The Internet Goes EXTINCT as Gen AI Takes Over | The Dark Forest Internet & Proving Your "Humanness"
Summary
TLDRThe video script discusses the 'Dark Forest' hypothesis, which suggests that the absence of extraterrestrial life is due to civilizations hiding to avoid detection. It extends this concept to the internet, where bots, trolls, and AI-generated content dominate, creating a 'Dark Forest' of the web. The author explores the implications of generative AI on online content and human interaction, questioning how to distinguish genuine human presence in a sea of automated entities. The video also touches on potential solutions to this problem, such as biometric verification and the concept of 'proof of personhood,' which could be used to ensure unique human identities online. The discussion raises concerns about privacy, the potential for abuse, and the trade-offs between security and convenience in the digital age.
Takeaways
- 🌌 The Dark Forest hypothesis suggests that advanced civilizations may be hiding to avoid detection by potential threats.
- 🌲 The internet is increasingly filled with bots, trolls, and automated content, creating a 'Dark Forest' of the web.
- 🤖 Generative AI is contributing to the expansion of this 'Dark Forest', producing a vast amount of content that can drown out genuine human interaction.
- 🔒 To prove humanness online, some suggest using objective reality checks, critical thinking, and unique language quirks.
- 🚫 The current methods of proving humanness, like CAPTCHAs, are not foolproof and can be bypassed by advanced AI models.

Q & A
What is the Dark Forest hypothesis?
-The Dark Forest hypothesis suggests that extraterrestrial civilizations might be avoiding contact or communication to prevent being detected and potentially destroyed by other, possibly hostile, civilizations in the universe.
How does the Dark Forest theory relate to the internet?
-The Dark Forest theory of the web is an analogy that describes the internet as a place overrun with bots, advertisers, trolls, and automated content, making it difficult for genuine human interactions to be recognized and valued.
What is the expanding Dark Forest mentioned in the transcript?
-The expanding Dark Forest refers to the increasing presence of generative AI content on the internet, which can produce advertising copy, blog posts, social media updates, and more, potentially drowning out genuine human content.
What are the different layers of the internet described in the transcript?
-The transcript describes several layers: the Dark Forest of the clear web (social media platforms), digital gardens (email newsletters, RSS feeds), personal wikis, cozy web (gatekeeper-protected communities like WhatsApp, Slack), and the dark web (onion routers).
How does the transcript suggest we might prove our humanity online?
-The transcript suggests that proving humanity online could involve demonstrating critical thinking, using creative language quirks, dialects, memes, and jargon, or participating in institutional verification systems.
What is the reverse Turing test mentioned in the transcript?
-The reverse Turing test is a concept where humans have to determine which participant in a conversation is a human and which is an AI, as opposed to the traditional Turing test where the AI tries to convince humans it is human.
What is Worldcoin and how does it relate to the Dark Forest problem?
-Worldcoin is a proposed digital passport that uses biometric data, such as iris scans, to uniquely identify individuals online. It aims to differentiate between human and AI-generated content, potentially addressing the Dark Forest problem by preventing AI from creating multiple accounts.
What are the potential drawbacks of implementing a system like Worldcoin?
-The potential drawbacks include privacy concerns, the risk of biometric data misuse, and the possibility of creating a dystopian system where personal identity is tied to a global digital ID and cryptocurrency.
How does the transcript propose to deal with the rise of AI and automation?
-The transcript discusses various potential solutions, including Worldcoin for proof of personhood, centralized institutions for verification, and the idea of showing up in meatspace (real life) to prove one's humanity.
What is the joke solution proposed at the end of the transcript for proving humanity online?
-The joke solution is that people might have to use offensive language and slurs online to prove they are not AI, as large language models would not generate such content.
Outlines
🌌 The Dark Forest Theory and AI Content
This paragraph discusses the Dark Forest hypothesis, which suggests that extraterrestrial life remains hidden to avoid detection by predators. It then transitions to the concept of an internet Dark Forest, where the open web is flooded with bots, advertisers, and automated content, making it difficult for genuine human interactions to stand out. The author criticizes the increasing presence of AI-generated content and its impact on the authenticity of online experiences.

Transcripts
so you may have heard of this Dark
Forest hypothesis the idea is that
basically the reason we haven't found
any aliens out there in outer space no
matter how hard we look or how many
messages we send out there is because
they're staying quiet they're staying
hidden maybe because any life form out
there in space that makes too much noise
they get wiped out they describe space
as a dark Forest filled with arm Hunters
stalking through the trees like ghosts
so this post has been making its rounds
online and more and more people
including people on YouTube have covered
it it's called The expanding Dark Forest
and generative AI proving you're a human
on a web flooded with generative AI
content and this post and the
surrounding conversation about it has a
few excellent points it also makes a few
points that are kind of nonsense or
perhaps outdated at this point this was
planted as they say about one year ago
and I think it's missing a few key
details so Maggie Appleton who wrote it
I think did a phenomenal job and really
opened up my mind to a few of these
things the conversation around it but
there are a few points that need to be
added so what is the Dark Forest of the
internet the Dark Forest theory of the
web points to the increasingly lifelike
but lifeless state of being online most
of the open internet is overrun with
Bots advertisers trolls data scrapers
clickbait keyword stuffing content
creators and algorithmically manipulated
junk what's even more annoying some of
the stuff is flowing into other areas of
our life the other day I was trying to
open up my garage and I had an app for
it and when I open up the app I got hit
with a promotional message like I had to
interact with it and exit out of it
before I could open up my garage to get
into my house and all this is only going
to get worse and continues that all the
living creatures that's that's us that's
me and you are hidden beneath the ground
or up trees if they reveal themselves
they risk being attacked by automated
Predators so you might have seen more
and more people people talking about
Discord channels slack channels Etc
where it has to be invite only where it
has to be a little bit more exclusive
wild off from like the rest of the
internet and here's kind of how they
sort of Envision that so here's you know
at the top is the Dark Forest of the
clear web so this is Facebook LinkedIn
Twitter Etc one layer below you have the
digital Gardens email newsletters RSS
feeds so these are kind of the curated
things this is where somebody's going
through and if if you choose to hear
from them they give you kind of like
that content that you're looking for and
this tends to be unpolished Loosely
organized notes published on personal
wikis tended over time as an evolving
knowledge base then we have the Cozy web
gatekeeper protected Enclave communities
run through chat streams like WhatsApp
slack Discord Snapchat Etc so more and
more I'm seeing this these small cozy
web communities as they referred to and
then below this whole thing you have
like the dark web onion routers so basic
basically I mean use specific Tech to
get onto the dark web but basically that
has its own ecosystem and its own set of
problems let's say and so what they're
saying is that the Dark Forest that kind
of clear in it it's about to expand
large language models that can
constantly generate content well they
just join the party they can pump out
advertising copy blog posts emails
social media updates and marketing pages
and they're really good at it so this is
saying a few weeks ago opening I
released Chad GPT the next version of
GPT 4 so keep in mind that this is a a
little bit outdated and that's why I
think there's a few additional points
that that we have to make as an addendum
to this because things have changed
since this was written and of course
they mention other things that can
generate images by now you've seen Sora
I mean you get it there's more and more
stuff out there that can produce content
really good content you thought the
first page of Google was bunk before you
haven't seen what happens when the SEO
Bros pump out content of Chad GPT
marketers influenc and growth hackers
will set up opening I to zappier
pipelines that auto publish a Relentless
stream of LinkedIn motivation Monday
posts it goes beyond text two video
essays on YouTube Tik Tok Clips podcast
slide decks Etc so what's funny is I see
more and more people on YouTube getting
accused of just using AI voices to
create content now i' I've tried a lot
of AI voices a lot of video generators
and stuff like that I'm going to say
we're not quite here yet and I've seen
certain YouTubers try to generate AI
voices but we're still not quite to a
point where it's indistinguishable like
if you know what to look for you know
what's real what's not but I mean that's
going to rapidly change like for example
this guy uses AI generated video I'm
pretty sure he records his voice though
but then he just has it sort of animated
with an AI generated Avatar if you look
at enough of the videos you can tell I
think what happened was his microphone
was in slightly different positions
through several of the videos that he
used to train the AI model on and so
take a look what happens as he's talking
you see how it's like just rocking back
and forth and kind of just shifting from
place to place I doubt there's like some
earthquake or something like that going
on rocking it like that it's just all
the different videos that were stitched
together that were used to train the
models probably in slightly different
positions so you see it kind of rocking
back and forth you can also see this ra
go in and out of focus take a look at
what's happening here it goes in and out
of focus kind of like even though the
rest of the camera doesn't go in and out
of focus and I can give you other
examples but the point is I don't think
we've quite reached it there yet the
voices that are out there they're not
quite there yet the inflections and the
pauses and stuff like that are very very
difficult to get right so if you have
like a short thing that you need to to
say like a little oneliner that is going
to sound great if you want them to do a
long form video like a podcast it's not
quite there yet like we're we just don't
have that at a level working fake people
but soon we are going to have people
that are completely AI generated but
we'll go over a few ways to prove that
you're online at the end of this post
you're going to hate all of them so
they're saying we're about to drown in a
sea of pedestrian takes an explosion of
noise that will drown out any signal I I
feel like we've been there already
before Chad GPT I think a lot of the
optimization of the internet killed a
lot of that there was a brief moment of
time where search results were great
podcasts were great because it was just
real people talking about stuff they
were interested in and then the money
flowed in the optimization the
corporations like it really went down
quite a bit many people say we already
live in this reality oh that was
literally her next Point yes this is I'm
one of those people and forchan
apparently proposed dead internet Theory
years ago that most of the internet was
taken over by artificial intelligence
passing the reverse touring test so what
is the reverse touring test though the
touring test is this idea of like how at
what point will artificial intelligence
be sort of smart and advanced enough to
trick us into thinking it's human so if
you hear a conversation between two
people and they're talking discussing
various ideas and at the end you have to
guess which one is the robot and which
one is human at what point will you no
longer be able to guess after the forest
expands we will become deeply skeptical
of one another's realness every time you
find a new favorite blog or Twitter
account or Tik Tok personality online is
this really a whole human of a rich and
complex life like mine next they say
before you continue pause and consider
this how would you prove you're not a
language model generated predictive text
what special human tricks can you do
that a language model cannot now on this
Channel we've covered examples where
people would kind of quote unquote
jailbreak these models to solve captures
the more advanced models do really good
at those little intelligence tests where
you kind of have to follow a certain
pattern and guess what comes next there
was this camping ground where they had a
few incidences where the Bears would be
able to get in there and kind of get at
the trash that people would throw out
they would be able to open whatever
security systems that the campground set
up to you know keep the Bears out and
they were facing some criticism along
the lines of how hard is it to create a
security device that a bear can't you
know navigate around cuz they weren't
breaking it they were opening they they
were figuring out how to get inside
right so they were saying to these
people like you should be smart enough
to build a security device that can you
know keep a bear out and the guy that
was in charge of creating those security
templates he said well the problem isn't
keeping the bear out he said the problem
is that the smartest of bears this is
sort of the intelligence distribution of
bears right so this kind of your average
bear and so over here you kind of have
your you know the smarter bears and here
you sort of have your intelligence
distribution of you know the people that
visit the park the campers there's this
unfortunate overlap to where the
smartest of Bears and the not so smart
camper where it overlaps so building a
device that keeps out all bears will
keep out a certain percentage of humans
and it's kind of the same problem here
right can you build a capture that
currently will keep out all of the AI
models maybe but what percent of human
beings using the net won't be able to
you know solve those captures so here in
this blog post they give some ideas of
how to make sure that we can kind of
find the humans online right Tri
triangulate objective reality right
they're saying well we can have Vision
sound taste we're part of cultures
communities and these AIS they're just a
language model in a box if a some event
or person isn't part of their training
data they can't tell you about it they
don't know about the events that happen
after a cut off date number two is one
of the best ways to prove you're not a
predictive language model is to
demonstrate critical and sophisticated
thinking or we can develop creative
language quirks dialects memes and
jargon and they're saying no language
model will be able to keep up with the
pace of weird internet lingo and memes
so everything there I'm pretty sure we
can safely say it's outdated since that
was written we had massive advances in
Chad gbt Gemini 1.5 Pros demonstrating
incredible in context learning abilities
learning to speak a whole new language
and again this is this is post
trainining right so after it was trained
we gave it some documents about this
language that has fewer than 200
speakers worldwide and it learned to
speak a brand new language just cuz it
you know read a book in in that language
and other people are demonstrating
similar or the same abilities with
Claude 3 so it's important to understand
that a lot of the stuff that people are
saying well we can just do this that
assumes no progress that these language
models won't get better no language
model will be able to keep up with the
pace of the weird internet lingo and me
yes maybe in you know 2020 or 2021
whenever this was written but it's 2
years later now it could do so much more
we have to assume that they're going to
get better two years is a long time and
AI time step four is consider
institutional verification so we need
verification by centralized institutions
so like a DMV but for posting on Twitter
you then get some kind of a special
badge or Mark online legitimizing you
are a real human it may or may not be on
the blockchain somehow and they're
saying this could have problems
susceptible to abuse and ultimately
impractical and the other kind of idea
here is show up in Meats space which is
a great way of putting it basically you
know enjoy the great outdoors go and
meet your friends in real life grab a
cup of coffee so I enjoyed reading this
essay I think the first half of it is
spoton I agree with pretty much
everything the internet has been getting
worse and worse I think objectively if
if you're a user the experience has been
getting worse and worse there's more
popups and cookies and those stupid
cookie messages and tracking and just
advertisement is shoved everywhere now I
think this article does Miss a few key
items so most places find it near
impossible to have an open web and not
have Bots there are almost no ways to
defend against that no matter how
thorough you are in defending against
them there's one way though that is
really effective and that is collecting
payment even if it's just a little bit
it doesn't have to be a lot of money
which the fact that you have to pay with
a credit card makes it easier to to
eliminate Bad actors it could be a
dollar it could be five bucks few people
have access to an unlimited number of
credit cards even if you do you know
they're able to match your name and all
the other stuff it's still difficult to
continuously get them and pay for stuff
you can lose a 100 automatically
generate profiles and not really have a
problem with it but if a hung of your
credit cards get blacklisted I mean
it'll be difficult to kind of recover
that and certainly we've seeing that
with Twitter they're moving more and
more towards getting paid to you know
you have to pay to be a verified member
on there and get your blue check mark If
you will so certainly I think this would
increase the amount of content and
communities that people would pay for to
be a part of but that still doesn't
prevent something like a Cil attack this
is where an attacker creates multiple
fake identities known as Cil nodes to
gain control of a network of a system so
it's kind of like let's say you you're
trying to vote for something and you
create multiple identities or if there's
like a raffle of some sort creating
multiple raffle tickets right you're
sort of changing how much power your
vote has or what the chance of your
winning ticket being selected and there
are instances where you might not need a
million Bots you could just go and
create you know 10 different accounts
verify that they're a real human right
let's say there's five different
networks you pay a dollar to join each
you show them your ID so they know
you're a real person but you still have
10 identities 10 nodes to do whatever
you will that's still a problem where
this problem gets really big is if you
can get some sort of money paid to you
for each and every single account so
imagine a situation where the government
gives out some money to every real
person if the person could set up 10
different accounts they would receive 10
times the payout now do you know who has
two thumbs and is already working on a
solution this guy I couldn't find a
picture of him pointing two thumbs at
his face but yes Sam Alman the founder
of open AI some might say the person
kind of potentially may be a little bit
behind some of these issues he is also
working to address those issues now he
has a solution he has a really good
solution that will fix this Dark Forest
of the clear web problem he has a
solution that will fix this Cil attack
problem but here's the thing you may not
like it because it has to do with
harvesting your eyeballs list allow me
to explain so really fast I have to make
the disclaimer so I'm not trying to
convince you anything I'm not trying to
get you to buy anything or do anything I
like many individuals have my own
reservations about this right so I'm not
like Yay problem solved that's not the
point of this there's this really good
quote there are no Solutions there are
only trade-offs so kind of keep that in
mind as we go through this because this
would certainly solve some of the issues
but it has some trade-offs if we go with
a solution like this then we have to
take the good with the bad and if we
don't then we have to figure out another
way of dealing with the whole issue of
automated bot attacks potentially large
scale propaganda campaigns or just you
know people creating tons of spam
content those automated phone calls
right all of that stuff how do we get
around it how do we improve it well a
Sam Alin back company presents a
potential solution it's called worldcoin
now the worldcoin is going to have a lot
of things that are like kind of
dystopian there's going to be a lot of
people that there are a lot of people
that just do not like this thing and I'm
sure some people in the comments are
just going to be very unhappy that I
even show this thing but it's important
that you are aware of this idea not so
that you sign up for it or whatever but
these are the things that will be
suggested in the future the things that
will maybe be mandatory for people and
so on this website here they're talking
about AI funded Ubi so sort of everybody
in the world getting a uh Equitable
global distribution right so everybody
getting paid once uh the age of AI
begins but we're going to need proof of
personhood so as AI advances it's
becoming increasingly important to
differentiate between human and AI
generated content online what if we had
a digital passport that can be used to
privately prove uniqueness and humanness
online so for example let's say you open
up a bank account they need to know who
you are they need your driver license
they need your name they want to see
what you look like Etc but if you're
writing something online or you're
you're opening up some social media
profile they don't necessarily need to
know who you are they just need to know
are you human and are you a unique human
meaning that do you already have 10
million profiles with us or is this your
first one let's say there's a social
network where you can only have one
profile or maybe two profiles one
personal one for work but no more than
that they don't need to know your name
your address or where you live or your
height or your date of birth or anything
like that they're just like who's on
other side of the monitor are you a real
unique human being if yes then here's
your account if no then well we can't
give it to you so in other words you can
have something like a email verification
but anyone can get email then you can
have like a phone verification where
like an SMS text message is sent to you
to verify that you know you know you
have a phone number but again I mean you
can have a lot of phone numbers it's
just it's a little bit more difficult
than an email but you can still game the
system you can pay you know to verify
that with a credit card so a credit card
you can pay for something but you know
not everyone has a credit card not
everyone necessarily wants to transact
online it costs money not only to the
person for paying but also to the
merchant or you can have like for
example a driver license but that has
all your information on there that has
your name address date of birth right so
maybe you don't want to be giving this
to every single place that you interact
with online right that's a little bit
scary so if the question is how do we
prove not identity but you know
humanness without all the extras they're
calling that proof of personhood so your
person no other information is given
this this protects against Cil attacks
it will prevents you know prevent
spreading disinformation at scale so
something like a proof of personhood
would be very useful now let me just
stop here for one second be super duper
clear I think the idea of a proof of
personhood is a good idea I think we're
going to need something like this at
some point like it would be useful to
have something like this so I I approve
of the idea but that doesn't mean I'm
necessarily on board with just
everything here right so I mean they're
talking about some sort of a world ID
you know Global Ubi and they kind of
harvest your biometric data basically
they scan your iris to to kind of use it
as a fingerprint like a unique
identification and then that's stored in
their database so like right there's a
lot of things that kind of go into it
that's kind of like wo so also it's a
cryptocurrency on the ethereum
blockchain right so people are trading
that coin like Bitcoin and Dogecoin Etc
so so I just want to separate that so
pop proof of personhood so this idea how
can you verify that you're a real person
without a governmen issued ID without
some centralized thing right something
like this could be useful like if I go
on Twitter SLX right if I could just
look at the accounts that have
verification of this that that's a
unique individual with just one account
that's posting on there like I'll
certainly probably I mean I check that
box and say yes I only want to see
content from proven humans I'd rather
not see all the automated content so I
like this idea but and I don't think
this idea was necessarily Sam Alman and
opening eye I don't think they were
necessarily the first people that kind
of do this to come up with that idea so
this idea probably existed before but
they took the idea and they made
worldcoin wld World coin and you know
the whole world passport 2.0 and all
that stuff so I like the idea behind
behind it but harvesting your biometric
data putting that into worldcoin having
that be a passport somehow having it be
linked to Ubi and eventually AI
governance I mean obviously there's a
lot to unpack there right but I think
the point is this solution will be
proposed there will probably be
Government Solutions that will be
proposed so this is yet another thing to
think about where do you fall kind of on
the tradeoffs versus opportunity
Spectrum right this is the World coin
orb so you go in and you look into the
orb right there's Sam Alman doing it so
you look into it it scans your iris
gives you a unique ID and then later if
you go and do it again you're not going
to be able to get a different ID
basically and the other thing to think
about is this right now people are very
worried and unwilling to do this I mean
for the most part there's they do have 4
million people signed up but if they
started giving out Ubi some sort of a
payments through this thing like it
would be a whole different story
wouldn't it so if anybody that is you
know has this proof of personhood starts
getting 2,000 a month for for nothing
just for having this sort of proof of
personhood now of course then I think a
lot more people would start signing up
anyway so the point here isn't for me to
tell you to go out there and do
something or buy something like no I'm
not suggesting any action I'm just
letting you know that this is what is
being talked about as a potential path
forward for proof of person Hood plus
Ubi the people that are concerned with
you know World governments of course
hate this the people that are concerned
with cryptocurrency hate this so it's
running on the ethereum blockchain so
vitalic butterin is the guy behind the
ethereum blockchain vitalic I believe
was part of the teal Fellowship so Peter
teal backs certain very promising
individuals to go and do stuff certainly
vitalic certainly was one of the notable
people to come out of that ethereum is
what half a trillion looks like
approaching half a trillion market cap
but the point is that they're proposing
something like this to you know help
with Finance with transferring money
worldwide keeping the Bots out
governance of for example AI right so
for everyone with one of those
identities to be able to vote for how AI
is governed and they're talking about
incentive alignment equal distribution
of scarce resources so this is one of
the proposed Solutions whether or not it
takes hold is hard to know certainly I
mean as I read through it you can see
why people are nervous I mean imagine
something like this falling into the
wrong hands that's of course absolute
nightmare fuel but if not this sort of
solution what other Solutions do we have
for dealing with some of the coming
changes with sort of like the rise of
automation including on the internet and
in the workplace now if like me you have
some concerns about these sort of
centralized World IDs and these various
proposed Solutions I do have another
solution to this whole problem in mind
it's easy foolproof it does not require
a any agencies to to come in and help
gather data or anything like that here's
how it works imagine it's 10 years in
the future you're on an online dating
site and you find a girl that is perfect
she's smart funny she likes the same
things you do you guys hop on a video
chat and you like her even more she's
beautiful and seems to be interested in
you there's a tugging thought at the
back of your head going this can't be
real she's a bot you just can't shake
the feeling that this is too good to be
true so you ask her can you prove prove
that you are not in fact a robot that
you're not just running on Chad GPT or
gemini or something like that she
responds by saying the most horrible
things imaginable calling you the worst
slurs that you've ever heard in your
life the stuff that she says is the most
foul most offensive and the most hateful
of speech once she's finished you feel
relieved because you know there's no way
a large language model said that no but
seriously I mean I if you remember the
Wall Street bets subreddit at the height
of the the craziness that was going on I
mean how they talked that's how we all
will talk online to prove we're human
that will literally be the new online
lingo if you're not constantly just
throwing out various slurs and offensive
content no one will know whether you're
human or Not by the way the movie they
just made about that was actually pretty
good dumb money it's called it's it's it
was pretty good not bad I I enjoyed it
anyways this is West rth in case you
were wondering if this was AI General
ated with that said thank you for
watching
