So they actually want to build a dead internet? Why?
Dead internet wasn't a goal. It's Torment Nexus again:
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Dead internet wasn't a goal. It's Torment Nexus again:
They want to own the internet and all the voices on it. That's the long and short.
At least the Torment Nexus sounds like an exciting dystopia. This is the boring kind. I'm not expecting LLMs and image generators to suddenly start a nuclear war and/or enslave us - they'll just make some numbers go up in a spreadsheet somewhere.
But now who will donate pretend coats for the virtually needy?!
Beats throwing hot pennies at the poor, I suppose.
