The Dead Internet Theory posits online existence is fake. Articles we read, accounts we follow, content we consume—designed by AI to keep us clicking, scrolling, and buying. And... It might be right?In this episode you will:- Understand what the dead internet theory is.- Have the dead internet theory explained.- Finally understand the dead internet theory memes.

In this 251st in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.In this week's episode, we discuss how the Harris campaign spent their billion dollar war chest—including on celebrities who appeared to be endorsing her because they believed in her, but were actually getting paid. Also: $26 million was spent for “text message outreach,” any many people donated $10 or $20. It's reverse Robin Hood: stealing from the poor, to give to the rich. Related: how can we stay optimistic about unity, when we are seeing such different things? Finally: the New York Times finds a whole bunch of well-credential “experts” in nutrition to assure us that seed oils are excellent for your health. (They're not.) You have a choice: follow the science, or think scientifically for yourself, and actually be healthy.*****Our sponsors:Policygenius: Save time and money providing a financial safety net for your family.

Welcome to another Huge Niblet episode. And yes, it's a bit huge. (You saw the time stamp!) In the A segment, we discuss Hugh Nibley's 1969 diatribe titled Science Fiction and the Gospel as well as the article that likely triggered his rage induced lecture. Then we move into our penultimate Approaching Zion discussion. Following that, we have some excellent news about Gen Z women leaving religion.

Episode 3923: Potemkin Village Of Kamala Harris

Welcome to The Orthogonal Bet, an ongoing mini-series that explores the unconventional ideas and delightful patterns that shape our world. Hosted by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Samuel Arbesman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. In this episode, Samuel Arbesman speaks with John Strausbaugh, a former editor of New York Press and the author of numerous history books. John's latest work is the compelling new book “The Wrong Stuff: How the Soviet Space Program Crashed and Burned.” The book is an eye-opening delight, filled with stories about the Potemkin Village-like space program that the Soviets ran. Beneath the achievements that alarmed the United States, the Soviet space program was essentially a shambling disaster. The book reveals many tales that had been hidden from the public for years. In this conversation, Samuel explores how John became interested in this topic, the nature of the Soviet space program and the Cold War's Space Race, the role of propaganda, how to think about space programs more generally, and much more. Produced by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Christopher Gates⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠George Ko⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & Suno

The once-top-secret Soviet interceptor turned out to be a Potemkin Village of an airplane.

In this episode, Alex starts by giving some updates around more carnage in the Middle East. He also provides new reports that highlight the Islamic State being involved in the terror attacks that killed over 100 in Iran. Next, Alex argues that the 2024 GOP primary race is a Potemkin Village, meaning that the entire race is a facade, considering that Trump is almost certain to be the winner. Next, the New York Times has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The lawsuit highlights the growing conflict between journalism and artificial intelligence. Alex believes that AI is not inevitable, but can be useful; however, he also argues that the politics of inevitability should be treated with skepticism and organizations like the New York Times should challenge the growth of OpenAI and other companies. Finally, Alex reacts to the recent release of documents surrounding Jeffrey Epstein and his atrocious actions involving underaged girls.

AUDIO/VIDEO: Donald Trump on January 6th - I just spoke w/ Mike Pence, and I told him he has the authority to send the votes back to the states to re-certify. I did see a Capitol Hill cop shoot a woman at point blank range. I didn't see a completely violent insurrection. This was a mostly peaceful protest. There were of course some hoodlums. Why was there never a tape played during the Jan 6 Committee hearing of someone yelling “get him” to Senator Schumer? It didn't happen. Hillsborough Disaster 97 people died that day and 766 injuries - now THAT is a riot How many people died on January 6th? How many people were injured that day? AUDIO/VIDEO: McConnell on Tucker releasing video of January 6th - I think it was a mistake for Tucker Carlson to say and depict it as not being a violent, deadly insurrection. AOC Lied about January 6 - She has repeatedly said she feared for her life b/c of the very close encounter. What did her sexual assault have to do w/ January 6th? Representative Katie Porter said she had plenty of supplies in her office to sustain them. A Rep from California has supplies for a deadly insurrection? If you really look into AOC's story she was actually a block away. She wasn't even in the building where the people entered. They have redefined what a man is, what peaceful protest is and now what a riot is. When a crowd gets out of control and moves in a certain direction that is a riot. AUDIO/VIDEO: Tucker Carlson plays montage of corporate media losing their minds over the new Jan 6 footage he aired - This is just too hilarious to not assemble this montage. Potemkin Village - the Germans didn't build that you idiot! That was 100% Stalin, who is Russian. Then the Federal footage excuse - so we as the little American citizens we are shouldn't have access to that? Boondoggle - we don't need industry we just need money. It failed and everyone left. AUDIO/VIDEO: Anderson Cooper on CNN discussing Tucker - I find it hard to understand someone that has never been put into harms way but has the audacity to attempt to rewrite history on the most consequential events in American democracy.

The President showed up at the border yesterday for a Potemkin Village visit. One can only imagine what the border patrol agents who led him on the phony tour must have been thinking… The Biden Administration wants to ban gas stoves. Something about them causing pollution or asthma or global warming.  Dennis talks to Jennifer Sey, former executive at Levi Strauss and Co. Her new book is Levi's Unbuttoned: The Woke Mob Took My Job but Gave Me My Voice.  An obscure college in Minnesota achieves national infamy by firing a professor for showing a picture of Mohammed in an art book to her students… Dennis talks to Aldo Buttazzoni, new PragerU personality.  He attended a drag show at the LA Zoo.Thanks for listening to the Daily Dennis Prager Podcast.

 HEADLINE: It's Not Just Joe Biden. The United States Has A Potemkin Government by Joy Pullmann   What is a Potemkin Village?  “Potemkin village” arose in Russia to describe empty buildings set up as propaganda, to give a false impression of industry and life. The fake villages were intended to hide the regime's mass mismanagement and infliction of suffering upon its own people.  Potemkin as: “Sham, insubstantial; consisting of little or nothing behind an impressive facade.” VIDEO: Easter bunny appears to direct Biden away from Afghanistan question on White House lawn My state grants an entire month for early voting w/o a reason requirement.  Secession is not going to get you there folks. What exactly do we do? Disseminate, reorganize and to counter act. That is what we do. QUESTION: So why haven't we seen the food supply shortages we keep talking about? ANSWER: more people saw this coming and have been producing on their own thus helping the supply chain. Especially in the rural areas. You will see these shortages in the big cities though.

We have all had at one point or another complained about a gatekeeper. We know, deep down, that we can help this prospect do something amazing, but we cannot seem to get past the gate and speak to the person we need to. What if there is a better way? This episode in the workshop Red talks about how to not only get past Gatekeepers, but be happy you got them on the phone. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/brokensalespeople)

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Is Texas a “Potemkin Village” for conservatives? I don't think so but it is true that many of our chest-thumping “conservative” political leaders seem to favor words over action rejecting the great motto: Acta Non Verba. Critical Race Theory, or components of it, are in our schools and public institutions. Also parents not content to trust the “experts” are busy turning up grossly inappropriate books from our school libraries. I think the lesson is a reminder that depending upon politicians too much is utter folly and that real action always starts with plain citizens action – the politicians jump on the bandwagon once it's underway and getting attention.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.The oil and gas industry is beginning to turn the economic corner, adding jobs, adding drilling rigs, and digging firms out of near, or full, bankruptcy. But, what is the focus of Democrats and Biden? Putting the petroleum industry out of business completely.Those in positions of power had better wake up to the situation they put people in with vaccine mandates and similar. It is terribly dangerous to back people into corners from which they feel they have no alternative except to lash out for survival.And more news of Texas.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

Voice actors   In politics and economics, a Potemkin village is any construction (literal or figurative) whose sole purpose is to provide an external façade to a country that is faring poorly, making people believe that the country is faring better. The term comes from stories of a fake portable village built by Grigory Potemkin, former lover of Empress Catherine II, solely to impress the Empress during her journey to Crimea in 1787. While modern historians agree that accounts of this portable village are exaggerated, the original story was that Potemkin erected phony portable settlements along the banks of the Dnieper River in order to impress the Russian Empress; the structures would be disassembled after she passed, and re-assembled farther along her route to be viewed again as if another example.   Dead Internet Theory- what is it and why do we care?  Hello, welcome back once again to the Baked and Awake Podcast. I know it's been a few weeks since I read you all the story of The Smoky God, which if you missed it came back in September in two parts- but we are back together at the desk today to talk about a number of more contemporary matters, some of which I'm openly asking for your assistance with as regards fully understanding the matters described in the contents of one particular website I found recently while researching the initial topic, The Dead Internet Theory. Sounds awesome, doesn't it?  Dystopian even.  I'm sure there's an episode of Black Mirror about this out there somewhere, you know I never finished that particular anthology probably because it was all too believable to me, maybe. So, to explain a bit- the Dead Internet Theory seems to have come into existence just over the past year now online in forums like 4chan, reddit, and one much lesser known and truly unique community that I learned of called Agora Road, where threads discussing the extent of the theory have been written and heavily commented upon. Personally, I think I came across this on YouTube, where just a few but quite decent short pieces have been made on the topic, and I'll leave links to them below- and those videos sent me off a researching, including to a referenced recent journalistic piece written on The Dead Internet that was printed in The Atlantic back in August. I'll also be linking to the full article, but please be advised I believe The Atlantic only lets you read one or two articles per month without subscribing to the mag, so if you've just been bouncing off their website daily lately reading all their content like some kind of High falootin news addict, well you might just bump up against their paywall.  In that case I guess listen to me for a few more minutes then go find those videos in the description or show notes.  Long time listeners of the podcast will probably be well on their way already in terms of deducing what this is all about.  This theory is right in line with topics we have been talking about for years now here on the podcast, right?  Deepfakes, Artificial Intelligence, Pervasive Mass Surveillance and Social Engineering- Cybernetics, Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars. Those are all homework assignments for new listeners by the way.  Pretty much every phrase I just uttered there is a past show topic on one or more occasions, so feel free to dive into those archives because that's what they're there for, and every show I've ever produced includes a detailed show notes section with the resources I used to come up with the episode you're listening to.    And now, let's have a look at the think piece from The Atlantic to get a clear picture of what this dreadfully believable theory is all about. The piece was I think very well written by its creator, Kaitlyn Tiffany, so let's, shall we?    Former Colleague of mine from LinkedIn: Last summer googles results after the 5 or 6 item totally turned to garbage link bait, ripped and sliced diced sentence fragments that had logical meaning to the index but only negative net value. Especally frustrating if it was a technical paper that had citations, references to it were always to some sort of site that was craled and had its ip address in the results. Its gotten better, but it was a dark hole there for a while.   DEADGPK YT: I have only heard of it a few weeks ago as a full theory. Before there have been many things about AI being able to create things such as music, art and I believe there's an AI that even runs a YouTube channel. I have also looked into the digital influencers that have become popular or the years and they started around 2017 if i remember. While it's an interesting theory and definitely worth discussions, I'm not totally convinced it to the point of total AI take over. But it seems that it is definitely headed in that direction. Much of the interaction on social media seems manufactured to the point where you will see several accounts post the same exact thing. Bots are definitely used these days and it for the spread of misinformation imo.    Anecdotal from Nicole: Yesterday Nicole told me that she saw a post (likely on IG) that said something about “Conservatives are now waiting for Progressive accounts on Twitter to promulgate tweets that they know to be false out on the platform, and only when they know the meme has gained sufficient traction to maybe get to trending, they mass report the posts therefore often causing many people to be either suspended or banned from the platform.

A “Potemkin village” signifies any deceptive or false construct, conjured often by cruel regimes, to deceive both those within the land and those peering in from outside. Scarily familiar? We may be experiencing this in America right now, especially with the way truth is being purchased. In this episode, Bill Stierle and Tom dive deep into the stark similarities between how we are doing now and the Potemkin village. They then talk further about how the media is creating a Potemkin village for Donald Trump on a daily basis, especially now with the pandemic.

This is a short one.My cast has been removed.We went for a walk around the block because I CAN WALK AROUND THE BLOCK.IT’S A COVID MIRACLE, I CAN WALK!!!!Isabelle has an idea, why not build like a Potemkin Village type of deal for Trump. So he thinks he’s giving press conferences, he thinks he’s on twitter, he thinks he’s president, but he’s not! Good idea I think.Isabelle has done some yard work today.I was able to unstick the lock to the shed with bike lube, which was Isabelle’s idea, credit where it’s due.We saw a few people all keeping sensible distance. This included a family walking by with a small child who insisted on wearing her father’s boots. It was pretty great.

This Monday morning episode is full of anticipation about the possibilities of Brendon Todd going back-to-back on the PGA Tour. Brendan and Andy discuss the Mayakoba leaderboard with a few holes left to go on Monday morning. They also discuss Vaughn Taylor’s sweaty hat, why Mich Ultra would choose him to sponsor, the alcohol content of Mich Ultra, Zach Johnson playing ahead, Matt Kuchar’s bar tab for making an ace, and Brian Gay’s new car for doing the same. Andy is also extremely disappointed in the fan turnout, which prompts a conspiracy theory about crisis actors being shipped in and a Potemkin Village constructed for the Golf Channel cameras. Over on the European Tour, they discuss Tommy Fleetwood’s win at the Nedbank and the many close calls he’s had without a win over the last two years. Is he the British Rickie? The Assistant Pro National Championship also gets a shout out before a segment on some of the luckiest breaks from this weekend. News wraps with Russell Henley self-reporting his violation of the one-ball rule and some ranting on the merits of the rule.

Poursuivons notre exploration de la scène artistique genevoise après Laurent Bovier au Mamco, dans le même bâtiment nous retrouvons, Joerg Bader, directeur Centre de la photographie de Genève. Retour sur ses engagements, la place de l'art à Genève et sa vision du médium photographique, alors que s'ouvre, à partir du 27 février, au CPG l'exposition très remarquée à Arles cet été de Gregor Sailer, « the Potemkin Village ».

Elise and Dave pick up their Perez/Wolfman New Teen Titans reading series with issues #13 and #14 of the first volume - and find the going a little rough. And yet - the lettercols are alive with sound of praise for issue #8's "A Day in the Lives" and the creators promise to tack their narrative characterward from that point on. Thank X'Hal, because Gar turning into a murderous, misogynist dinosaur; Amazonian blood Olympics; Madame Rouge and General Zahl's accents; Mento's Linus-like devotion to his Mento Helmet; and the Potemkin Village setting of Zandia really aren't cutting it. Even the pre-Morrison Doom Patrol only helps so much. Dedicated to  "Rita! My god - Rita! The most beautiful actress who ever lived."    Audio Credits: Intro music: Debbie Harry - "Comic Books"

We're approaching the 100th day of Trump's presidency, and he's delivered very little of what he promised in his campaign. Will his presidency be all flash, no real substance? See Program Notes at my blog, posted about an hour before showtime, for all the stories, etc., I plan to discuss.
