Dead Internet Theory

Caelan Gold

Wednesday December 4, 2024 at The Little Theatre, Rochester, NY · 1:20PM-2:05PM

Dead Internet Theory is the claim that most of the internet’s content: websites, articles, posts, forums, videos, are mostly generated by algos, AIs, and bots (oh my) in order to streamline people to subservient thinking on political agendas, economic interests, and social standards (PES framework) developed by governments, large corporations, and elites. Using PES, Caelan is going to go over the theory's historical timeframe, claims and hypotheses, explanations of technology and “artificial intelligence’s” prevalence in the theory, contribute a few missing links, and the natural technique adopted to combatting the Dead Internet.
