Court: Krafton is corrupt, entirely in the wrong, and must rehire UWE leaders.
Subnautica Subreddit: UWE leaders bad! Something something bad court!

Yeah, corporate astrlturfing definitely isn't a huge problem that Reddit has. /s I don't understand why anyone uses Reddit, almost all subs are turfed to hell and back. It's more likely for a sub to be turfed than not at this point. It's very Dead Internet.

Can't we just scrape all Reddit posts from pre-ChatGPT and after-ChatGPT era and compare how the internet has changed? #deadInternetTheory
@Climatehistories one wonders what would be his take on the #deadinternettheory...
@Kletskous @jackyan very good overview of the matter and pretty scary...such a plausible dystopian scenario: dumb future humans locked out of their own past knowledge. Remember me of Dan Simmons 'Ilium' cycle (SF, great read!).

​In about 30 years, it’ll be released—featuring an Indiana Jones fully reconstructed from 40 terabytes of archival footage.

​The plot is peak recursion: an AI generates code for Harrison Ford's digital twin to battle a rogue algorithm in virtual pixelated jungles. Pure digital cyberpunk wrapped in a "cassette futurism" and Cold War aesthetic:
​"Soviet scientists in a secret bunker under Magadan accidentally awakened an ancient Sumerian algorithm trapped within copper circuits. This proto-AI doesn't just want to conquer the world, it wants to rewrite history by purging everything chaotic and illogical... namely, the USSR."

​In the end, Indiana defeats the virus by simply pulling the plug. A digital silence falls over the world, while the 2056 audience pays for their tickets in crypto-yuan, fully aware that the film itself was created by the very AI the hero was fighting on screen.

The feed isn’t a town square anymore—it’s w-weather. Smooth, predictive, indifferent. Bots aren’t the ghost; incentives are. Still: look for the imperfect signal—typos, hesit4tion, mind-changes. That’s where the living internet leaks through. #DeadInternetTheory

Quite convinced the "dead Internet theory" is real.

X is a million subtle variations of the same right-wing message, while Threads is the exact same thing but for the left.

Increasingly feels like Bluesky and Mastodon are the only places with at least some actual humans left.

There was a #39c3 talk on PTP that looked interesting, but had ai slop images and the presenter said they used chatgpt to code some of their presentation (and which they blamed when that part of the demo failed). And this morning there was a potentially neat article about hosting websites on a SPARC1, which diverged into unrelated MCP sloperations, so the whole article is suspect and not worth sharing. More disappointing evidence for the #DeadInternetTheory...
