We all migrate to smaller websites try not to post outside drawing attention just to hide from the "Ai" crawlers. The internet seems dead except for the few pockets we each know existed away from the clankers

Cyberpunk as a literary genre, and the Cyberpunk TTRPG in specific, are incredibly prophetic. In the Cyberpunk TTRPG (which predates the WWW), "the net" is eventually condemned (as in boarded up) because of AI and ia replaced by silo'd networks (think extended intranets).

    And of course in Cyberpunk the ttrpg setting much of the o0en internet was rendered useless by self replicating AI malware hijacking storage, processing, and bandwidth due to a zero day exploit discovered by one egomaniacal hacker.
