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.
