• The end of the Internet

    Sorry, I'm going back to the topic of the dead internet,
    because it is indeed dead now! On November 18, 2025,
    there was a global shutdown of websites connected to
    the centralized DNS system Cloudflare, one of the largest
    content delivery service providers.
    The reasons for the problems have not been specified, but
    the company is currently investigating the incident. The vast
    majority of websites, including news websites, are currently
    unavailable. What does this indicate? I believe this is the
    best evidence of the concept of a "dead internet," as many
    independent observers have already pointed out. November
    18, 2025 will always be remembered as a day of revelation
    for all of us, as the truth about the number of websites on
    the internet created by humans and the number created by
    a centralized AI system was revealed. It is becoming clear
    that the HTTPs-based internet is essentially a global
    technocratic crypto AI program that simulates intense online
    activity with a small percentage of real users. This program
    requires centralized management through Cloudflare servers.
    For example, OpenAI, including ChatGPT, has completely
    lost its functionality at the same time as other servers. There
    is no working AI, and there is no mass creation of new
    content, such as comments, profiles, messages, photos, news,
    and so on. This is quite logical and obvious. It appears
    that the Cloudflare DNS servers are acting as the
    coordinator of a global crypto AI scam. The current failure
    has revealed the truth about the world around us and the
    state of affairs. We should thank the unknown hackers for
    this!
