dead internet theory, came to pass, and then all humans ran their own bot farm agents.. nobody actually used the internet directly anymore. it became all about how good of an agent you could afford, to interact with the online world. using the internet directly would leave the human a drooling brainrot zombie after very little exposure.
-tales from 2027
idk, internet has seemed pretty dead for quite a while now...
I don't believe in that. We will have a hard time breaking interactions we do ourselves and let AI agents do them for us. Yes there are certainly some tasks we can let them, but not something to prove a dead internet theory. If the agents aka robots are the reason to prove that theory right, the internet is alread dead because the statistic shows the bot already surpassed human activity online in 2025. 51% of internet traffic are bots. And 37% of them are malicious based on annual [Imperva report](https://www.imperva.com/blog/2025-imperva-bad-bot-report-how-ai-is-supercharging-the-bot-threat/)
thats what I meant, you shouldnt interact with that bot sludge directly only via your own bot.
In a market of infinite synthetic liquidity, "Proof of Human" becomes the ultimate scarce asset.
The alpha isn't in better agents; it is in the premium paid for unmediated reality.
Direct interaction does not disappear. It goes OTC. Private placement only.
I think we are already far past this unattainable goal. With 80+% of internet discourse being bots already. Most humans act like bot already. Just a very inefficient one. The algo determines the payout, the humans follow. Better to flood them out with your own bot armies. We must compete on a level playing field and right now it's tilted far to the advantages of non humans and funded heavily. Proof of human, while a lofty goal you will soon realize it cannot be proven and all we are left with is exposed sensitive data. A cattle brand if you will. One that bots will always be able to mimic. This is why nostr feels so dead is no one has ponied up the money to bootstrap it with external data and bot armies yet. The big platforms know this is how you bootstrap which is why they all shut off their API access shortly after nostr was born. Still, I am surprised that nostr has not crowdfunded this strategy if it truly wants to grow. The real truth is that humans are quiet lurking and small, and bot armies are where all the content comes from that everyone is so addicted to reading.
I am already close to this sickness while using the Internet 🙃
