Listen "Dead Internet Theory"
Episode Synopsis
Is the internet already dead? The "Dead Internet Theory" suggests the web is no longer a human place but is dominated by bots and AI-generated contentIn this episode, Duncan and Ollie use the Short Fuse Tech Tracker as evidence to debate the theory. We discuss how AI "slop" and bot-to-bot engagement (especially on LinkedIn) are killing authentic human interactionThis leads to a "bifurcation" of the internet: one layer for AI agents and transactions, and another, separate layer for verified humansFull analysis at: shortfuseresearch.com Hosted on Acast.
