Dimes and Judas discuss a government plot to dim the sun with chemtrails, the Pope being assassinated by JD Vance, and our alleged arrival at the Dead Internet Theory tipping point. After a brief investigation into the Acceleration Research Consortium, they descend into a review of “Drug Cartels Do Not Exist” by Oswaldo Zavala. Presented is an anti-neoliberal-capitalist analysis of the Mexica drug war based on the supposition that cartels are a security state invention to justify the status quo. Lastly on this edition of The Copepranos Society, Dimes returns to The Carousel to speak with Disgraced Propagandist about the Vanguardist Journal article “Winning Was Never Enough,” first principles, and mass migration.

In this episode of No Hacks, host Sani is joined by technical SEO strategist Anne Berlin to explore one of the most disturbing and fascinating topics on the web today: the Dead Internet Theory. Is most of what we see online actually created by bots, for bots? What happens when the web becomes a wasteland of AI-generated slop and abandoned digital ruins? Anne draws on her extensive experience analyzing crawl logs, server stats, and digital infrastructure to reveal how bot traffic is outpacing real users, and what that means for the future of human-centric content.If you've ever wondered why the web feels “off” these days, this one's for you.

Gregor und Fritz analysieren das Phänomen des "KI-Slop", diskutieren wie künstliche Influencer mit Millionen Followern unser Verständnis von Authentizität verändern und fragen, ob die "Dead Internet Theory" längst Realität geworden ist.

Is the internet still the chaotic, human-powered space we remember, or has it been quietly taken over by AI, bots, and scripted interactions? In this episode of Let's Talk Social, we dive into the Dead Internet Theory—the idea that much of today's online content isn't created by real people, but by artificial intelligence and algorithms shaping our digital experiences.We explore the rise of bots, the decline of organic communities, and what this could mean for the future of social media. Is this just another tech conspiracy, or is there something to it? Tune in to find out—and maybe question that comment section a little more carefully.

**Discussion begins at 5:00**Today, we are deep diving into one of the most mysterious theories of the 21st century: The Dead Internet Theory.  With the growing influence of AI, many people believe that the internet is slowly dying – not in a technical sense, but in terms of human interaction and creativity.  Have we reached the inversion point?  This is the point at which point the platforms have shifted from human creator driven to a system where bots, algorithms, or even AI tools are the ones responsible for generating the majority of content.  In their pursuit of profitability and user engagement, did platforms begin to rely too much on algorithms to curate content, automate interactions, and even generate videos based on trends?  Is the internet, as we know it, already dead, or is it merely transitioning into something unrecognizable? Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

Is the internet already dead? TheDead Internet Theory suggests that most online content is now generated byAI, bots, and government-controlled algorithms—not real people. Are we trapped in afake, manipulated web designed to control what we see, think, and believe? In this shocking episode ofConspiracy Files, we break down theevidence, hidden agendas, and eerie signs that the internet might not be as real as we think. If this theory is true, what does it mean for our future? Tune in and decide for yourself!Connect with The Conspiracy Files Podcast:

AI is contributing the vast majority of content on the internet right now. What happens when trying to find human-created content feels like looking for a needle in a haystack?

Leaving her with $46. I told her that I was paid $4 more than her. She explained I could just give her $4 next time I saw her. I said that would not solve the problem!! Why?

There's a conspiracy theory that most of the activity on the internet is actually generated by bots (robots) and AI. But hey wait a minute -- this theory was originally POSTED on the internet, so maybe a bot wrote it?? This week, we (two human men who are definitely NOT bots) discuss.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Is the Dead Internet Theory real? Seems like Facebook is trying to make it happen. They've created AI accounts to engage with people, complete with bios and "family photos." Facebook is creating AI-generated profiles to attract younger users, potentially deceiving advertisers and users about genuine engagement. The "dead internet theory" suggests most online activity is from computers and fake accounts, not real people. Meta's AI profiles raise concerns about online safety, harassment, and misinformation due to unclear labeling and management. Advertisers may be paying for ads viewed by AI-generated accounts rather than real users, leading to potential scams. Meta's lack of transparency about the number of active AI profiles on their platforms fuels uncertainty about genuine user interactions. The experiment with AI-generated profiles was initially a 2023 test but was deleted, leaving questions about remaining undisclosed AI accounts.

Are we in the midst of the greatest UFO Flap that has ever occurred worldwide or quite simply is it drones. The paradox here lies in the fact of its timing in synchronicity with “The Dead Internet Theory”. There is now more clear footage yet as open AI becomes more predominant how do we know its real and not artificially generated!Link to Jaymezhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RCgw_02mlE&t=653s&ab_channel=JaymezLink to Love and Anarchy Jay and Aspasia's Docohttps://vimeo.com/154920107

VYS0045 | This Is Not The End Times; This Is A Rescue Mission - Vayse to Face with Bob Cluness - Show Notes Even more bewildered than usual, Hine and Buckley welcome writer, researcher, academic and DJ, Bob Cluness to Vayse. Bob's areas of interest include cultural studies, aesthetics, phenomenology, film studies, the weird and the eerie. Hine and Buckley nod along and try to keep up as Bob showers them in interconnecting concepts and fascinating insights with torrential force: What is hyperstition? Who were the CCRU? How does accelerationism work? Was Chaos Magick a revolutionary movement or an emanation of the emerging neoliberal capitalist system of the time? And exactly what is Nick Land's problem...

With the influx of AI running rapid across the internet, what is this going to do to it as a tool or cultural space? In this essay, I explore the concept of the 'Dead Internet Theory,' which posits that a significant portion of online content is generated by bots rather than humans. Is this valid? If so what are the implications on online interactions, trust in content, and the rise of AI-generated material, including deepfakes. Because if this is the case, we have difficulty discerning real from fake information and the potential for a future where trusted sources become increasingly valuable in navigating the digital landscape.
