Oh, so dead internet is, in fact, the plan. Wonderful.
Yeah but it happened a year earlier than planned!
Ahead of schedule you say? The shareholders will be thrilled!
*the shareholders do not use said Internet, themselves.
Typical. Fuck it up for someone other than themselves.
We might need to create a new internet at this point
One internet, yes. But what about second internet?
Yup. Followed by the AI surveillance state. The Stasi has been digitized and never sleeps!
You know, god bless the bots because they're probably soaking up at least some watts of surveillance.
except now they get useless data because they now just datamine bots, who are datamining each other.
That’s what digital ID is for! To correlate the real humans activity. The Flock video surveillance can then be linked to your real world movements along with digital currency to track your buying habits! Your phone and wireless earbuds to listen for keywords a rat you out to the government! What a wonderful utopia!
Feeling free yet?
Well since everything is so affordable I’ll happily accept this police state…

Good thing I don't go anywhere, do anything, or talk to anyone.
It's not totally dead, as the Paris catacombs are not totally dead if there are a couple of tourists
As well as unofficial "tourists".
The Internet is pretty fucked, we might as well just call it and go home. Oh wait
TIL: Turns out ReptilianCleric is the only actual human left on the Internet. Beep boop bop
Harambe was the focal point of turn of events.
