Here lies the internet, murdered by generative AI | Corruption everywhere, even in YouTube's kids content
(www.theintrinsicperspective.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I think we have to try harder to find good content these days. AI, whilst continuing this, did not start it. The masses becoming 'online' started this. More nonsense got posted because everybody thought that every one else should hear their voice, and what they had for breakfast, and how their little toe bends slightly differently to their fourth toe.
It's just become over populated.
The fediverse feels quite nice to me because it isn't so populated yet. People don't seem to be screaming over eachother so much.
Believe it or not, this is what the internet felt like for the most part prior to 2005 or so. I just don’t think there are chat rooms anymore.
There are, but they're hosted on Discord now. It's pretty much entirely taken over that niche.
I miss IRC.
