      That is actually more accurate.

  Makes me wonder if the future of the internet is federated network hardware. There’s already efforts in bigger cities to distribute mesh networks (especially to lower-income areas), so it doesn’t seem like a far leap to create an internet by users and for users.

    Are there any current examples of that?

      NYC Mesh!

      www.nycmesh.net

      There’s likely others, but this one has been around for about a decade and is still operational.

    future of the internet is federated network hardware

    At the very least, that was its past. It was built as a nuke-resilient self-healing early mesh concept.

    Then it got commercialized and peers couldn’t trust each other so much, so we have the drunken-starfish setup we have now.

    Is there anything that prevents a tech bro buying the hardware and accessing the network to post with their LLM the way they do with the internet today?

  A lot of focus is on how llms are severing connection between the user and the source of info but something I would say is equally as concerning if not more concerning is the fact that public services and websites that offer free public access to information are being obliterated by llm agents and chatbots scraping with absolutely no regard to the site. It’s not just little operations either. Meta takes an approach that I would consider malicious and a threat to anyone hosting anything on the open web as a whole.

    Is intentional, they want their AI to be the only source of information.

  The title is a bit misleading. The issue here is data scrapers, period. They aren’t being deployed by AI, and they aren’t running using AI. It’s just the presumed destination of the data being scraped.

    Yeah, that makes sense.

    Also, the Internet is like a living thing, it changes constantly, that’s its nature. Essentially every day is the end of the Internet as we know it, it’s always something else the next day.

      Your definition is so vague that it is quite useless in any descriptive context.

  openDemocracy’s website has been repeatedly brought down by an army of bots.

  This website uses cookies to give you the best experience.

  See, from my point of view, the problem is that the website is up, not that it was brought down?
