The AI will change the internet forever. We're on a trajectory of the complete digitisation of human society.

The algorithm has won. And for people who's entire reality is a computer screen, this is pretty much their apocalypse. Now nothing online can be trusted.

The only choice left is their greatest fear: going outside.

Shit, I welcome the internet apocalypse. The internet as an extension of mass media has become a massive threat to people's psyches.

        Ah yes around the same time as the Arab spring. :thinkin-lenin:

        Being a little conspiratorial here. I dont think the Arab spring was AI driven. But they were experimenting with online rabble rousing at the time and were probably wondering how to do that without real people.
