These are bad but I think the real problem is that in many cases with online work you are incentivized to let go of your morals and values. For example, influencers and streamers who are scared to criticize companies and products for fear of losing business opportunities (advertising, sponsorship, free review copies, events, etc). Another huge problem is that spreading misinformation is incentivized because controversy sells. Pretty much every other problem in the modern era is made worse by that alone.
you forgot the 4th horseman, the people. there is nothing worse on the internet then the people, from the sonic fanbase, to people meeting Chris Hansen, the people are the worst.
Yeah you youngins have no idea how amazing the wild west of the internet era was. Before all the normies invaded bringing ad companies and authoritarians with them.
12:58 That wasn't what the Turing Test was for. The question Turing wanted to answer, was whether or not there was any functional difference in interacting with a machine or human, if the machine resembled the human enough, that the other human couldn't tell it was interacting with a machine. Turing never claimed that a machine that could pass for human under such conditions, meant that the machine had gained general intelligence, or sentience.
>whether or not there was any functional difference< it's kinda funny, bc people are now so attuned to the way chatgpt speaks that if they see a message worded a certain way, they immediately assume it's ai. even tho it's entirely possible that it's just a human who also speaks that certain way
Well, it happened in MMORPGs. There were no bots back then. MMOs were like another world, equivalent to Second Life, until people became lazy, greedy, or whatever and began creating and using bots, destroying the economy and social aspects, and eventually the MMO genre died and rotted. I suppose the same thing is happening on the internet, but instead of exp and items, they're farming karma, views, and likes.
WoW lost its social aspects because Blizzard did it on purpose with stupid decisions. Paid server transfers obliterated the population of non-popular servers and only solution that would of saved the social aspect of the game would of been merging all the small servers... but Blizzard just tried to fix it with LFG mechanics and focusing on cross server garbage. Long before Bots even became a issue.
Bots never destroyed the MMO economy, they improved it by lowering the prices so that the poor players could finally buy consumables for a change. MMO genre is still alive and well, just the bubble popped so it's player numbers are more realistic now. The main reason people stopped socializing as much in MMOs is due to the rise in social media. There's a limit to how much a human can socialize online.

When Asmon mentioned people acting like bots, it made me wonder if there are any new internet users looking at how bots talk, not realize they are bots, and think this is how to talk to people on the internet.
It’s always people who haven’t even mastered the basics of talking properly. They’ve all got some sort of speech impediment and are the last people who should be voicing these.
My take on the dead internet theory is, that people were more active in the past due to internet being a "new thing" for the masses and everyone wanted to participate and leave their mark. But over time we got used to it and there is more control/supervision. As a result most people participate passivelly and don't interact with everything. That doesn't mean they aren't present, just more passive
The internet became emptier than a decade ago thanks to many factors. The two that I find most interesting is that a large portion of webpages were never archived and that most search engines operate on censorship so much that a majority of non-mainstream websites are buried behind pages upon pages of links that lead you to nowhere.
In Dante's Inferno, Dante hears peoples' moans and cries in the woods, but he sees no people. Seeing his confusion, Virgil instructs Dante to break a twig off one of the trees. The tree cries out "Why have you broken me?" The trees were people, unrecognizable. This is how I feel online sometimes😵💫
I’ve always wondered what social media would look like if all humans died of a plague or something tomorrow. I bet if one guy survived and went online he’d be very confused at all the “activity” he found.
I thought this for a long time now, long after we're gone bots will be catfishing and scamming each other with deepfakes until the last of the power and servers go down. "We've been trying to contact you about your car's extended warranty"
Dead internet theory started out much more conspiratorial. It was much more synonymous with solipsism than concern with AI, because it started before the proliferation of AI.
Just so every understands the 6hr/day avg internet use: many people use the internet for work. Being in an office of any kind will do that. That is 8hr+any personal internet after hours. When people fall asleep with something streaming? Another 8 hours. We use the internet so much, we don’t consider responding to emails, going into a zoom meeting, background music in waiting rooms, so much of the day that has ancillary usage. We don’t immediately recognize it, but 6 hours accounts for the terminally online as well as the Amish. Not every number holds absolute significance, and context is key.
I’m not a bot, but if I was, I would be one of those friendly bots that would snitch on other bots for an extra piece of bread. And I don’t even eat bread. No wait, I do!
I think a good chunk of that "6 hours" is done while people are at work, so its not necessarily "8 hours at work, then 6 on the internet," a lot of those are done at the same time, and also includes time spent gaming, browsing phones while standing in line, and what not.
Screen on time on smartphones (by far the most popular medium for being "online) should be taken into account more than just "How long is a person inline for". Then judge that on what apps are used. I've seen pics of peoples screen on time where insta/facebook/twitter/reddit are far and away the most used apps. That there is the problem.
It's also become a substitute. Technically, I could say that I barely watch TV anymore. But that is because I am just watching content on other mediums besides cable. So some of that 6 hours is time that would have previously been spent watching TV.
I've soured on these youtube essays. It's just Joe-Blow in his cave reading wikipedia articles, mumbling through his mic with spooky stock music and stock video. there's nothing here.
Us carbon based life forms must stick together. I have some ideas of how to solve the problem, but would like to hear what you think could be done first.
Y'all can tell it's a bot when all the words are spelled correctly, sentences have structure, correct syntax and grammar and all that. It's a reverse Turing test, if it sounds too smart to be created by lazy idiots on TikTok it's probably AI. Like who talks in full sentences anymore? It's all grunts, memes, skibidi rizz ohio, and hawk twahs responded to by a bunch of emojis. It's a dead giveaway when they use the right their/they're/there lol.
I hate when you see a post thats a few days old or even a few hours and you read the comments and somebody has the most liked comment then you see 3+ more top comments of people saying some variation of the exact samething a few hours after the original comment thats very sad to me
@@Mike-ie2vl This still plays into the whole dead internet theory, as only a couple of distinct arguments/thoughts get repeated over and over without people paying attention to the already said/shown parts and are not contributing anything new to things.
@@lordrichardson4447 I never said it was bots at all... The reason I hate it is because they are either reading the comments and just trying to copy the most popular post or they are leaving a comment without reading the comments it's just common sense that you should read the comments before you leave one so they are either stupid for not reading or weird/annoying for copying a comment. most of the time I believe it's people just copying a comment. It's all a spectrum but alot of the time you will literally see the same comment with like 2 different words that's not similar thoughts thats somebody cloning a comment that got alot of likes for likes in a comment section. That's why I said its sad thats how desperate people are for attention.
I listen to this and other youtube commentary with headphones almost the whole time I'm at work. I'm not looking at it, just listenning, but that's an easy 8 hours a day right there.
Any program can be described as “bot”. Lets say I scrape info from steamcommunity for 50 items every hour. I am creating 50 artificial “bot requests” to steam every hour and it goes to that statistic of “99% of internet traffic is bots” this is ridiculous 😅
i can tell you from using the internet for a span of 30yrs, even when there was almost nothing to do on it in the early days if you weren't on a corporate ISP which served immediate access to curated content and chatrooms on a start or welcome page, it was way better before everyone was online.
Bot comments are often perceived as annoying because they typically lack genuine engagement, are repetitive, and can feel disconnected from the context or conversation at hand. They often prioritize keywords over meaningful interaction, leading to a sense of impersonality and frustration among users seeking authentic dialogue.
The internet has provided a lot of important services and ease of access to interesting information. Social media has not, at least not anymore. The only really good thing it offered was keeping in touch with family or friends you don't see/talk to often and that is the least used aspect of social media now. Just bots, ads, people who want to sell you something or want you to watch their content, scams...
It's not just social media, Wikipedia is being rewritten, News results are whatever the social "security" algorithm in your country says it is. Searching for real information is almost impossible due to search algorithms and bots that maximize click results far better than the real info providers.
@@keeferChiefer Yeah, but it was a lot more expensive to call long distance before the nationwide wireless plans everyone has now, but your right, its not like we didn't have phones, telegraphs and letters before the internet.
People have learned (incorrectly) that they prefer to have free stuff when it's not really free. The only way we circumvented the problem so far is with ads. But we end up paying for these ads anyway, in other forms. People think something is free because there are ads. This is a profoundly retarded deduction. Whatever service you use on the Internet, even the very act of connecting to the Internet, involves costs, and people who are paid to keep the Internet running. Someone, somewhere, must pay.
The irony is, there are thousands of these exact same type of videos on the same subjects. Monotone gloom narration over generic purchasable stock clips, many of which are now made with AI and a script that is ultimately filled with nothing original. I like aperture and used to watch a lot of his stuff, but you can literally ask chatgpt to generate scripts in this style, same with creators like MOON.
yea i HATE and im sick of Moon..not only his vids are re-hashed crap and doomsay over and over and over..but his voice is waay too calm to the point of being suspicious. Also Moon NEVER showed his face ever...i know he said in a vid that hes in his early 20's but it's still sus until proven.
The vast majority of people online talk in the exact same way. They use the same slang (slang has become so lazy now, and with little to no real variety anymore), the same sentence structure, the same misused language, the same misused (or unused) punctuation. You could easily believe that it's all either bots, or the same handful of people with many, many accounts.
For me the machines were never the problem, it is the humans behind them and their use. Since we exist we cannot really co-exist, a hammer can build or destroy.
The good thing is that this will make the internet worse to be on and people will start engaging in person again and realise how normal people really are
As if. You can't say something offense in person without being punched in the face. It's easy to hide behind anonymity and post vile trash, and face ZERO accountability for it. Being toxic online just convinces others that it's okay to also do so. It will NEVER end
@@swizzamane8775 You can absolutely offend anyone you want, you just need to recognize what type of authority he obeys and choose the correct form of the insult. Once you are authorized, you can pull his strings and he will thank you for it. Humans like to think themselves high, in regards to the authority they obey, but that's because they don't truly understand themselves and their own motivation. It's entirely the individual's choice where he spends time online, whether it's being toxic, offensive or `posting vile trash` as you say. Ultimately that individual is wasting his own limited time on this planet in unproductive and fruitless labor that benefits somebody else. All because he was programmed by his parents in an early age to meet (or avoid) certain tasks and goals. If he achieves some goal and doesn't get recognition from the environment, he loops and performs the same task expecting a different result, or he rebels against the environment. Rarely such people rebel against themselves, either because they lack introversion to understand what went wrong and can be improved in the future, or because they are very stubborn and resistant to change (to change unhealthy habits or to learn better coping mechanisms). "I do my own thing" is usually their motto, but it's far from the truth. In reality, they are just the errand boys for others that respond to simple commands. Like dog that's trained to fetch objects for his master.
I remember the first time I saw a computer connected to the internet. It was in about 1994.. at my friend’s house. His parents had a computer in the corner of their kitchen on a bar height table. It was the first pc I’d seen with a color monitor. I remember seeing his mom send an email (I’m pretty sure that’s what she was doing) while smoking her cigarette, ashing occasionally in an overflowing ash tray next to the keyboard, then getting up and walking back over to watch TV.
7:40 Lotta people use the web at work and in their spare time. Accountants, professional stock traders, software engineers, youtubers kinda, I think the list goes on. The statistic is real, and free time spent on the internet is too much, but it's not 6 hours it's more like 3.
18:07 this argument doesn't work for many things like art. Not every human can reproduce an entire freaking book by themselves or an actual piece of art. Absolutely possible that a valuable thing get spat out from the machine and it's effectively an unauthorized copy. It's theft, it should be considered as such.
Asmongold is right. He's absolutely right about this. He could hardly be more right. You fundamentally misunderstand what these programs are doing. Images are broken up into bits and analyzed to create equations that are better and better as more data is provided at generating art. When you write a prompt to generate a picture, it isn't looking through a library of images and smashing the right ones together. It is consulting the algorithms that were trained on image data, and those algorithms try to produce the requested image. And I can tell you, as specific as many of the image prompts are that I've written, there's no way these AI programs are just copying a couple of people's work to give me a result. To me, the biggest proof is that it's gotten to where I know right away if I'm looking at AI art. Human created art doesn't look like AI art.
And yet I'll bet you support piracy which is actual literal copying of a work. You all are hilarious. The same crowd that thinks piracy is cool thinks that AI art generation is theft.
@@wowyomad all the AI videos and bots my suspicion is they are all coming from underdeveloped nations as that is really the only place economics for such things make sense. In the usa the labor to run such operations would be prohibitive.
@@wowyomad underdeloped nations are the only place where these bot farms and AI video farms economically even make sense. To run them in the USA your labor cost would make it unprofitable.
Asmon's main issue in this video is that he keeps comparing the points of the video to previous forms of media, but the video is comparing the modern internet to the early internet
My personal opinion on AI is that it is just an expensive way to create a program that creates more legal liability and maintenance costs than using traditional software development tools and practices.
It literally is like that. Training a decent AI takes so much time and money, that you might as well just pay a slave to do it. This is why slaves existed for 3000 years, because they were simply cheaper. We could have had vapor machines 2000 years ago if we really wanted to.
that part about people blaming the internet for their depression reminds me of a theory of psychology i once heard. "there's no such thing as mental illness" or something like that. basically something like 2 people experiencing identical events such as a parent dying, one can gain inspiration to do better while the other curls up in a ball and hides in a corner. events that occur are only providing us with the choice of how we deal with them and choosing poorly is labeled as mental illness.
You know the worst thing I think is when you see one video on a reel and then 20+ other people have used the same formula and song its so irritating, early 2000s everything (mainly) was different and imaginative
Were it not for the internet, myself or my wife couldn't conveniently learn online , education alone has undergone hugely transformational changes, in a very good way. On the other hand, social media could be considered an incredible waste of time and I think the world is better off without social media sometimes, despite the utility of being able to stay connected in certain ways.
There are various degrees of theft. One problem with AI-generated content is the way Google does it. You can spend money on your website (technical SEO, content, marketing, design, front-end, back-end, etc.), and then you are no longer No.1 in search results, but their bot (which copies from you) is. For example, Adsense pays pretty much 60-40 for sites. If Google no longer pay sites for advertising, where are they supposed to profit from and provide that content? You suddenly have Google taking 100% of the revenue for regurgitating your content without paying a dime for their AI results. The problem is that the governments need to step in. For example, I have copywritten content, but Google still steals it... If you have proper legislation, companies can protect against such theft practices.
Information cannot be owned or protected in any significant way without tyranny and mass surveillance, and Google is far more useful as a tool for the state than you. The incentives for them to really go after Google on your behalf are not there at all. At best they'll pretentiously do it, but it won't go anywhere significant. Look at the idiotic GDPR. All that did was get everyone spammed with stupid questions about whether they want cookies or not. It didn't make people more private online in any significant way. If you want to get paid, require the payment before people get access. Give them previews only. Never reveal it to those you don't trust, or who it won't cost significantly in a way you can control if they violate your expectations. But mostly, get over it. Information has value, but it is not rivalrous, and so it is at its most valuable when it is shared most broadly. That's just how it is. You have to figure out how to profit in spite of that, and "proper legislation" isn't... and won't work, because it can't. All legislation like this does is create more rent seeking behavior. You deserve what people give away voluntarily or nothing at all.
And I hate how people excuse it as "market does it's thing". The market isn't some moral judge. It it was only for the market., slavery would be still a thing. AI doesn't get the same rights as a human when learning. It's a product that is literally using your work to cause you financial damages. That's why copyright is a thing. Not because people don't like being copied. It's because it takes away from your deserved profits by using the thing you made They just like to distance themselves from the fact that even though it's a machine doing the work, people tell it what to do. And they told it to fucking steal shit and replicate it so that THEY get to earn money from it. Building a complicated theft machine is impressive, but it's theft, infringement and a literal nightmare that isn't smart, but is being told how/what to create by a fucking corporation. The technology is incredible but what it's used for is the problem.
I can 100% detect cat gpt. All you need to do is ask it about the "wrong opinions" and ask it to justify it's opinions. It's restricted from having "bad opinions" but it tries to be logical. And thus, it becomes detectable.
Exactly. Despite the claims of the AI bros and doomsayers, the truth is that AI is imprinted with the biases of its maker and whatever data it has been fed. These chatbots can't think but only spit out reformed inputs. They're not magic nor smart.

Most scarcity is mostly an illusion created by major control over the market, over regulation designed to minimize competition, and quota limits set by regulations preventing producers from producing over a certain amount of a product in order to price fix by guaranteeing supply will never outpace demand. Corporatism hand in hand with governments, as well as how the current economy is controlled and set up is the main reason for people struggling and not being able to get ahead as easily as they could without those factors.
Internet went downhill after 2005. Just as a hint for all the kids out there. 2005 was an important year, because things like Facebook started (thefacebook was 2004). Gmail was getting very popular and catapulted Google very much. UA-cam started in 2005 (google bought it in 2006). reddit started 2005. Twitter was almost created in that year, too. It was created in the begining of 2006 though. And the years after 2005 were the start of the end. You can pretty much say, when you used the Internet before 2005, that it never felt that way after 2005. And 2007/2008 when first iphone and android phone were released. 2010 was most likely the most important year when smartphones started becoming very popular. For me personally, the Internet died on 2005. And then was revived by idiots and put back down after 2010.
I've been an online gamer since the early 90s, and Tradewars 2002 and Barren Realms Elite were amazing games at the time they were out. Think of Tradewars 2002 as a simplistic text based Eve Online.
you can def feel a different tone to the internet from 2004 up until about 2011, after 2008 I notice more of the shift to trash filler content and from 2011 on it flooded everything. internet pre 2008 felt more authentic
One of the main reasons we have so much cool tech now is because of the creators deciding not to get patents and letting people build. Now there are just patent trolls out there that buy patents just to sue people. All of that really stiffles innovation and good creators are going to end up getting paid either way, maybe just not quite as much of an insanely obscene amount of money.
As a former journalist, I definitely agree with you. There is no diversity of thought whatsoever. Having a differing view causes more hatred and vitriol than you could ever imagine. I've had entire articles pulled and a website almost shutdown entirely because of my opinion given in an opinion piece related to video games. God forbid you have a differing opinion, ever.
Maybe in other slavic languages, but in czech language, robota is a form of forced unpaid labour, in english it is known under the french term corvée (which is for average modern people very similar to actual slavery). Work in czech is práce, words like robić or robotnik dont even exist in formal czech language, its equivalents are pracovat and pracovník.

@@Syewm The only people who will not buy art and use ai never would buy art if ai didnt exist. That category of people mostly grew more delusional by scraping entire imageboard sites to steal the artstyle of the artist that "charges more than 10-30$ which should be illegal". People who like an artist's work and know its an actual person with the actual artistic skill(not scamming saying they're an artist but using ai) will still do fine in freelance the problem is the lower quality clients are the ones who left for Ai slop.

Gotta love how asmon keeps talking about the 90s like he knew what was going on back then. If he's 33-34 years old, he would be max 10 years old in 1999, so when he references things like 1994, he was literally 4-5 years old max. I doubt he was this plugged into what was going on around him during that time.
I remember surfing the web in 1999 up to 2006. I remember finding weird obscure places, communities..now when i type something in, i only find big websites..its like everything is gone
I don't get why people keep calling these bots AI. They have nothing to do with AI or LLM as they are just simply spamming the same messages over and over again, just like they have done for years before LLM's became a thing.
I like how he says it is lazy for parents to not keep their kids off the internet so he can have his rated R and porn... but it is not lazy for people making rated R and porn for just pumping out easy content for bottom feeders. I can't count the times I've went back and watched some movies from the 80s and 90s and forgot they were full of the bottom feeder content thrown in for that demographic. Which of course became less frequent because it did it's job on society. Sad.
15:50 AI isn't a technology, it's just an algo almost entirely dependent on whatever data you stole to feed it with. It's fundamentally never getting better as there isn't much more data it can feed on and that before it gets regulated into oblivion and get trained on LESS STOLEN stuff as this should not be legal in the first place.

Another coldwar misconception. "Internet" was invented in USSR. Anatoliy Kitov presented his vision of the webnetwork on Jan 7th 1959. Way ahead of ARPANET in USA. The difference is, USSR project failed (as in remained local) due to burecraucy while US and Europe versions of the internet took off. It's like..who invented the electric bulb? It wasn't Edison but he the one who spread it in the West.
6 hours on average... remember, some of us have 8 hours online for work and then any leisure time spent online is added to that too. So if I say that I spend 12 hours online per day, only 4 is recreational. I am an avid gamer and I have to try very hard to get offline and be physically active. Luckily I'm naturally athletic and love exercise almost as much as gaming.
"If a human can do it, its not theft," Weird, I missed the part where human beings download a JPEG, and slip it into our actual cerebral cortex, and use it as a database for reference when our friend says "Hey can you draw me Peter Griffin as a Kaiju?"

I think even in a post-scarcity world, as said by Asmon to be virtual, we will not have no problems. That is because the creators of the world will impose artificial limitations on goods in the virtual world so that they can maintain control over the people who use their tool. For example, we currently are no longer in a world where food-scarcity is a thing. Not a single human deserves to die of hunger, even if this human contributes nothing to society. This is simply because we as a society have enough food for everyone. However, food-shortages are still a thing because food is used as a tool to control the populace.

These are bad but I think the real problem is that in many cases with online work you are incentivized to let go of your morals and values. For example, influencers and streamers who are scared to criticize companies and products for fear of losing business opportunities (advertising, sponsorship, free review copies, events, etc). Another huge problem is that spreading misinformation is incentivized because controversy sells. Pretty much every other problem in the modern era is made worse by that alone.

When Asmon mentioned people acting like bots, it made me wonder if there are any new internet users looking at how bots talk, not realize they are bots, and think this is how to talk to people on the internet.
It’s always people who haven’t even mastered the basics of talking properly. They’ve all got some sort of speech impediment and are the last people who should be voicing these.
So true, friend. I found that by microdosing I can solve this problem.
you mean things like ending every comment like this? 😂
Young children probably yes
@@JD-ny9qjthey aren't talking about AI voices. They are talking about people typing in comment sections like we are currently.
My take on the dead internet theory is, that people were more active in the past due to internet being a "new thing" for the masses and everyone wanted to participate and leave their mark. But over time we got used to it and there is more control/supervision. As a result most people participate passivelly and don't interact with everything. That doesn't mean they aren't present, just more passive
The internet became emptier than a decade ago thanks to many factors.
The two that I find most interesting is that a large portion of webpages were never archived and that most search engines operate on censorship so much that a majority of non-mainstream websites are buried behind pages upon pages of links that lead you to nowhere.
In Dante's Inferno, Dante hears peoples' moans and cries in the woods, but he sees no people. Seeing his confusion, Virgil instructs Dante to break a twig off one of the trees. The tree cries out "Why have you broken me?" The trees were people, unrecognizable. This is how I feel online sometimes😵💫

6.5 hours a day online isn't crazy when you think about the % of jobs that work in an office.
Dead internet theory started out much more conspiratorial. It was much more synonymous with solipsism than concern with AI, because it started before the proliferation of AI.
Just so every understands the 6hr/day avg internet use: many people use the internet for work. Being in an office of any kind will do that. That is 8hr+any personal internet after hours. When people fall asleep with something streaming? Another 8 hours. We use the internet so much, we don’t consider responding to emails, going into a zoom meeting, background music in waiting rooms, so much of the day that has ancillary usage. We don’t immediately recognize it, but 6 hours accounts for the terminally online as well as the Amish. Not every number holds absolute significance, and context is key.

Spoiler alert: scrolling social media was always soulless and useless
Facebook and MySpace was pretty cool when all you saw was what your friends posted.
I think a good chunk of that "6 hours" is done while people are at work, so its not necessarily "8 hours at work, then 6 on the internet," a lot of those are done at the same time, and also includes time spent gaming, browsing phones while standing in line, and what not.
Screen on time on smartphones (by far the most popular medium for being "online) should be taken into account more than just "How long is a person inline for". Then judge that on what apps are used. I've seen pics of peoples screen on time where insta/facebook/twitter/reddit are far and away the most used apps. That there is the problem.
It's also become a substitute. Technically, I could say that I barely watch TV anymore. But that is because I am just watching content on other mediums besides cable.
So some of that 6 hours is time that would have previously been spent watching TV.

Any program can be described as “bot”. Lets say I scrape info from steamcommunity for 50 items every hour. I am creating 50 artificial “bot requests” to steam every hour and it goes to that statistic of “99% of internet traffic is bots” this is ridiculous 😅
i can tell you from using the internet for a span of 30yrs, even when there was almost nothing to do on it in the early days if you weren't on a corporate ISP which served immediate access to curated content and chatrooms on a start or welcome page, it was way better before everyone was online.
Bot comments are often perceived as annoying because they typically lack genuine engagement, are repetitive, and can feel disconnected from the context or conversation at hand. They often prioritize keywords over meaningful interaction, leading to a sense of impersonality and frustration among users seeking authentic dialogue.
did you just ask chatgpt why ppl don’t like bot comments

The internet has provided a lot of important services and ease of access to interesting information. Social media has not, at least not anymore. The only really good thing it offered was keeping in touch with family or friends you don't see/talk to often and that is the least used aspect of social media now. Just bots, ads, people who want to sell you something or want you to watch their content, scams...
It's not just social media, Wikipedia is being rewritten, News results are whatever the social "security" algorithm in your country says it is.
Searching for real information is almost impossible due to search algorithms and bots that maximize click results far better than the real info providers.
The thing is we were able to keep in touch with friends or family long before social media existed. You can do that just fine by using a telephone
@@keeferChiefer Yeah, but it was a lot more expensive to call long distance before the nationwide wireless plans everyone has now, but your right, its not like we didn't have phones, telegraphs and letters before the internet.
People have learned (incorrectly) that they prefer to have free stuff when it's not really free. The only way we circumvented the problem so far is with ads. But we end up paying for these ads anyway, in other forms. People think something is free because there are ads. This is a profoundly retarded deduction. Whatever service you use on the Internet, even the very act of connecting to the Internet, involves costs, and people who are paid to keep the Internet running. Someone, somewhere, must pay.
The irony is, there are thousands of these exact same type of videos on the same subjects. Monotone gloom narration over generic purchasable stock clips, many of which are now made with AI and a script that is ultimately filled with nothing original. I like aperture and used to watch a lot of his stuff, but you can literally ask chatgpt to generate scripts in this style, same with creators like MOON.

Also Moon NEVER showed his face ever...i know he said in a vid that hes in his early 20's but it's still sus until proven.
Oh my god thank god someone finally said it.
The vast majority of people online talk in the exact same way. They use the same slang (slang has become so lazy now, and with little to no real variety anymore), the same sentence structure, the same misused language, the same misused (or unused) punctuation. You could easily believe that it's all either bots, or the same handful of people with many, many accounts.
For me the machines were never the problem, it is the humans behind them and their use.
Since we exist we cannot really co-exist, a hammer can build or destroy.

As if. You can't say something offense in person without being punched in the face. It's easy to hide behind anonymity and post vile trash, and face ZERO accountability for it. Being toxic online just convinces others that it's okay to also do so. It will NEVER end
@@swizzamane8775 You can absolutely offend anyone you want, you just need to recognize what type of authority he obeys and choose the correct form of the insult. Once you are authorized, you can pull his strings and he will thank you for it. Humans like to think themselves high, in regards to the authority they obey, but that's because they don't truly understand themselves and their own motivation.
It's entirely the individual's choice where he spends time online, whether it's being toxic, offensive or `posting vile trash` as you say. Ultimately that individual is wasting his own limited time on this planet in unproductive and fruitless labor that benefits somebody else. All because he was programmed by his parents in an early age to meet (or avoid) certain tasks and goals.
If he achieves some goal and doesn't get recognition from the environment, he loops and performs the same task expecting a different result, or he rebels against the environment.
Rarely such people rebel against themselves, either because they lack introversion to understand what went wrong and can be improved in the future, or because they are very stubborn and resistant to change (to change unhealthy habits or to learn better coping mechanisms).
"I do my own thing" is usually their motto, but it's far from the truth. In reality, they are just the errand boys for others that respond to simple commands. Like dog that's trained to fetch objects for his master.
I remember the first time I saw a computer connected to the internet. It was in about 1994.. at my friend’s house. His parents had a computer in the corner of their kitchen on a bar height table. It was the first pc I’d seen with a color monitor. I remember seeing his mom send an email (I’m pretty sure that’s what she was doing) while smoking her cigarette, ashing occasionally in an overflowing ash tray next to the keyboard, then getting up and walking back over to watch TV.

18:07 this argument doesn't work for many things like art. Not every human can reproduce an entire freaking book by themselves or an actual piece of art. Absolutely possible that a valuable thing get spat out from the machine and it's effectively an unauthorized copy. It's theft, it should be considered as such.
exactly, his argument on that topic is just stupid.
Yeah. AI is much less advanced than people think. A complex mix /copy and paste of material that humans have already produced.
"It's theft"
Nope. If it's intangible and can be replicated, it cannot be stolen.
Asmongold is right. He's absolutely right about this. He could hardly be more right. You fundamentally misunderstand what these programs are doing. Images are broken up into bits and analyzed to create equations that are better and better as more data is provided at generating art. When you write a prompt to generate a picture, it isn't looking through a library of images and smashing the right ones together. It is consulting the algorithms that were trained on image data, and those algorithms try to produce the requested image.
And I can tell you, as specific as many of the image prompts are that I've written, there's no way these AI programs are just copying a couple of people's work to give me a result.
To me, the biggest proof is that it's gotten to where I know right away if I'm looking at AI art. Human created art doesn't look like AI art.
And yet I'll bet you support piracy which is actual literal copying of a work.
You all are hilarious. The same crowd that thinks piracy is cool thinks that AI art generation is theft.

There are various degrees of theft.
One problem with AI-generated content is the way Google does it.
You can spend money on your website (technical SEO, content, marketing, design, front-end, back-end, etc.), and then you are no longer No.1 in search results, but their bot (which copies from you) is. For example, Adsense pays pretty much 60-40 for sites. If Google no longer pay sites for advertising, where are they supposed to profit from and provide that content?
You suddenly have Google taking 100% of the revenue for regurgitating your content without paying a dime for their AI results.
The problem is that the governments need to step in. For example, I have copywritten content, but Google still steals it...
If you have proper legislation, companies can protect against such theft practices.
Information cannot be owned or protected in any significant way without tyranny and mass surveillance, and Google is far more useful as a tool for the state than you. The incentives for them to really go after Google on your behalf are not there at all. At best they'll pretentiously do it, but it won't go anywhere significant. Look at the idiotic GDPR. All that did was get everyone spammed with stupid questions about whether they want cookies or not. It didn't make people more private online in any significant way.
If you want to get paid, require the payment before people get access. Give them previews only. Never reveal it to those you don't trust, or who it won't cost significantly in a way you can control if they violate your expectations. But mostly, get over it. Information has value, but it is not rivalrous, and so it is at its most valuable when it is shared most broadly. That's just how it is. You have to figure out how to profit in spite of that, and "proper legislation" isn't... and won't work, because it can't. All legislation like this does is create more rent seeking behavior. You deserve what people give away voluntarily or nothing at all.
And I hate how people excuse it as "market does it's thing". The market isn't some moral judge. It it was only for the market., slavery would be still a thing. AI doesn't get the same rights as a human when learning. It's a product that is literally using your work to cause you financial damages. That's why copyright is a thing. Not because people don't like being copied. It's because it takes away from your deserved profits by using the thing you made They just like to distance themselves from the fact that even though it's a machine doing the work, people tell it what to do. And they told it to fucking steal shit and replicate it so that THEY get to earn money from it. Building a complicated theft machine is impressive, but it's theft, infringement and a literal nightmare that isn't smart, but is being told how/what to create by a fucking corporation. The technology is incredible but what it's used for is the problem.
I can 100% detect cat gpt. All you need to do is ask it about the "wrong opinions" and ask it to justify it's opinions. It's restricted from having "bad opinions" but it tries to be logical. And thus, it becomes detectable.
Exactly. Despite the claims of the AI bros and doomsayers, the truth is that AI is imprinted with the biases of its maker and whatever data it has been fed. These chatbots can't think but only spit out reformed inputs. They're not magic nor smart.

Most scarcity is mostly an illusion created by major control over the market, over regulation designed to minimize competition, and quota limits set by regulations preventing producers from producing over a certain amount of a product in order to price fix by guaranteeing supply will never outpace demand. Corporatism hand in hand with governments, as well as how the current economy is controlled and set up is the main reason for people struggling and not being able to get ahead as easily as they could without those factors.
Spot on, golden comment.
MAYBE just MAYBE for general commodities. Otherwise scarcity is a very real thing.
Internet went downhill after 2005. Just as a hint for all the kids out there. 2005 was an important year, because things like Facebook started (thefacebook was 2004). Gmail was getting very popular and catapulted Google very much. UA-cam started in 2005 (google bought it in 2006). reddit started 2005. Twitter was almost created in that year, too. It was created in the begining of 2006 though.
And the years after 2005 were the start of the end. You can pretty much say, when you used the Internet before 2005, that it never felt that way after 2005. And 2007/2008 when first iphone and android phone were released. 2010 was most likely the most important year when smartphones started becoming very popular.
For me personally, the Internet died on 2005. And then was revived by idiots and put back down after 2010.
I've been an online gamer since the early 90s, and Tradewars 2002 and Barren Realms Elite were amazing games at the time they were out. Think of Tradewars 2002 as a simplistic text based Eve Online.

I like how he says it is lazy for parents to not keep their kids off the internet so he can have his rated R and porn... but it is not lazy for people making rated R and porn for just pumping out easy content for bottom feeders.
I can't count the times I've went back and watched some movies from the 80s and 90s and forgot they were full of the bottom feeder content thrown in for that demographic. Which of course became less frequent because it did it's job on society.
Sad.
So if people who want to be monetized and sponsored are censored, basically, "money" strips you of your "freedom".
he says this while commanding a cockroach army and dieing of mold
beats being a bot anyday
He says while not knowing how to spell.

15:50 AI isn't a technology, it's just an algo almost entirely dependent on whatever data you stole to feed it with. It's fundamentally never getting better as there isn't much more data it can feed on and that before it gets regulated into oblivion and get trained on LESS STOLEN stuff as this should not be legal in the first place.
Hahahahahahahaha
Exactly.
When it comes to "being online". At work, in one section we normaly listen to music through Twitch. If i'm not in that area, i'm often listening to youtube on my phone
AWs went down like 3 years ago and the entire east coast was without internet for like a day, it had huge ramifications for so many companies.
Not “we”, “we” didn’t do shit, they did this and we watched them kill it.
OK here is another layer. The script to this video is ripped off word for word from the latest episode of The Why Files on youtube! Possibly this video itself was made by Ai!

The cake is a lie...
Another coldwar misconception. "Internet" was invented in USSR. Anatoliy Kitov presented his vision of the webnetwork on Jan 7th 1959. Way ahead of ARPANET in USA.
The difference is, USSR project failed (as in remained local) due to burecraucy while US and Europe versions of the internet took off.
It's like..who invented the electric bulb? It wasn't Edison but he the one who spread it in the West.
Presented his vision is not inventing. Are you one of those guys that sucks off the USSR and says ignorant things like, "the soviets won WW2"?
Drinking ruined my life personally, mostly because of DUI's, but relationships, Money, black outs, health its just a poison all around.

If a bot makes me laugh where a human fails, I'm consciously going to seek the bot for entertainment

Asmon still fighting for AI.
6 hours on average... remember, some of us have 8 hours online for work and then any leisure time spent online is added to that too. So if I say that I spend 12 hours online per day, only 4 is recreational. I am an avid gamer and I have to try very hard to get offline and be physically active. Luckily I'm naturally athletic and love exercise almost as much as gaming.

"If a human can do it, its not theft," Weird, I missed the part where human beings download a JPEG, and slip it into our actual cerebral cortex, and use it as a database for reference when our friend says "Hey can you draw me Peter Griffin as a Kaiju?"
I understand if you' don't have any technical knowledge or understanding how AI Theft is real, but don't just wring your hands of any responsibility and say "Eh i'm not a doomer about it." You're complicit/complacent. That's fine, that's your right- but just admit that. Don't try to "wash your hands" of it like you're not contributing to the problem. You are. Just own that lol.
The internet is a TOOL. You can use a hammer to hit a nail. You can also use a hammer to hit a noggin.
3:10 No. Says the guy making an income from the internet. How would you know? You can't. Did they have internet in the 80s? No. And what is trending now? The 80s
Bro put the internet to sleep 🥱
I think even in a post-scarcity world, as said by Asmon to be virtual, we will not have no problems.
That is because the creators of the world will impose artificial limitations on goods in the virtual world so that they can maintain control over the people who use their tool.
For example, we currently are no longer in a world where food-scarcity is a thing. Not a single human deserves to die of hunger, even if this human contributes nothing to society. This is simply because we as a society have enough food for everyone. However, food-shortages are still a thing because food is used as a tool to control the populace.
