Culture grows exponentially
To fit t needs of technology
Naturally, mechanized bein
Grow bigr than soul creatin
A good intention uses tech
To grow outside of the net
If you are just a cyber man
Then the Borg is your plan
So be as Christ was and is
Why don’t you create ur biz
Fish an’ bread how do feed
Oh fulfill society’s big need
Infinite power availabl now
Become God or I tell u how
Then I be what you do obey
But ‘I’ is which pyramid say
Is this a poem and if so what’s the name and author?
Me, Victorious Phoenix. Name, I dunno, The After-effects of Perceiving and Undoing the Karmic Fetters that Bind One to the Existence-illusion Complex. I am attracting attention to my educational (f)art project God trained me for and makes me do.
Oh, so dead internet is, in fact, the plan. Wonderful.
Yeah but it happened a year earlier than planned!
Ahead of schedule you say? The shareholders will be thrilled!
*the shareholders do not use said Internet, themselves.
Typical. Fuck it up for someone other than themselves.
Yup. Followed by the AI surveillance state. The Stasi has been digitized and never sleeps!
You know, god bless the bots because they’re probably soaking up at least some surveillance watts.
except now they get useless data because they now just datamine bots, who are datamining each other.
That’s what digital ID is for! To correlate the real humans activity. The Flock video surveillance can then be linked to your real world movements along with digital currency to track your buying habits! Your phone and wireless earbuds to listen for keywords a rat you out to the government! What a wonderful utopia!
Feeling free yet?
Well since everything is so affordable I’ll happily accept this police state…

The Internet is pretty fucked, we might as well just call it and go home. Oh wait
It’s not totally dead, as the Paris catacombs are not totally dead if there are a couple of tourists
As well as unofficial “tourists”.
TIL: Turns out ReptilianCleric is the only actual human left on the Internet. Beep boop bop
Harambe was the focal point of turn of events.
Dude! We said we wouldn’t completely fuck up the Internet until next year!
Until AFTER the big AI company IPOs, eh? Well, sucks to suck
Ahem… https://www.flyingpenguin.com/cloudflare-ceo-is-lying-to-you-about-the-bot-traffic-jump/
The category Prince points to as the cause contradicts him. Agentic is tiny. What actually fills the AI bucket is training scrapers, like GPTBot and ClaudeBot, pulling text to build models, which have been climbing steadily and predate his announcement. He blamed a friendly, fast-growing sliver of agents fetching pages for people and swapped in unfriendly bulk (mass scraping for training). Why? We can guess, but that is exactly the traffic his pay-to-crawl product exists to bill.
It’s a sales pitch.
And it’s based on a lie.
that they expected it to eclipse real people AT ALL is both telling and slightly disturbing.
really show the kind misanthropic mindset a lot of these lizard people have developed at theyre position.
What he actually means is “Cloudflare is actively prioritizing bot traffic over human traffic now”
Holy shit! Who would have thought the bots would be downloading that much of porn?
Everyone, go find some indieweb sites. Reminiscent of 90s, there are minimal websites with visitor counters and guestbooks.
How, uh… how do we find them? I’m presuming Google isn’t really an option, since they drive traffic in the opposite way. Got a link to a list of them or something?
Neocities.org and theindieweb.com are good places to start.
I found some sweet places through, ironically, YouTube videos talking about dead internet and how there are people passionate abot old alive internet.
I’m guessing since they’re reminiscent of the 90s, maybe Yellow Pages?
Neocities
I haven’t tried them at all but kagi claims to focus on smaller sites first, which would more likely include what they’re referencing
Thank ya. I remember my favorite times with the internet being those when I had a list of small sites I’d check each day. I’d like to rebuild that :)
Webrings as well?
Actually yes, indie web sites do organize webrings.
Damn, that random site button really scratches the old StumbleUpon itch.
They work, but they probably shouldn’t. I use one for url shortening and I love it, whilst its sometimes a pain at the same time.
Wasn’t this already said about a decade ago.
yeah I honestly thought this point was reached long ago.
I need to make craigslist for bots
Our timeline’s Rache Bartmoss is bound to act sooner or later.
I wonder what happens when the bots are just hitting other bots. Bots leaving comments on bot sites, etc.
God I LOVE one day shipping from Amazon Prime TM, don’t you too?
Cloudflare regularly treats me as a bot, making it difficult or sometimes impossible to access certain websites, so I’m not all that inclined to believe them here.
This is interesting too, because in theory it would be in the best interest of cloudflare for that to be the general narrative. i.e “Look how many bots there are on the internet, you really need cloud flare” or however they’d advertise that.
Yeah this kinda fits into “CEO said a thing” journalism. Even if he’s correct — and intuitively it seems like he might be — people should ask for evidence. But our corporate press is useless and/or complicit and almost never asks a follow-up question.

Nope dude, I actually know how to type em dashes. It isn’t very difficult on lemmy (which is markdown formatted). It’s done by three regular dashes in a row: —. But I can do it on Macbook (opt+shift+dash) as well as on Linux (u+2014). I like em dashes and the bots can take them from my cold, dead hands. In this case, I used the markdown formatting because I was replying on my phone.

Are you behind avpn
I saw on another thread here, let’s move off www and let the bots take it over.
thats kinda what this is. problem is no matter where we go we interface with machines which means machines can be instructed to interface by themselves. the only way to truly do it is to engage in meatspace.

man. the library has gotten so commercial!
Can’t he see all that porn traffic?
The porn sites are usually blocklisted by AI companies because they don’t want their LLMs and image gens to generate porn.Now I kind of want to see a bot being trained on 100% porn images (amd 99% of them are at least 80% naked) in various situations and then order it to generate a human with clothes in an office setting.
Will it generate an office porn or the regular joe in an office? :Dthat sounds interesting tbh
Except Grok
So, what’s holding us back from uploading random non-nsfw videos or pictures to porn sites and using the comment section there as our social media?
Age verification. /s
“Are you 18+? yes/no”. Now the trick in hacking this security is to lie. Quite amazing that you can hack this using a political tool.
Saying no just gets you on the Trump pageant mailing list though
Didn’t that one math (or was it science?) YouTuber actually start doing this? If I recall, she was getting way more traffic on porn hub
Don’t know if it was more traffic but she made more.
Nothing tbh, theres some good convos on pornhub and creators seem able to get a better cut
