  6. "The #deadinternettheory has floated around internet forums since the 2010s, and the idea that the internet is dominated by non-human activity was often dismissed as a fringe conspiracy. Now it has become a measurable fact. Not only do multiple cybersecurity firms agree that bots outnumber humans online, they likewise are struggling to answer when the flip happened or what metrics to use to measure it.
    CloudFlare, the Internet security and performance giant used by millions of websites worldwide, says the crossover occurred in June, with bots generating 57.5% of webpage requests. Thales, a French tech group that protects data security for organizations and governments, dates the crossover back to 2023, issuing a “Bad Bot Report” that put bot traffic at 53% in 2026.”

  11. Remember, kids:

    In proper scientific terms, an attempt to explain observable phenomena is called a "hypothesis".

    It is called a "theory" when it fits all the observable facts, and there is no observable evidence to the contrary. We don't call it a "truth" because there's always a chance that it might be overturned by later evidence - but as far as science is concerned, a "theory" is as hard as it gets.

    This is often confusing to people who dismiss science they don't like as "it's just a theory". But this distinction should be kept in mind when discussing things like the "Theory of Evolution", "Theory of Relativity", "Global Warming Theory", and "Dead Internet Theory".

    The discrepancies reflect that there’s no one standard way to measure bot traffic, as no single provider has access to activity across the entire web, according to Rudy Yang, Pitchbook’s enterprise and retail fintech analyst who wrote the firm’s July report about agentic AI traffic.

    “There’s a lot of missing pieces of information, but a lot of the observed data suggests the same thing, which is like there is more bot activity,” Yang told Fortune. “Agentic AI activity is driving a lot of the browser activity you’re seeing.”"

  36. Promised an age of superconnectivity, we’ve let our shared physical spaces wither, only to find our promised digital commons to be one large billboard increasingly read and created by bots.

    .. so begins this thought provoking article..
    .. and they go further..

    Every investor presentation of an AI agent “doing the work of ten analysts” is telling you the same thing: the product is labor replacement. The gentler language (”copilot,” “assistant,” “augmentation”) is marketing. The financial model underneath requires the elimination of human cost centers at civilizational scale

    AI slop channels are becoming more common and getting unfair advantages over real creators, thus confirming the dead internet theory. Not only that, but that shit just ruins the platform altogether.

    Also, not to mention that there is literally no human moderation left. Dead platform, dead internet.
