The old internet seems to be doing much better. But it lost most of its users in the last 15 years.. What do you mean by this? How do you find the old internet?

You don't find them easely. That is the point I guess. But I am not reffering to some obscure darkweb here.

Many of e.g. the old niche forums still exist. Like, FOSS sites. GNU project sites seemed not to have aged a day in 20 years, i.e. still party like its 2004.

Also, I think non English sites are better off since Reddit mainly ate English communities and sites.

Facebook is probably what killed most of the living internet. Small community sites. Like the local Kennel club or Boat marina.

A good example of the old internet would be Matthew's Volvo site:

I've said it before and say it again, I firmly think AOL was just ahead of its time. Bring it back. Charge me 10 or 20 a month. Give me the walled off chatrooms, forums, IM, articles, keywords, search, etc. Revamp it, make it modern. And make a mobile app. Everyone wanted a free and open Internet, until AI and the bots ruined it all.

With every passing day I basically think this is going to be the future of the internet. Many disparate private/semi-private groups while the "public" internet becomes overloaded with AI slop. It's largely already happening in places like Discord. I think the first company that can capture what Discord has but is not wrapped in that "gamer aesthetic" ui/ux is going to do really well.

Discord could probably become the new internet if they introduced a URN scheme and permitted folks to host web pages.

Guess what tools would be used the most to write content for those web pages.

And eventually someone is going to come up with a search engine for Discord, and the cycle will start all over.

Drives me nuts. The internet is dead. I just bought a home and I have been googling the best way to tackle certain home improvement projects - like how to prepare trim for painting. Virtually every result is some kind of content farm of AI-generated bullshit with advertising between every paragraph, an autoplay video (completely unrelated) that scrolls with the page, a modal popup asking me to accept cookies, a secon…

I used to search in English to get more results. Short-term, I might start searching in my native tongue to get less results.

So, I was drawing an eagle for a new imprint, and I needed a reference for good looking claws. So I used my Google Images search shortcut to get pictures of eagles, and it was almost all AI. If you ask yourself the question, eagle claws suffer from the same problem that human hands go through with AI, so it's completely useless.

Yandex images search is flawless though.

This phenomenon has been such a spur of motivation to start writing again. I love it. The only way we can make sure the internet retains any goodness is by contributing good things to it. Passive consumption will rapidly turn into sub-mediocre drudgery. I suppose it already has. Be the change you want to see, I guess. I’m a shitty writer, but at least I can beat the dissonant, bland, formulaic rambling of ChatGPT (he…

My FAANG working spouse thinks that AIs and Robocallers should be mandated to identify themselves. She thinks a audible "Beep-boop" at the end of a sentence for calls and video would be appropriate.

Barring that, every human could end sentences with a couple racial slurs to verify that they are not on AI

Microsoft is just waiting in the wings with Tay for just such an occurrence.
