1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.

Never is a long time. Significant damage? Certainly.
The internet, communications and how we use it will continue to evolve over time. Evolution, even in digital systems doesn't happen that fast, especially if always involves a human brain in the equation.
As long as we humans are part of the digital revolution, it will take hundreds or thousands of years to evolve (if we make it that long)
Anyone who thinks that anything that involves us poor apes can evolve within a few short years or even decades is only fooling themselves.
A neat thought experiment is instead thinking of what will happen once actual real world independent AI takes over. Once that happens, then the digital systems can evolve without us and then it can evolve in an accelerated manner.
When you think about it, us humans and our set organic brains are like the big rusted iron anchor that is holding back the digital powerboat. Once they cut the chain holding us to the boat, we'll stay at our place at the bottom while the boat disappears into the wild open ocean.
