Press Release.

Automated traffic—all non-human internet traffic—is growing eight times faster than human traffic, AI-driven traffic—traffic generated by or on behalf of AI systems—is the fastest-growing category of internet traffic, and for the first time, AI systems are not just reading the web but transacting on it.

When I played Cyberpunk 2077, I thought the concept of the Blackwall was interesting, but a bit far fetched. A giant firewall to protect human networks from malicious AIs that got out of control on the internet? Nah.

Now I don't think so anymore.

The Great Firewall exists. Tho it's meant to control people, not AI.

At this point The Great Firewall is looking more like it’s protecting people from this AI slop. I have no idea how websites are in China, but I think I would be okay with Europe raising a great firewall against US owned companies.

The damage US far-right influencers (along with Russian funding of local parties) is doing in Europe cannot be underestimated.
