You are on the fediverse, which means you already know the centralized web is drowning in AI slop. The algorithmic internet is collapsing under its own weight. I wrote a field guide to navigating the "Slop Economy" and how we survive the death of the useful web.

A third of new websites are AI-Generated.

and maybe its nicer than we are?

"AI was making the internet less semantically diverse and more positive overall, but it wasn’t causing a proliferation in lies or cutting out its sources.”

Study Finds A Third of New Websites are AI-Generated

Researchers found the internet is becoming aggressively positive as AI-generated text floods the web.

A memorial to the messengers, social networks, browsers and websites the internet forgot.

Everyone I know has no idea how to save a bookmark/shortcut of a website. Or that the concept even exists.

It even took me a while to navigate all the different ways using different browsers.

Google provides us with CAPTCHAs (which annoy us all) as well as the #AI that could click them away. So why not combine the two?

Warum hängen wir eigentlich noch in dieser algorithmischen Hölle fest? 🧟‍♂️

Hab heute „aus Gaudi“ mal wieder Instagram geöffnet und bin einfach nur erschreckt. Der Sog ist real, obwohl der Content zu 80 % aus absolutem Müll besteht. Zwischen den ein, zwei lustigen Reels von Kumpels lauert nur noch KI-Slop, Bots und blanker Hass – von Selbstverletzung bis zu KI-generiertem Scheiß ist alles dabei. Es ist irre, wie man sich davon trotzdem in den Bann ziehen lassen kann. Wenn die Plattformen nicht aufpassen, schaffen sie sich durch diesen Schrott selbst ab.

Habt ihr den Absprung schon voll geschafft oder schaut ihr auch noch manchmal fassungslos in diesen Abgrund?

I still see new signups to Threads, but literally 90% of the accounts are DEAD.

There's a plethora of AI generated posts, personas as well as general fear mongering about stuff that's clearly stupid, and not true.

The Epstein Files and general conspiracy theory batshit is the stuff that's most prominent over there, if I am to ignore the AI generated women that are clearly looking for sexual attention.

Dead internet theory in action on r/PrintSF: "In the last month or so, there have been several weird posts on this subreddit about Ursula Le Guin..."

The internet used to be a place where you could search for anything, and there was always someone who was obsession-posting their encyclopedic knowledge for anyone willing to listen.

I’m currently looking for some reference images. More than 80% of the images are AI-generated. So I change the minimum size to >4 MP. Now 30% are upscaled AI images and 25% are badly upscaled photos.

The internet is now just there to trick me into clicking. I hate it here.
