EPISODE 55 | The Dead Internet Theory
Weirdly similar but also somewhat nonsensical tweets, emails that seem written by bots, the same posts showing up again and again - something seems to be amiss with the internet. And some people think they have found the answer: the internet died a few years ago and is now almost entirely run by sophisticated AI bots. This is the Dead Internet Theory.
We'll look at the reasoning behind this notion, a timeline of events that includes some creepy real-world DARPA projects, the state of AI and computer-brain interfaces, and a peek at the (possibly) approaching Singularity - when humans and machines will essentially blend into one thing.
Special shoutout to Gerd Altmann, who made most of the images use din the video version of this episode and made them available on Pixabay.
