Tried looking up the average height of one story of a building, in the current era of the internet.

I wonder if this is what having a stroke feels like.

Visions of a future unfold before me, vast and terrible...
Of all the AI apocalypses I imagined bringing ruin onto us all as a kid, Information Kessler Syndrome was never one of 'em.

@danana_dread "Information Kessler Syndrome" is so perfectly on point. I'd expand on it but there is literally nothing more to be said.

Looking it up, this term seems endemic to the fediverse. Why. How. These three words hold a thesis worth of discourse. The world needs to know.

@nathan Yeah, the term just kinda occurred to me.

Watching Large Language Models slowly ruin the internet just puts me in the mind of Starlink, and how mad I get about all the damage it's already doing to astronomy, and the risk of a single accident with it making everything in orbit so much worse.

You're welcome to use it. Seems people resonated with it, haha.
