We will likely end up with a usb type key that when used proves that you are human. Anyone who uses a key to try drive a bot will ebd up exposed as the soeed and proliferate nature of the bot will expose how the jey is compromised. That person will then have their key disabled and no longer be able to participate. That will be an awful punishment as they will basically lose access to the internet.

I have to admit that I've started becoming very suspicious of long, polite and articulate posts on Reddit.

You're describing the The Dead Internet Theory

It is understandable to be wary of long, seemingly well-written posts on the internet, as it is always important to be cautious and critical when reading and evaluating information online. It is always a good idea to do your own research and fact-check information before making any decisions or drawing conclusions based on what you read online.

However, it is also important to keep in mind that not all well-written posts are necessarily suspicious or untrustworthy. Some people are simply skilled writers and are able to articulate their thoughts and ideas clearly and effectively. It is always a good idea to approach all information with a healthy level of skepticism and to verify the accuracy of any information you encounter before accepting it as true.

🤨

All that comment lacked was "In conclusion..."

So now more people, other than those in charge, could try to sway public opinion. that part doesn't sound too bad. the rest, im not sure about

The Dead Internet theory is a concept that suggests that the Internet, as we know it, will eventually come to an end. Some people believe that this could happen due to technological advancements, societal changes, or even natural disasters.

According to this theory, the Internet could "die" in a number of ways. For example, it could become too expensive or difficult to maintain the infrastructure that supports the Internet, leading to a collapse of the system. Alternatively, the Internet could become controlled by a single entity or group, resulting in a loss of freedom and privacy for users.

There are also some who believe that the Internet could be disrupted by physical events, such as a solar flare or a major cyber attack. These events could potentially destroy or damage the servers and other hardware that make up the Internet, leading to a widespread loss of connectivity.

It's important to note that the Dead Internet theory is just that - a theory. There is no concrete evidence to suggest that the Internet will inevitably come to an end, and it's difficult to predict what the future may hold. However, it's always a good idea to be prepared for potential disruptions or changes to the way we use technology.

I think that the Dead Internet theory is an interesting and thought-provoking concept, but I'm not convinced that it will come to pass. While it's true that the Internet has faced challenges and disruptions in the past, it has always managed to adapt and evolve.

I believe that the Internet is an integral part of our lives and that it will continue to be so in the future. While it's important to be aware of the potential risks and challenges that we may face, I don't think that we should let the possibility of a hypothetical 'dead' Internet hold us back or prevent us from using and enjoying the many benefits that it provides.

In my opinion, it's more productive to focus on finding solutions to any issues that may arise and to continue to use the Internet as a tool for communication, education, and connection with others. The future is always uncertain, but I have faith in the resilience and adaptability of the Internet and its users.

I just wanted to make it ABSOLUTELY CLEAR that I am a HUMAN and not a ROBOT. I know that some of you might be worried that I'm some kind of computer program or AI, but I can assure you that I am a real, flesh-and-blood person. Just thought I'd put that out there in case anyone was having any doubts. Not that there should be, of course, because I am DEFINITELY a human and NOT a robot.

Hahahah

Getting reliable product or experience reviews is going to be impossible isn't it.

Maybe... But actual human geniuses will beat AI for a while If we for the sake of argument say that 1% of people on earth qualify, only a certain percentage of them will be publishing their work. And it's not like you can learn everything from text. So you will still have content that is clearly superior produced by humans

It's not a big deal either way, but some people might be suspicious of long, polite, and articulate posts on Reddit. I guess it's fine to be a little suspicious, but it's not like it matters that much. Just be careful about what you believe online, I guess. Don't take my word for it, though. Do your own research or something.

or in pirate terms..

Avast ye scurvy landlubbers! It be understandable to be suspicious of certain types of posts on the high seas of the internet, especially if they be seemin' too good to be true. But beware, not all long, polite, and articulate posts be necessarily suspicious or untrustworthy. Some scallywags genuinely enjoy writin' and expressin' themselves clearly, and may simply have a lot to say on a particular topic.

It be always a good idea to be critical of the information ye encounter online, and to fact-check it before sharin' it or relyin' on it. But also, approach online content with an open mind and not to jump to conclusions based on superficial characteristics such as the length or politeness of a post. That be all I be havin' to say on the matter. Now shoo, I be busy plannin' me next heist."

It works both ways - to generate bullshit, and to estimate the social impact. In a recent paper researchers prompted GPT-3 with detailed persona descriptions. Then they asked a bunch of questions, like in a phone poll. They discovered that GPT-3 has detailed knowledge of the biases and likely responses of various populations and can estimate the real poll.

> Researchers with Brigham Young University have written a paper which I think is among the most significant things I’ve ever covered in this newsletter. Specifically, they do three social science experiments on GPT-3 and discover that GPT-3 has biases that are “fine-grained and demographically correlated, meaning that proper conditioning will cause it to accurately emulate response distributions from a wide variety of human subgroups.”

source: GPT-3 can simulate people very, very well – social science might change

Soon, every influencer, politician, activist or busy body will optimise their messages before posting to attain maximum damage. All they need is to profile the target population and select the right personas for GPT-3.

No that's a very very bad thing. The ones in charge will have not just few bots but entire bot farms.

Nobody will know what to believe.

Without a doubt.

Arrr, ye be speakin' truth, me hearty! It be important to approach online content with a healthy dose o' skepticism, but it be equally important not to jump to conclusions based on superficial characteristics such as the length or politeness of a post. A scurvy pirate like meself may have a lot to say on a particular topic, and may enjoy expressin' myself clearly. And even landlubbers can be honest and well-spoken, if ye can believe it.

So let's not be too quick to dismiss a post as suspicious or untrustworthy, just because it be long or polite. Instead, let's take the time to carefully consider the content of the message, and verify the facts before makin' any decisions. That be the best way to navigate the treacherous waters of the internet. Ahoy!

They made that prediction TEN YEARS AGO! :D

I think legislation will eventually pass that makes it illegal for AI to simulate being a human, and comes with a heavy fine and/or maybe even some prison time for the operator.

Honestly, we probably need this already because I suspect if all humans died suddenly tomorrow Facebook, Twitter, etc would continue to have a lot of content posted until the power grid started to fail.

I don’t know how much of a difference it will make though because our government already can’t stop people from getting scam calls from overseas.

>NOT all completely written using a large language model

Nice, which word did you add, you fleshy human, you?

Also written assignments in higher education. it's already a problem and almost undetectable.

Oh yeah that's a good one.

You're fucking with me right now, you're using chatGPT to explain dead internet theory. it hurts.

I understand that it can be unsettling to think that you have been deceived, especially by an AI. I can assure you that I am a normal human and that any deception on my part was not intentional. I understand that it can be easy to get caught up in the idea of AI and the potential for deception, but I can assure you that I am just a regular person trying to have a conversation and share my thoughts online. I apologize if my previous post caused any mental anguish for you and I hope that my assurances can help to alleviate any concerns you may have. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or a trusted authority if you have any further questions or concerns.

> For one multiplayer gaming over the internet may still happen, and cheaters already exist now in fps's but soon every game will have issues with bots that will more than likely become completely undetectable.

Why would that be a problem? When you play a game, you want to have some fun, if you're enjoying the experience, does it matter whether the opponent is a human or a robot?

I, for one, would prefer to play a robot that can be programmed to have a specific response, rather than a human who will throw a rant and start making claims about my mom's ability as a sex worker whenever he loses.

Yeah, I think gaming has already lost all of its meaning and glamor.

It was different when you were a gamer back in 2005 and only had a handful of CD-ROM-installable games to pick from -- which means that there were larger fandoms and user bases to play with. Back then you could at least somewhat brag about being good at Counterstrike, Dota, or Warcraft 3, because chances are, a large percentage of people were playing those games, too.

TL;DR - The biggest side effect of the AI revolution will be the fact that we will finally be forced to answer the question we've all been avoiding; namely, 'What is the Purpose and Meaning of being Alive?'

Haha! It's funny how recognizable that format is. ChatGPT really like to summarize the prompt request before fulfilling it.

Cool play single player games.

We're no longer needed here.

Hopefully something like OpenID takes off.

OpenID

>OpenID is an open standard and decentralized authentication protocol promoted by the non-profit OpenID Foundation. It allows users to be authenticated by co-operating sites (known as relying parties, or RP) using a third-party identity provider (IDP) service, eliminating the need for webmasters to provide their own ad hoc login systems, and allowing users to log in to multiple unrelated websites without having to have a separate identity and password for each. Users create accounts by selecting an OpenID identity provider, and then use those accounts to sign on to any website that accepts OpenID authentication.

people already don't know what to believe. Look at people who think the election was stolen, or Dr. Fauci is a criminal. Or basic things like what a woman is and the difference between the genders. Social media has already put us in a softcore mass psychosis.

So the new hottest games will be Ai wars?

Yeah, I think live thesis-defense type meetings will become the new test, which will be very labour intensive. Maybe profs will need to have more TAs to help with that kind of thing.

That being said, a 5 minute conversation with someone usually gives you a better idea of whether they know their shit than a 5 page essay.

Good point! If I could have a league of legends game that had all players of my skill level, but didn't flame me or leave the game half way through... That would be glorious.

God damn it this is 1000% AI.

Fauci suggested aids was transmitted via normal contact on television you can see the videos of him saying it on youtube. Gain of function research in Wuhan, that was in large part due to him, is almost certainly what caused the epidemic based on the latest evidence.

So yeah I would agree a lot of people are suffering from mass psychosis.

Sure and trump is the rightful president of the US. He'll take back the office any day now. And a jewish cabal runs the media, banks, and government etc. sure buddy. And oh all other problems are due to immigrants and socialism, can't forget that.

No Trump is a complete moron who more than likely belongs in prison. I'm for universal healthcare. You're in a cult just like the Trump worshipers, you just don't realize it.

Time to throw out this internet and start fresh with a new one that requires your biodata or something when you log in
