The first group is leaving, they do not want to teach AI

Yes and no. it depends.

Perhaps I’m wasting my time… but whatever.

If we count non-human traffic then automation/bots were always dominant. Servers check each other’s availability all the time. Scrapper bots existed way before dead internet theory and many services online were just a bot polling some servers repeatedly just to show you collected and processed data. Nothing new.

If we count only bots that pretend to be human then this is more of a modern issue. And it’s a source of sudden growth of interest in invigilation among political elites. After all most of internet-based economy is built on assumption that sites can show advertisements to humans. And often are paid per showing. If those views turned out to be just bots, nobody would want to pay for them. That would pretty much be another financial bubble to pop around the internet, maybe even bigger than AI-bubble itself. Of course any legislated methods of verifying if someone is human will be cracked within days and bots will be certified as humans faster than humans themselves. This is what we learned from all anti-piracy tech spending and there is no reason to hope that human-verification will be any better.

In my personal opinion internet was never human-driven. It was always humans surfing on waves of bots working in unison to keep the thing working. It’s the bots that pretend to be humans who are the problem both for people and for companies. And companies will rather push real humans out of internet than reign the bots in.

current wave of AI isn’t even new technology

We had predictive text. We had neural networks. We had both for more than few decades. Someone just decides “what if predictive text was built on neural network?” and it worked much better than old solution. In fact old solution worked pretty much like one-layer neural network.

TechBros literally took something we already had, made it more expensive and sold it to investors.

Many people in history did this at what, 16? Not officially an adult in most countries.

Americans look happy.

I think he is a very sad man. He thought americans cared, he thought if americans knew they were getting fucked over they would do something. He thought american democracy is worth fighting for.

He was wrong.

Nothing?

Except we are not customers, and it’s the customers that are important. I’s like cows asking between themselves when will the butcher realize that they do not like being killed for meat.

Butcher knows, but butcher doesn’t sell comfort to cows, he sells meat to customers.

Bollocks, respectfully, bollocks.

Internet from the very conception was built around automation and bots. What wasn’t built around bots is advertising. Quoting this article:

The internet was architected around […] entire world of digital advertising

It only causes problems for big advertisers. Google, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit etc. because if there is one thing advertisers hate more than adBlock is the idea that their clients will stop believing that ads are shown to real humans. Push for digital-ID is not to protect children, it is just another push to convince dumb shareholders that advertising online is still perfectly viable.

Fair enough. When I moved into the city I had an urge to block exhausts of every car around.

I see “banned from community”

I look inside

Hating on americans

Like my wife? Or my neighbour?

Americans can’t do anything en masse.

And this means, horses also create jobs!

Like our cities, full of cars and trash, do not stink already.

You know what horse can do that no car, electric or not, can do?

You can get on a horse, or horse-drawn carriage, completely wasted drunk out of your mind, or high, or just too tired to drive. Tell horse “home” and he will go to the stable he came from, dragging you with it all the way.

Horses consume no gasoline, no diesel, they just eat literal grass and drink tap water. And their shit is often packaged and sold as fertilizer.

How the fuck in the times of high energy prices, both gas and electricity, people are not just turning back to horses is beyond me. Horses are economically viable and sound, just grab the horses from working type, not sport type. Smarter than AI, calmer than Trump (and more reasonable), grass-to-fertilizer converter, biological motorbike.

Signs of AI Writing - just grab a book on corporate way of speaking/writing e-mails and you will find it exactly the same.

DuckDuckGo gains traffic not because it somehow gotten better recently.

Google entered heavy enshittification stage and honestly… it’s sad to watch.

Controlling something worthless is pointless anyway.

And giving it away to everyone will score political points.

You know they will agree and give everyone stakes exactly when bubble is about to pop
