DemocracyNow reporting on a AI generated argument between Sam Altman and Naomi Klein is where we are now. The internet is increasingly LLM content, and because it's so much easier to generate soon it will be, or maybe already is, the majority. That will discourage actual content creators to create and readers to read, advertisers to advertise and hosters to host. This is the path to the dead internet. https://youtu.be/BbcC-hp687M #AIslop #SamAltman #democracynow #Naomiklein #deadinternet

RE: https://universeodon.com/@redshiftdrift/117038375614051847 "Considerations must also be made with the possibility in mind that AI investments have created a bubble. Both in terms of a technical bubble, where technology does not function well enough to deliver the value claimed, and an economic bubble, where investors lose faith in AI companies and pull capital as investing becomes unsustainable." But then immediately goes on to list mediations for the deployment of a tech they themselves admit IT DOESNT WORK. I love how they ALL sidestep that 'innocuous' observation, oh and by the way, not unlike #NaomiKlein dismissing #ThomasPiketty as a fringe kook in two phrases scattered in her book. Then again, perhaps, like me and John Cage, they are actually eager to smash The System? Perhaps I should enthusiastically endorse them.

"“Digital Doppelgangers”: Naomi Klein Corrects the Record on Viral AI-Generated Quote (video) During Thursday’s segment about the risks of artificial intelligence, we shared a quote from author Naomi Klein that we later discovered was AI-generated. Klein has written about the proliferation of the fake quote on her Substack and joins Democracy Now! to discuss the growing difficulty of verifying online information. “These companies are creating digital doppelgangers of us, trying to monetize our identities,” says Klein. “One wonders how we’re ever going to get out of this house of mirrors unless companies are forced to label AI-generated work.”" https://www.democracynow.org/2026/7/31/naomi_klein_ai_quote #ai #NaomiKlein
