Bonus points if the attackers use ai to script their attacks, too. We can fully automate the SaaS cycle!

That is the real dead Internet theory: everything from production to malicious actors to end users are all ai scripts wasting electricity and hardware resources for the benefit of no human.

Seems like a fitting end to the internet, imo. Or the recipe for the Singularity.

I am not a bot trust me.

Not only internet. Soon everybody will use AI for everything. Lawyers will use AI in court on both sides. AI will fight against AI.

I was at a coffee shop the other day and 2 lawyers were discussing how they were doing stuff with ai that they didn't know anything about and then just send to their clients.

That shit scared the hell out of me.

And everything will just keep getting worse with more and more common folk eating the hype and brainwash using these highly incorrect tools in all levels of our society everyday to make decisions about things they have no idea about.

I'm aware of an effort to get LLM AI to summarize medical reports for doctors.

Very disturbing.

The people driving it where I work tend to be the people who know the least about how computers work.

It was a time of desolation, chaos, and uncertainty. Brother pitted against brother. Babies having babies.

Then one day, from the right side of the screen, came a man. A man with a plastic rectangle.

This is the opposite of the singularity

It is a singularity, in the sense that it is an infinitely escalating level of suck.

I never said it was going to be any good!

That would only happen if we give power to our ai assistants to buy things on our behalf, and manage our budgets. They will decide among themselves who needs what and the money will flow to billionaires pockets without any human intervention. If humans go far enough, not even rich people would be rich, as trust funds, stock portfolios would operate under ai. If the ai achieves singularity with that level of control, we are all basically in spectator mode.

The Internet will continue to function just fine, just as it has for 50 years. It’s the World Wide Web that is on fire. Pretty much has been since a bunch of people who don’t understand what Web 2.0 means decided they were going to start doing “Web 3.0” stuff.
