Episode notes
Tech Shift From Discovery To Algorithmic Control
- Jay Dyer argues the internet shifted from human-driven discovery to algorithmic control starting with DARPA LifeLog's shutdown and Facebook's rise.
- He links later algorithm changes and bot proliferation to perception management and centralized control.
Bots Distort Metrics And Trust Online
- Dyer says bots and sophisticated AI have saturated comments and traffic, distorting view counts and engagement.
- He notes recent reports that bots may now account for roughly half of internet traffic, undermining metrics and trust.
ID Verification As The 'Solution' To AI Chaos
- Dyer frames the roll-out of ID-verified internet as the predictable 'solution' to AI-generated content and bot problems.
- He warns this will centralize control and enable censorship under the pretext of authenticity and child protection.
