no you just live in this make believe land from 5 years ago
data centers are built in the middle of nowhere
show me how this works without the internet
where are the training data sets coming from?
why are foss projects getting shit on?
why are small to mid websites choking on scrapers?
why is so much of our digital media complete slop?
so yea totally different and separable
unrelated lol
this is the hang up
how have the lot of you not been paying attention to what is going on with the internet?
even conservative reports pre ai put the bot traffic at over half the total data volume, trying to pretend you can divorce the internet from ai is some silly head in sand shit
there is no ai without the internet, where is the data being scraped from?
why are small time sites choking with spider traffic?
we can’t use the internet without tripping over ai
all these data centers are being built in butt fuck nowhere, this only works with internet infrastructure to carry data to population centers, no one is investing billions for local kansas access for fuck sake
what facts?
there are literally multiple reports on how the majority of internet traffic is bots
what a strange hill to die on
my whole fucking point is that roads in the US didn't start with highways
highways in the US came about because of American car culture and fossil fuel policy
so American cars are American highways as far as how intertwined they are, this idea is so old it is literally a plot point in fucking Roger Rabbit
the internet today isn't the internet 5 years ago, you the end personal user is no longer the focus of the infrastructure in the same way no one gives a shit about the horse drawn buggy
the internet we have now is designed for bots, you can thank google and meta and the like
it has accelerated to ludicrous speeds this year if you are paying attention and dead internet theory already had shit pegged as high as in the 60s before the ai boom
for a fucking 5 year old lmao
zzzz moron
and this is the sanitized take
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Internet_theory
crawl your ass out from under that rock
human transportation in the abstract is the internet
data is people
data packets / rates (related tech) are the various vehicle types
there was a time of no highways, what need do horse drawn carriages have for paved asphalt?
highways are a direct though not immediate consequence of American car and civic planning policy
if instead we had focused on mixed use walkable cities with connected mass transit instead of urban sprawl highways would be much reduced if not gone, just look at existing examples in eu etc
so yes American cars and every nuance that implies in our current American reality are fucking highways
i don’t care about fucking semantics, life must be complicated for you if you are this hung up on literals
it’s amazing you can be so close as to use cars and highways and yet be so damn blind to history and the parallel implications
yea no
you wanna ignore what is actual reality and play pretend go for it but i’m not interested in hearing about it
zzzz
