PhysicsForums and the Dead Internet Theory [old specialized forums have started backdating millions of LLM-generated posts]
An exposé no one will read, about the widespread falsification of user posts in PhysicsForums, a scientific community founded in 2001. This is a microcosm of the death of the human-written Internet.

Oh God...
I remember first reading Dead Internet and 'wow this is some high grade vaguely antisemetic conspiricy bullshit here'
And now...
I live in an America where one of the major political parties has people doing the fucking nazi salute and corruption is talked about as if it were normal with dissenting voices dismissed as crankery.
At this point if the Ai thinks we should be exterminated? I've no counter-argument that is based outside of a desire to want to live....

People's right to self-determination over their lives maybe? This is no better than the fascists wanting to kill whatever their "undesirable" minoroty of the day is.
Thanks.
Just... in a very pessimistic frame of mind.
I have this post to offer: https://www.tumblr.com/avidcollectorofdust/776146560975339520
“Humans are inherently selfish--" Then why do so many cultures value hospitality, to the point of dictating it in their religions? Why is it so common for hosts to offer their visitors their best food, and as much of it as they can? At some point, multiple cultures decided that they knew what it felt like to be alone and vulnerable, and promised each other to never let those who stay with them feel that way. That doesn't sound very "inherently selfish" to me.
"humans are the plague"
No. Humans are animals as much as the fish and the bear. We are pack animals who have survived by strong bonds and community.
Do not buy the lie that humans are inherently evil. Societies can trick you into believing this, but it's not the truth of humanity.
Humans crave being together, sharing together, and thriving together.
Capitalism just wants you to believe we're destined for selfishness.

You are awesome. Thanks
Anti sematic behaviour is unfortunately part of the internet and general historical data, which means it could very well be an undercurrent in training data. AIs then could exhibit subconscious biases, no matter how many times the creators tell them not to be racist.
Nono, the theory most people hear is the one about AI taking over. I read the original post with the theory written there devolving into this big giant global conspiricy where (coded language for jewish shadow government) is profiting off of everyone because of the AI takeover.
The idea that human contnet is getting croweded out, that part i absolutely buy.
See I don't follow that one, because how are they actually making money in this theory?
In the real world the ai bullshit is just another grift that's a giant money pit. While I recognise people that follow these kinds of theories probably don't have critical thinking skills, I wish they would following thinking to it's conclusion. It's a stupid hope I know.
That's where most of the secret new cabal theories fall apart.
