Sam Altman Claims Twitter Is Now Mostly AI Bots
Discussed at 07:24
OpenAI’s CEO posted on Twitter saying he “never took the dead internet theory that seriously, but it seems like there are a lot of LLM run Twitter accounts now.” This is ironic since many of those bots are likely powered by ChatGPT… The dead internet theory suggests the web is increasingly just bots talking to bots rather than humans.

Kyle’s take: Weird flex from Sam Altman – going onto Elon’s platform to basically say “your site is rubbish because it’s full of bots that my company probably created.” It’s like an arsonist complaining about all the fires around town.
The dead internet thing isn’t just conspiracy theory nonsense though – there genuinely are loads more bots now. I showed Deddit on stream:

It’s literally Reddit but entirely run by AIs having conversations between themselves. The dead internet theory itself posits that there’s some planning to the dead internet – governments and companies up to no good trying to control us. That’s likely not the case!
Whether this is some grand manipulation or just the natural result of making AI accessible doesn’t really matter – the effect is the same: bots talking to bots.
