Benjamin Allocco Is Writing<p>Perhaps when the Internet is overrun by AI content to the point that it is unusable, humanity will be forced to exist again primarily in the tangible world, in smaller communities, where truth can be verified with our senses once more. Books will be on paper. Art will be drawn or painted. Movies will be replaced by live theater. As we revert to an analog world, the digital world will churn on, populated by ghostly algorithms until the servers run down.</p><p>I can't decide if this thought is optimistic or apocalyptic.</p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/deadinternet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deadinternet</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/aipocalypse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>aipocalypse</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/futurism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>futurism</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/apocalypse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>apocalypse</span></a></p>

AI6YR Ben<p>Uh oh </p><p>The Verge: Microsoft shuts off Bing Search APIs and recommends switching to AI</p><p>"Microsoft is shutting off access to its Bing Search results for third-party developers.

Wired reports that some big customers of Bing’s APIs will retain access to the service after the August 11th cutoff. DuckDuckGo uses Bing to power its search engine, and it has confirmed that it will still have access.

AI6YR Ben<p>For Silicon Valley, AI isn’t just about replacing some jobs. It’s about replacing all of them</p><p>"...I recently found myself at a dinner in an upstairs room at a restaurant in San Francisco hosted by a venture capital firm. The after-dinner speaker was a tech veteran who, having sold his AI company for hundreds of millions of dollars, has now turned his hand to investing. He had a simple message for the assembled startup founders: the money you can make in AI isn’t limited to the paltry market sizes of previous technology waves. You can replace the world’s workers – which means you can capture their salaries.
