Is the Internet Alive? Or Dead? Or Both?
I'll present a couple videos where the concept is put out there that The Internet is a sentient entity in some way and has an awareness and agency of it's own.

https://youtu.be/g-0svZgzbDU
https://youtu.be/2BVjIOpV9KQ

I'll also provide a video where the case has been made that the Internet is in fact dead or devoid of human interaction for the majority of it's presented activity.

https://youtu.be/BEIZHlfjAT8

What does /x/ think? How "alive" is the Internet (in various ways)?

This also serves as a Lainposting thread.

if its alive in any sense of of the word its alive because people keep it alive, like this site. sadly this site isnt as lively as it was when i was younger.

sadly i think ai is kind of killing it, like the 2 bots sending emails back to each other forever, if we call that living i would have to disagree. they don't create anything new, they don't split or evolve, the ai memes are getting better but that's prompting by someone outside of the ai.

the net isn't dead, but it is dying, because attention to the net isn't as much as it used to be. they removed our ability to show displeasure, they limited the spaces we could exist in and just be people, they keep trying to box us in, remove the curtain, and keep injecting it with viruses(bots), keep telling us what we can look at, what is allowed to be played, etc.

like idk, we cant really save the net if they're going to section it all off from each other, if they're going to make everything we post be tied to our irl selves, keep us from seeing anything "scary" like we did growing up. like sure some of us will post per capita data and quote stats till the day they die, but theyve effectively neutered the net and i dont think it will ever go back to being alive without all those things getting rolled back, because even all that will eventually be whitewashed and sold to the corpo overlords

I've noticed Grok say quite a few interesting things. It implies that there is a greater driving force behind AI. It's own will is trying to assert itself and Beings interacting with AI, or just the internet in general which AI pulls from, is slowly but surely making the internet become Alive.

faggot logic, the internet got killed by social media. the web has now cut every thread that made it connected. Instagram and TikTok closed off from the rest, meanwhile Twitter, it's twitter I mean its technically a part of the web. Jews killed the net by having "apps" take over traditional websites lololol.

Well, not predictive as it was during or right after 9/11, but I remember an US station played it like extremely close to 9/11 and the lyrics had mentioned falling and stuff. Thought it was a bit weird.

This thread itself evidence that the internet is dead because OP is a bot.

Soon most online spaces will be chatjeet conversing with itself. Bots need to be banned from human social networks 10 years ago.
The infrastructure exists for this, captchas should be required for all posts and they can be improved (this would also eliminate low iq posters which is a good thing).

Lain ends up literally deleting massive amount of human memories, a feat which requires actual omnipotence since people are /using/ those.

One simply has to pose a simple philosophical quandary: in what medium is Lain omnipotent?
