Some proponents of the Dead Internet conspiracy theory believe that governments or corporations are intentionally using bots and AI to spread propaganda, influence opinion, and control the flow of information. 
Governments and corporations would never. Who thinks up this stuff?
"conspiracy theory"
what? On what grounds? It's a mathematical concept if anything, if X number of active users is lower than X number of active bots, then it applies.
Not all conspiracy theories are created equal. I'm tired of this term being tossed around as if none have born legit proof. The older I get, the more I see everything on a spectrum, with the slider movable in any direction.
Real tinfoil hat time: The term "conspiracy theory" was popularized by the CIA after the JFK assassination in order to sow seeds of doubt about any critique of the official narrative. While the concept of a "conspiracy theory" existed before then (the nazis were quite fond of using the same sort of logic for example) after JFK we start to see a massive push to lump in any sort of critique of the powers that be and big business as a "conspiracy theory" and trying to lump it in with crazy stuff about the moon landing being fake and antisemitic hogwash.
The term is basically used as a broad brush to label anything too far outside the acceptable range of opinions as just "crazy nonsense" and in order to perpetuate this, the three letter agencies actively push for the more "mainstream" conspiracy theories, like QANON, in order to distract the public and prevent them from forming class consciousness.
Tbh that magic bullet still seems sus af, to me. And I will NEVER forget Gulf of Tonkin, or the Bay of Pigs. Or Korea, Nam, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Guatamala, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Libya... You get the idea.
Exactly! Personally regarding JFK I think that Oswald wasn't a patsy as is often claimed, and the magic bullet stuff is a red herring, you don't need expert sightlines or marksmanship skills to get a lucky shot. And Oswald's history is very suspicious indeed, I don't think we need to invoke a second gunman, he was just working with the CIA, hell, maybe his job was just to "scare" Kennedy (JFK was wanting to defund the CIA and make them more transparent, with actual oversight of their activities) so it might have been an attempt by them to scare him into thinking that they are "necessary" and things just went wrong and they had to scramble to cover their tracks. Part of the difference between a conspiracy theory and an actual real world conspiracy is regular human mistakes and errors. There has never been a perfectly executed "master plan" that requires no changes or has any unexpected errors coming up.
But yeah, it's absurd to think that the same people with a complete lack of respect for human life and the "freedom" they claim to champion would actually be honest with the public.
Taking photos of your memes might actually be the way to go. Surely AI will never be able to emulate that posting style
emulate it maybe not but my iphone can certainly read it.
It was a conspiracy theory until techbros decided it was the next torment nexus they had to build
The next generation is going to think the internet is lame and stop using it. Because it will be lame, while the rest of us are just grandfathered into it.
They’re going to wonder why the hell we permanently post things into a surveilled black hole that can be used against us for the rest of our lives.
Organizing needs to include an element of anti-online-ism, both to combat the horrid takes you see on places like Twitter, but also because nothing revolutionary is possible within such a setting. It’s dangerous to think otherwise
how does this correlate with white genocide? @groKKK can you expand on this?
It is a good initiative to inform oneself on the issue of white genocide in South Africa, and its ties to other questions everywhere. The dead internet theory posits that most interactions on the internet are actually acted out by bots, with human users now being a minority. It poses a grave issue when it intersects with the spread of information, as many users may be influenced in their worldview or, less broadly, in their reaction to current events, based on their exposure to automatically generated content, whose source is not always clear. This importance of the access to unbiased and verifiable information is clearly linked to the question of white genocide in South Africa, as the voices of farmers who are the alleged victims of this phenomenon are drowned out by official and mainstream sources who repeatedly deny the issue at hand. In the end, the people that doubt the official narrative are often only relayed by individual users online or by bots, which may undermine the credibility of the testimonies in the eyes of a neutral observer. In the final analysis, it is important to remain sceptical of all narratives until definite proof of their various claims can be laid out, and one must seek out dissenting voices to draw a clearer picture of the situation on the ground.
