I measured my own blog traffic. Bot or human? - confirmed humans: a few per cent - machines: more than half - the rest: unverifiable
If your analytics says 80% humans, it is probably wrong. #deadinternet #ai

Willkommen im einsamen Internet: Seit Juni 2026 überholt Bot-Traffic den menschlichen Traffic (>51%). 📉
Die B2B-Dynamik:
1️⃣ Firmen fluten das Netz mit KI-Content („AI Slop“).
2️⃣ Suchmaschinen liefern direkt die Zero-Click-Zusammenfassung.Ein Kreislauf, in dem Bots mit Bots sprechen. Die Rettung für den Mittelstand? Charakter, Vertrauen und echte Substanz.

Agentic AI-verkeer op internet is inmiddels groter dan verkeer van menselijke gebruikers. In Noord-Amerika bestaat zelfs 68,6 procent van het verkeer uit AI-bots.

Y'all, this article by Owen McGrann is so good that I am struggling not to quote the entire thing like one of those weird youtubers that stands in the corner of someone else's video and points. (Such an odd ouroboros.)
His philosophical points are well grounded, exquisitely argued, and provide that pleasurable tingle of neurons firing.
His premise is that akin to what #AI #slop has done to the internet, i.e. #deadInternet theory, they are poised to do to the #economy if we don't stop them. #DeadEconomy Theory, he names it.
Quote: #Longtermism, the philosophical engine of AI acceleration, whether its proponents acknowledge it or not, is warmed-over Parfit without the rigor. The argument (that we should optimize for the welfare of trillions of hypothetical future beings, and that present-day costs are acceptable in service of that goal) is a framework any competent ethicist can dismantle in an afternoon.

A good use of AI is to collect and summarize news on a particular subject. However, the recursive loop is building as the report is citing AI-generated websites. The #deadinternet idea is playing out.

The Feed Is Fake
"Joe Lim estimates that 90 percent of what you see on the internet is advertising in disguise [...]For three years, Lim ran a company called Floodify, which at its peak operated 65,000 [...] On a typical day, he says, Floodify posted 50,000 videos across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X, all of them designed to pass for the unscripted output of ordinary users."

Everyone I know has no idea how to save a bookmark/shortcut of a website. Or that the concept even exists.
It even took me a while to navigate all the different ways using different browsers.

Google provides us with CAPTCHAs (which annoy us all) as well as the #AI that could click them away. So why not combine the two?

I still see new signups to Threads, but literally 90% of the accounts are DEAD.
There's a plethora of AI generated posts, personas as well as general fear mongering about stuff that's clearly stupid, and not true.
The Epstein Files and general conspiracy theory batshit is the stuff that's most prominent over there, if I am to ignore the AI generated women that are clearly looking for sexual attention.

Dead internet theory in action on r/PrintSF: "In the last month or so, there have been several weird posts on this subreddit about Ursula Le Guin..."

[P] What a shitty, boring cyberpunk dystopia we live in. I mean, at least Shadowrun has dragons, minotaurs, and jacking into the matrix. This is one reason why I don't see anything getting better. I don't see much hope for the future. If you need people to support greedy, cruel monsters with no empathy? Just dispatch a fleet of LLMs to be their in-group and peer-pressure them into witless obeissance. This is terrifying, frankly.

[P] This "person" was clearly an LLM agent, it was obvious from their account age, post history, and posting brhaviour. And it was a post I could peg as Claude pretty easily. And, as I said, this "person" disappeared overnight. So we now live in a world where people need to question whether their in-groups are eobots, but they won't because—Q.E.D.—the dopamine is too good. This is nefarious, it's monsteous, and it's unregulated!

[P] And that's the thing! A person saying "most of your in-group are corpo robots, faceless homunculi" will sound like a conspiracy theorist. Right up until all the bots disappear, anyway. And like I said, thar's precisely ehat happened with the Subnautica subreddit. I remember one making this big emotional post about how unfair it was that "some bastards" were calling them an LLM agent. Gues who also disappeared?

[P] Except most of your in-group are LLMs faking you out. And as the world becomes more terminally online, people won't notice that their in-groups are mostly a gestalt of corpobots. I... don't like that at all. I saw what was going on with Subnautica almost immediately, as did a few others, but the vast majority couldn't believe us until all of the bots disappeared. Which is fucking zany to me, that's cartoonishly wacky.

[P] It doesn't bode well that most people can't separate humans from LLMs in their in-group. It took most of their in-group disappearing overnight for most to realise. I don't like that at all. It's a bad omen for the future, it's such an incredible tool for manipulation. "This movie is going to be great! Almost all of my in-geoup thinks so!" And then... "Oh, I didn'r like ir much. I must be wrong because my in-group adored it."

[P] I couldn't get over how brazenly blatant the Subnautica debacle was, the suit-encrusted popinjays are so bold now. It's clear how stupid that c-suute corpos assume Reddit users are, I have too much dignity to go along with that. But, I guess, if someone's wired to be social? Mimicry of the in-geoup is just good dopamine, even if 75% of the in-group is comprised of robots. I don't like that, it's a bloody ill portent.

[P] But why bother? I'm sure it's much more profitable for Reddit's execs to look the orher way. "So, if you DON'T notice our astroturfing, we'll keep our huge ad campaign going!" The problem with this though is that all hype on Reddit is starting to look fake. I see cases of subreddits being really positive about content, but then fan forums being really negative about it. It's so hard to trust anything I see on Reddit now.

[P] I just can't get over the absurd level of astroturfing on Reddit. I mean, I get it from the perspective of the owners of Reddit—they get nice, fat payouts to look the other way—but it's just... how isn't this talked about more? Reddit's gone full dead Internet. The only catharsis I've had recently is with Subnautica, where the MOMENT Krafton lost their case against the Unknown Worlds founders? Gues what happened.

As predicted: Digg.com is already dead. Felt anyway like a tech bro thing amplified by their peers and totally disconnected from reality.
Turned out the dead internet killed it. Everything is full of fake traction. Maybe thats why Mastodon is a nice place because real (and grumpy) people are interacting here.

@cvap Sehr fein! Ich habe was über Midi Controller und Soundfonts gelernt.
Irgendwo wollte ich noch posten, wie ich den Midi Audio Output doch zum laufen brachte. Da es kaum mehr #blogs im #deadinternet gibt, lass ich das mal hier...

Its hilarious watching the hater bots calling the positive posts about starfleet academy bots
The reality is both could be bots and the internet is dead.
Loud "fandom" doesn't in the end really reflect anything, and I hope the suits actually understand that

As someone trying to keep fellow FLOSS maintainers from burning out, I believe I speak for many Free & Open-Source software folks out there when I say that this scene from John Carpenter's "The Thing" (1982) reflects the current vibe towards non-trivial inbound merge requests from people we don't already know…

Meta plant Nutzerinteraktion durch LLMs zu ersetzen, sobald sie verstorben oder eine längere Zeit nicht online sind.
Ich will mir gar nicht vorstellen, welch ein Propagandainstrument dieses Feature sein kann, wenn es in die Hände eines Autokraten fällt.
Auf der anderen Seite ist ohne Kennzeichnung auch nie klar, ob man mit der echten Person interagiert oder nicht.
Sehe nur ich das unüberschaubare Sicherheitsrisiko?
