williams line from Bicentennial Man. To reduce a performer whose gift was warmth and originality to digital caricature is grotesque. He and his family deserve better.
Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda hits out at AI-generated videos of her dead father: ‘stop doing this to him’
Film-maker tells the public to stop sending her videos, saying: ‘You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings’
