It's incredibly creepy to think about bots that can respond to you like a normal human would online. Bots used to be easy to spot, but now they can pass for humans in the digital space.

Dead Internet Theory is one of those things where you see just enough botted content from LLMs to start thinking it could be true. Thanks for the stream, Pippa.

Even though it was a joke during the beginning of the stream, Pippa's natural talent for ASMR still shone through.

We're not real, this isn't real, no stream happened.

The dead internet theory is more of a prophecy then anything, hope the internet that I enjoyed for all these years doesn't totally die from it though.
Thank you for the stream, Otsucringe!

Kinda crazy just how much the internet has changed in a short time. Also I dont blame you for wanting to take a break from social media. Sometimes you really need to just detox from it all

Dead internet theory was an interesting discussion for tonight's stream. Bit of a downer, but best we can do is have faith and do what we can that's within out control. Find what makes you happy and stay focused on that. That's what I did when I found vtubers, and I'm much better off now than I was beforehand. Keep it up Pippa and capippis! WAGMI!!! Otsucringe! ~fluffles away~

The internet turning into a virtual Terminator setting where it's a handful of human beings fun posting the never ending legions of bots sounds amusing.

For your fear of missing out on something important I think you might need to remember at the end of the day you're just a regular  employee of phase not a manager. It's not part of your job to always be on call.

Thanks for the stream Pippa, it was fun. :_pippaHeart:
Truthstream Media just uploaded a video related to this subject: "Are algorithms dividing everyone into separate realities online?". I think it's worth a watch.

Today's stream was a wild ride exploring this theory OH MAH GAHHHH! I think while there are bots and AI scrobbling what people write and post everywhere a lot of it is just that also new people come online every day and some of them may stumble onto old stuff and unintentionally "necro" it again, hence the loops and repetitiveness, but all in all it's just a natural effect of the internet, people just set up their communities and keep to themselves basically. Oh well, still a fun stream and the BGM was peak for it! OTSUCRINGE! I hope you do find that work/life balance and stave off those addictions, I know it's gonna be harder for you than a person with a more traditional job but you just gotta keep working and trying every day to be a little better pips, we're rooting for you, as well as rooting for friday not being cursed! :_pippaHeart:

Had not heard of this at all until I saw a video on the channel called All Time which suddenly fully explained the theory.

I think its a phase, maybe a long one, of internet and we're hopefully gonna adapt and overcome it.

I was watching Cryptic Web Chronicles for a while and though sometimes he pronounced stuff weird I didn't think he was an AI even when Jim talked about watching a channel about Tomlinson that was narrated by an AI. It isn't until I got an ad for tool chests narrated by the same voice where the voice said the line "I wish we had 4-6 of them" as "I wish we had four six of them." Then right after I saw clips of Ky0resu using that same voice for her Q&A redebut stream.

Good to see your voice coming back! I'm happy your sickness is going away. Thank you for the deep dive stream as always! Otsucringe!

Tonight was a good stream, gotta try and peel yourself off the PC and phone more often. You might miss somethings but realistically you're not likely to, and emergencies 9 times out of 10 will be something out of your control even if you know when it happens. Have a good night and keep your chin up. I'm sure you can do it. :_pippaHeart:

I liked the stream, Pippa! Your conversation going over AI, Social Media Unplugging and current Internet advertising was fun. I'm rooting for you taking control over the constant social media urges. Just keep going at the beat of your own drum! :_pippaHeart::_pippaHeart::_pippaHeart:

make pippa pipkin great again

The outro is fire

Gracias por el stream, ha sido muy divertido ❤️
