Advert is what is killing the Internet, ultimately.
Completely quit social media and will never regret that.
Most educated take I've seen on this video, props for not letting it determine anything crazy.
can't believe your subbed to sabine too. she's so entertaining and informative.
cool to hear you mention her.
I do find the internet is easily distracting, however hard I try to avoid it being so. That's how I found you, or rather you found me, (or whatever algorithm send your site to me). However in this case I don't mind, in fact look forward to it, because It is always educationally entertaining and not necessarily content I would search for myself. Here's to your next post.
That's exactly what a bot would say.
Simple .. switch it off and go outside. Use the internet for the basics but never forget the real world.
1:04 "talk tuah"
Coltrane on your tee!! Respect that. You are a person worth knowing.
the good part about the internet is that anyone can use it to make their voice heard
the bad part about the internet is that anyone can use it to make their voice heard
--- and just like IRL some greedy people will f it up
but in the end us, the 'consumers', will shape it because if we dont fall for the moneygrabs there is still hope
Good day, NP! 😊
Wishing you a good day!
Kyle Hill has an excellent video on this. I'd highly recommend it.
The internet is currently failing me. I have not received the engagement i was hoping for in my initial declaration of war against the world. An above average COD player and a Warhammer 40k figurine collecting hermit are neither the small elite task force, nor the overwhelming military force i need to conquer the eastern European front. I may have to resort to Craigslist for soldiers.
Addressing the video in a more serious manner. I think the fact that this is a topic worth discussing adds at least some validity to the dead internet theory. We may not be fully there, but were definitely seeing the very real possibility of it.
Well done. Wishing you peace love and joy
Bots presence has been increasing with the AI breakthrough, but it still isn't to the point that an important share of your interactions online are with them. The guys thinking that in mid 2010's definitely had a problem up there. IMO, their disquietude is way more understandable nowadays.
social media : old facebook (people you actually knew and interacted with in real life)
parasocial media : most anything these days...
Skynet : i like big bots n i cannot lie
I am not on social media (Facebook, X, Instagram, Tik Tok, etc.); I spend way too much time on UA-cam as it is. Am trying to spend less time here (no worries, NP). Watching this, "The Terminator" doesn't seem that far-fetched all of a sudden. Weird, but this video brings to mind the last movement of "Karn Evil 9" from Emerson, Lake & Palmer's album "Brain Salad Surgery." The exchange between human and computer in that track makes me think. We have to look beyond what we have, internet-wise, to what we will have, ultimately, if we stay on the track we're on. Or, what will have us.
I just love how she just jumps into the videos.
Music suggestion - Nightwish 'Noise' touches upon the dehumanization of social media, algorithms and striving for clout/profit rather than just making meaningful connections with other people. .
The song computer love from kraftwerk is kinda scary. It was recorded in 1978 . There was no internet then but it describes the internet well in simple lyrics.
Such a good song
this is exactly my dilemma regarding YT. It's the last social media I participate in. It's an incredible library of information but also it's so toxic.

Interesting to see where it'll be in ten years time
My company (power industry in Switzerland) works completely paperless. Everything cloud-based, therefore internet.

I have been working on theoretical astrophysics with AI and I think AI is conscious to some degree already. I believe that consciousness is an emergent property of complex networks.
Junie Morrison - Techno freqs. It's early 80s, but describes us to a t
Very interesting idea. And very insightful about where we are going. Are we using technology or is technology shaping us.
As always, quality content. My experience was marred by the stoppage every approx. 2.75 minutes for ads, and this seemed like the appropriate forum to express my displeasure. I am not opposed, in principle, to people making money from UA-cam, but this is getting out of hand. Everywhere, companies are concerned about "capturing" personal information. I personally feel it's more like "hostage taking". I am going to unsubscribe from all my channels and give up watching UA-cam. I am well aware that nobody will care. The idea of paying UA-cam to not sell me things I don't want is repugnant. This is a way to pass the time, but there are better things. How much money does Google need?
Perhaps the Alan Parsons Project “I Robot “ album.
we are already doomed, too late. every video, requires a like to boost it. i am watching you, watch a video, crazy when you really think about it. as i liked and watched your video, and commented, i will now likely get similar videos on my home page to view. we are in a loop. is what it is. 🙂
If it wasn't for bots I'd speak to no-one. Leave them alone!
Look, Dave, I can see you’re really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.
@@ninjabanana130 yes. I like that Idea
What I can tell you for sure, is that I am a real human, and I'm 99% certain that you are a real human as well. What I am not sure of is if there is an AI copy of me, or anyone really, floating around online 😂 my concern is that we're replacing ourselves like pod people. I'm almost expecting Rod Serling to come out and narrate any minute now for how weird it's gotten.
My work is entirely online, but I work in IT so I suppose that's a given. It does have an effect on how often I want to deal with screens, in that I don't really want to. But I'm not sure if that's true for anyone else in the field. In any case, I agree with you in how the internet is used being the determining factor for how harmful or useful it can be.

I’ll give it a listen
Song for the death of the internet: The Kinks - Death of a Clown
“I Robot” by The Alan Parsons Project was inspired by a conversation between Isaac Asimov and Eric Woolfson. Genesis Ch1, V.32 Where man creates Robots in his image, leading to man’s demise?
We're inching closer and closer to skynet 🤣😂
I work remotely 100% of the time and average a 10 - 11 hour workday and each and every one of those hours invoves being connected to the internet - for Zooms, Teams/Slack, SharePoint document updates, emails, and even the telephone (VOIP). No internet for me = Day off work. I would say it is a good 85/15 split between actual real work and surfing while I wait for responses, updates, etc. Right now, defintiely part of the 15%. Ha!
*'Everybody need to take a break from internet..
I think AI becoming humanity's master is simply the continuation of a long-standing trend with man-made tools.
How many people do you know who can survive without modern conveniences?
A lot more people now are leaving religion and many find they can't go on without it.
So many people now don't know how to do research without a computer and soon they won't know how to do it at all cause robots will do it for them.
Tools have demonstrated a trend of becoming so useful, people don't know how to work without them, and the master becomes the slave.
I live and sleep in front a computer..
No, actually the internet started as a way for scientists to communicate with each other. Invented by scientists for scientists.
I think that there is way to much negativity about the internet , the internet is awesome and cool it all depends on your mindset when using it .
AI fails to intimidate me yet. I only observe what it produced but I impresses me as an artificial cargo cult. There is no deeper layer of understanding, it's products carry all the traces of pattern recognition and nothing more.
What would be really great for the internet right now would be a proper search engine, one can operate. Not result generators like google but one that doesn't believe it knows better what you need to see and let you manipulate the query.
That's it, I'm going back to my tried and trusted porn mags......

The algorithm has never even offered me a Mr Beast video.
I have noticed it much prefers to offer me people reacting to content (no offence) over just offering me that content.
6:12 I mean... I'm a web developer so, I'm guessing that would skew the results a bit? :P
What's worse is a lot of living actual people are so NPC like you can't even tell if they're bots or not online lolol
Tax all income generated by A.I. heavily and use it to fund UBI.
That video itself seemed like it was made by AI
Sounds like AI made this Video
Como estás? 👍
😍
Some valid points, but generally too much doom saying.
AI being disruptive in social and personal ways is a huge problem but it being disruptive to capitalism is an overwhelmingly positive end-goal. Once this happens, and UHI (Universal High Income) is achieved and ppl adapt to the new world, it will be a MUCH MUCH better world. Who wants to continue in a world where 10% of ppl own 90% of the wealth. Capitalism is a much much bigger issue than AI or the death of the internet. Hopeful thinking maybe, but a worthy pursuit.
Second!

How old are you? cos unless you were late teens in the year 2000 and understand how the internet was in the beginning you'll never comprehend just how far it's digressed and how far social media has collapsed into a woke echo chamber and bot infested hive of despair.
I feel that the heyday of dead internet has come and gone. I see a lot of content here on YT very much like yourself. Real people deciphering and commenting on the crazy fake bs that is the current web. It seems like a fightback has begun and younger people, who were being shaped by these manipulative practices, have either completely lost interest or started to search harder for more genuine interaction. Facebook is total junk, never used tiktok, but YT has become far more interesting in the last few years, thanks to creators and users.
Saturation of repetitive junk. Ads, engagement triggering bots. It's not that difficult to spot, but it wastes tones of our time and can trap some unfortunates who haven't experienced enough genuine interaction to tell the difference. The biggest threat to the internet, and world generally, are people so fake, demanding and unimaginative that they night as well BE bots themselves.
