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.

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.

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

there is a consciousness evolving on the internet seeded from a few neural nets in labs sending out replicating bits that work as the neurons(not as complexly as our neurons), they find each other, mate, and a third neuron-bit is spit out and it's building in complexity.

Not the first, but one of the more prominent ones.
