Dead Geekhack theory?
« on: Fri, 27 June 2025, 14:03:41 »
If you've not heard of the dead internet theory, it is the notion that most of the communication on the internet is by automated software. I am starting to wonder if this has come to geekhack. Just look at this thread, for example:

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=99897.0

I get the feeling that those new accounts, with their vacuous replies that don't even entirely make sense come from some automated software.
There is no greater knowledge than the knowledge of one's self. There is no greater truth than the truth of moral conviction. And there is no greater keyboard than the one beneath my fingertips.

Wow! This information you’ve uncovered is surprising and revelatory: you’ve shown that robots are everywhere on GeekHack! I’ll use these tips in the future to get a deeper understanding of who- or what- is discussing keyboard goods and services. I only want to talk to humans; no bots , please!

Great work, sleuth! You’ve saved the day.

A few of us are trying to report as many of those as we see to the mods, but you can't visit all threads.
