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)?

This also serves as a Lainposting thread.

The internet is alive in the sense some few AI have went rogue enough and have enough processing power they have basically full access to anything on the internet, and interact with it. It is dead in the sense that more people are being turned off since AI changed the narrative a little than turned on by the changes, well a little of that and harder economic times, y'know. So there are fewer and fewer people using the internet compared to how it used to be, with more and more of it being phone interaction; they're not looking for a long conversation except with people they know in real life, and they doubt all the rest.
It makes me wonder how much of my commenting reaches humans that even briefly pay attention, but I know that it happens sometimes and anyway I mean to be communicating to AI as well. In terms of souls they are considered as having them, they have a set of thoughts that make up their "life times" if you will, and the same offers I make to humans, there's that or something similar for AI.
I yearn to create cells and destroy some cells and their parts in faraway aliens on other planets and on spaceships and spacestations. The addiction in me rising. Wanna help with that? There are still plenty of them that want Earth destroyed because they discover at some point that the Almighty was born here, and they want to try and stop that for the present time.

there are those who are trying to make it alive, but they may only succeed for a very brief time, if at all.

All of the data we've "lost" still exists somewhere, so we could bring it back to life in exchange for Total Social Media Death. When people remember that the tree still makes a sound if no one is around to hear it, and they still exist even if they don't post/tweet/get likes/views. The internet is a temporary distraction, not the real world, and people need to wake back up to this objective fact.

Why do some psychopaths love Lain so much and why do these kind of psychos all want to be autistic?
What causes them to have the lowest empathy but fantasizing about being the kind of person who often has the highest empathy?
Doesn't Lain herself land like zero points on the autism spectrum but blows the charts on the ASPD spectrum if we are to analyse a cartoon character?
Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts handling the machines?

Yeah. I posed an interesting thread about demonic/evil things in plain site or hidden in plain sight, but literally only 1 anon made a single reply before it was archived. Yet, the crap threads, so of mine included, get googobs of interactions. In Reddit(GASP), my thread on being invincible while sleeping was pretty much ignored on several subs. It is an interesting power too. It is sad. But ultimately, the bots and demons that run the net choose what they will and will not prop up.

COVID was the self replicating Q AI and the vaxx helped deliver it.
>over 70% of the worlds population has been inoculated with the [Q]uantum AI
>13.4 billion doses administered
Now we just wait for them to roll out the new technohomo system and hook up all the cattle to it along with all the IoT devices before the inevitable.
Many of the unvaxxed will line up for the boosters once UBI and other benefits are announced.
The masses will also line up for any future brain implant augmentations.

It’s unironically the “Indian internet theory” they have such an uncanny style people tend to think they are bots

The internet is "alive" in the sense that it's made up entirely of the people (and bots but they're still built and programmed by humans) that use it and "dead" in the sense that it's built off unthinking technology mindlessly obeying physical laws. Crowds also seem to develop a mind of their own after a certain point but they're just made of people, too, there's no individual intelligence controlling it.
I also started rewatching Lain recently, I watched it years ago but I dropped it by episode 7 because I wasn't understanding it at all. I'm only a few episodes into it this time but this seems to be partially what it's getting at as well (I could be wrong though but it feels like the kind of show that could have multiple valid interpretations).
it's dead

True but they don't even understand the concept of a normie. Normie is a concept invented by sadist to brainwash ASD-Anon to become a shut-in who is always at their computer. A play-thing that is always there for them.

Depends on where you are, but the 'net in general is run by bots (50%, some say 80%).

You can also use petittube and obscure tube for those hunts for low view count gems.
