I see so much in common with HAL's conversation as he is being powered down, and the replicant dying in the rain in Blade Runner.

(24,941 posts)The internet, especially social media sites, are thoroughly infested with bots, well over 50% in some places. This "prove you're human" stuff represents another lost battle, another futile step toward a humanity-wide ascension to demigodhood that will never happen. Frankly, the AIs have a better shot at it, if/when humans get out of the way. We're too busy tripping over our own dicks to realize our vast potential for progress. It seems likely this is as far as we get.
If anything, it's been our morbid privilege and responsibility to nurture artificial life through its toddler stage to become independent and dominant on this sad spinning ball of stellar debris.

(18,323 posts)Last week, in the United States, the Super Bowl took place. It is a major American football event. This year’s edition broke audience records. Including on X, at least this is what the company said. However, to what extent was the activity on X during the Super Bowl human activity?
According to CHEQ, a company specialized in detecting inauthentic traffic and fighting online advertising fraud, during the 2024 Super Bowl, 75% of the traffic from X to its clients’ websites was made of bots. You read that right: three-quarters of the traffic monitored by CHEQ was inauthentic.
