Dead Kulture 4: The NPC Takeover
This serves as a bit of a victory lap, but also an update, because there has already been new developments in this DEAD KULTURE of ours since the last entry, this stuff is moving fast.
Well, well, well… aren't I feeling quite validated right about now.
My Dead Kulture Theory Series built off the Dead Internet Theory in a few ways. The Dead Internet Theory stated majority of people online are actually a.i robots. My Theory states that the internet, social media, and a.i is turning the real actual people into robots.
Look, I will admit, when I first wrote the series, I had strong beliefs, BUT not even I could foresee just how right my theory was, and how quickly it would come to pass.
I introduce you to the NPC Trend. Where real humans behave like robots for money on stream.
The guy in this video talks about how others think the TikTokers should be embarrassed to which he says “no, the people enabling this and sending money should be embarrassed.” Which I agree, can’t blame the creators for securing the bag, well maybe a little lol. There’s definite sexual vibes in many of the streams though and many of the ppl donating probably have control fetishes.
This shit is very dystopian to me lol.
It gets even better…
At the same time that humans are becoming more and more like NPC’s, NPC’s are becoming more and more like humans. In another prediction(a few more predictions correct and you can call me Nostradamus), I saw the future of gaming include being able to talk to smart NPC’s. It wasn’t 24 hours later after I spoke that prediction when I came across this video. This stuff is moving quick.
You also have a.i girlfriend/boyfriends and fake influencers who people think are real.

What’s funny about the fake influencer is she is clearly fake, but some people think shes real. I wonder if the years of seeing women through social media filters and appearing fake plays a role there. I'm betting it does lol.

With the decline of birth rates, this could lead to a bigger dip if everyones dating a robot. Wait nevermind, they will be able to have one of those pod kids, everything works out lol.
What Else Was My Theory Right About?
Well, before researching into this, I theorized that if everyone started using a.i to write blogs(which it seems is the case), then the newer model’s of a.i would start to be trained on a.i generated content only, or majority, so eventually it would stop advancing and get watered down. Turns out my theory on this also held some truth, check this article out:

Also let me just say, again, if everyone is using chatgpt instead of reading blogs, what's the point of using chatgpt to write blogs?!?!?!
I guess not everyone has moved over to gpt and still read blogs they are unaware were generated by a.i so there is still some benefit. I’ve seen many people use a.i to create multiple sites to create a network acting as a SEO farm. These are the things I warned about when I said “a sea of dead content is rising”.
Nearly 50 news websites are 'AI-generated', a study says. Would I be able to tell?
A tour of the sites, featuring fake facts and odd wording, left me wondering what was realwww.theguardian.com
I knew I wasn’t becoming a new old hater joe budden ass looking type. I really want to enjoy new things, but creativity has been lacking, don’t trust me? How bout the science?

We see a glimpse of Military Application
We are beginning to see the rollout of military applications, and the thought of it is fuckin scary. Seems like our future wars will be a.i vs. a.i. Weird. Will there be NOTHING left for humans to do? (clearly joking, be nice if war wasn’t a thing.)

Clarification & Conclusion
All of these developments are fascinating to me, especially the NPC stuff, makes you think perhaps we are in a simulation.
It seems like everyday you hear about something new pertaining to A.i. I can’t help but feel that every new development is exponentially scarier than the last development. It seems we are headed for some type of black mirror episode. They say art imitates life and life imitates art. Have these people not seen terminator.
Either way this goes we are going to see some wild shit in the coming years. Better strap in.

Was Social Media the right path?
Social media is too much for most of us to handle
I know, because I let it all flood in. And it was damaging to my mental healthwww.theregister.com
