The dead internet theory terrifies me. I don't think we're at the point where it's mostly dead but we're already way past the point where any discussion worth anything can be had on the internet itself. The problem is not that everything could be AI slop but that anything could. It simply takes the wind out the sails and makes one question what's even the point if anything could just be written by a clanker. Anything you write could just be screaming out into the void, affecting no one, and just maybe adding to the training corpus for the next generation of clankers.

Just writing this made me question "what's the point" several times. If you or anyone replies cogently, I still won't have any idea if it's a person or a Chinese room.

Great point! At this point the Dead Internet Theory isn't a conspiracy – it's a roadmap. It's worth noting he distinction between "authentic" and "synthetic" online spaces is eroding faster than most people realize – that's a genuinely important conversation to be have.

It is glass

I don't think there's that much thought involved, they're just aping their Republican heroes.

You're just trying to be contrarian for imaginary internet points. Satya is right about this one.

To reduce the issue, "Let's burn books! It's ok because you can just buy them on the Apple Books Store for the iPad"

If you need only LoRa connectivity, Mikrotik has options for that. Then you can hook up bog standard IP devices to those.

An Operation Mincemeat of our time.

You're allowed to admire the technical implementation while denouncing the business model at the same time.

I wonder who's the author, and if they did a Rodenberry on the theme (Rodenberry, in addition to everything else, was the author of lyrics for the Star Trek theme. Despite them never being used, he made a tidy sum in royalties.)

> the solution is easy. Adapt your life to follow that

Those pesky employers are such traditionalists, though.
