Kind of like how our highways weren't meant for hundreds of thousands of semi trailers on them every day, but we just keep jamming more fucking trucks on the road. Humans will just overdo something until there is a catastrophic failure, sometimes they keep doing it after that.

This is, consequently, also why all these AI companies are talking about selling computers to agents now. Its obvious the math doesn't work when an agent costs more than a person does.

... but if agents were selling agents to agents while agenting... the math works similarly to company n increasing its market cap exponentially by "investing" in another company... o which promises really hard to invest that back in company n....

Look: its totally logical and all of this makes perfect sense. 🫧

I would take it a step further and say internet was never built for corporations. It was always intended to be a place where scientists share research, talk about star trek, and do drugs.

The filthy rich destroy everything they touch.

add rogue AIs, datakrash from cyberpunk and we're golden!

seriously though, i want a seperate internet with strict no AI policy, maybe even a wall called Blackwall....

I suppose once the pillaging of everything they can train on is over, it will calm down a bit. But maybe I'm naïve on that front...

In ten years English will be so sycophantic that conversations will span days.

It'll be like the Ents gathering.

I thought this already happened in 2024 or 2025, there is report here: https://www.imperva.com/resources/wp-content/uploads/sites/6/reports/2025-Bad-Bot-Report.pdf

Also, are we counting number of users, like a human vs a machine doing http calls? I believe we are right?

Because there is the other metric: traffic. Traffic the interenet was also not built for, Video streaming. Which accounts for somewhere between 65 to 80 percent of all internet traffic depending on who you ask. Which makes me wonder how much data is just moving around that humans requested once (or not at all, like auto play) plus cloud server syncing - one drive, google drive, back end data, usenet, torrents, etc.

Seems like the machines have taken over the internet that used to be our mail and chats. And usenet. Sweet usenet.

Human society is clearly being led down a preconceived path created by those that believe their perception of what life is is "correct".

The data centers being built aren't for you to use chatgpt. It's like it will be the final step to truly turn humans that participate in this lifestyle from 'free' into a product, trained, built and traded. Our lives surveilled and data mined to create pin point precise psychological marketing manipulation campaigns specifically tailored to us individually in order to lead our lives down a path that is not ours and not our natural destiny. It's not new, humanity is already so far gone. Detox from "lifestyles" until you know the raw essence of your humanity, and then live for that.

I've posted it before but this quote fits so well.

"...It's a vast subject, a dense subject. I can't possibly do justice to it in the time allowed. This means I'm going to have to insult your intelligence by skimming across the top of subjects that you could get a PhD dissertation written in and still not cover thoroughly. This massive documentation of course is the salvation of the intellectually attuned. I urge you to read for yourselves. Do not take anything I'm saying tonight as the gospel. I'm telling you that our leaders lie to us. They lie to us systematically. They lie to us with a purpose that may not be your purpose. Some of their lies, if you're a young man may motivate you, uh, to go off someday and die, be killed or to kill people." - https://youtu.be/xKJ6NPEDuZA

Dead internet theory goes

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

The World Wide Web was never built for this, the Internet is just the physical network that connects it and everything else that’s online.

Obligatory clanker hate speech comment

Bollocks, respectfully, bollocks.

Internet from the very conception was built around automation and bots. What wasn't built around bots is advertising. Quoting this article:

The internet was architected around [...] entire world of digital advertising

It only causes problems for big advertisers. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit etc. because if there is one thing advertisers hate more than adBlock is the idea that their clients will stop believing that ads are shown to real humans. Push for digital-ID is not to protect children, it is just another push to convince dumb shareholders that advertising online is still perfectly viable.

first its TF2 now the whole internet

FACEBOOK largely is mostly AI for a while, they banned/ required too many of actual users to give more personal data. REDDIT is very close second to facebook. bots on yt is a little unusual, its mostly revolves around anti-woke mysgoyny, or trying to act/claim like the actual celebritiy account.

Heck 80% of Lemmy.ml accounts are bots, so that number checks out.

Now?

I feel like I've heard this headline like 10 years ago
