Oh, so dead internet is, in fact, the plan. Wonderful.

[-] mrmisses@lemmy.world 157 points 4 months ago

Yeah but it happened a year earlier than planned!

Ahead of schedule you say? The shareholders will be thrilled!

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 14 points 4 months ago

*the shareholders do not use said Internet, themselves.

[-] BNE@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 4 months ago

Typical. Fuck it up for someone other than themselves.

[-] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 39 points 4 months ago

Yup. Followed by the AI surveillance state. The Stasi has been digitized and never sleeps!

You know, god bless the bots because they're probably soaking up at least some watts of surveillance.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 4 months ago

except now they get useless data because they now just datamine bots, who are datamining each other.

[-] nosuchanon@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

That’s what digital ID is for! To correlate the real humans activity. The Flock video surveillance can then be linked to your real world movements along with digital currency to track your buying habits! Your phone and wireless earbuds to listen for keywords a rat you out to the government! What a wonderful utopia!

Feeling free yet?

Well since everything is so affordable I’ll happily accept this police state…

[-] quarkquasar@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Good thing I don't go anywhere, do anything, or talk to anyone.

[-] judgyweevil@feddit.it 13 points 4 months ago

It's not totally dead, as the Paris catacombs are not totally dead if there are a couple of tourists

[-] oce@jlai.lu 2 points 4 months ago

As well as unofficial "tourists".

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

TIL: Turns out ReptilianCleric is the only actual human left on the Internet. Beep boop bop

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 4 months ago

Harambe was the focal point of turn of events.

[-] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 3 points 4 months ago

The Internet is pretty fucked, we might as well just call it and go home. Oh wait

[-] FoxtrotDeltaTango@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

We might need to create a new internet at this point

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 months ago

One internet, yes. But what about second internet?
