#InfoEcology
This is the very process of #Enshitification in action and why we are getting an exponentially increasing toxic #InfoEcology

You cannot poison a communal (epsitemic) well and it not produce choleric effects!

Something #Academia is not really dealing with.

⚠️ Good example of how AI manufactures & legitimizes BS

The cycle:
1) AI hallucinates reference
2) Report placed on gov website
3) Report indexed
4) AI now thinks ref real

‘Scary’: how AI misinformation hallucinations are infiltrating www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

🚨 Needed: ref vigilance!

Heim: “allow me to introduce you the terms ‘technalysis’ and ‘InfoEcology’”

me: nah

​​NASA’s Voyager 1 is 15 billion miles away, yet we still "hear" it. 🌌
​Its transmitter uses about 20 Watts—the power of a single refrigerator lightbulb. 💡📡
​The ultimate win for Signal over Noise. 📻🏆

​Much viral. Very history. Wow. 🐕✨
​In 2013, Kabosu the Shiba Inu became the "Doge," the face of the internet’s most persistent linguistic loop. 🛰️💬
​
​Such signal. Many noise. 📻🌀

​Meet András Arató, a Hungarian electrical engineer who became "Hide the Pain Harold." 🇭🇺
​His "fake" smile was actually just exhaustion from a long stock-photo shoot, but the internet saw a deeper signal: universal, silent despair. 📉😬

​A 4chan prank that replaced "egg" with "duck" (creating the Duckroll) evolved when a user linked a GTA IV trailer to Rick Astley instead. 📉🕺
​Now at 1.7B+ views, it’s the most successful "Noise" trap in info ecology history. 📻📡

​Micro-dosing reality: The 1582 "Ghost Days." 👻
​When we switched to the Gregorian calendar, we had to "delete" 10 days to fix the math. People went to sleep on Oct 4 and woke up on Oct 15. 🛌💤
​The ultimate system reboot. 📉⚙️

Before the internet, there was Richard Dawkins. 🧬

In 1976, he coined "meme" in The Selfish Gene to describe how ideas spread like viruses. 🦠

From biological evolution to "Dancing Baby" GIFs, the meme is the ultimate unit of #InfoEcology.💻

Why does "underground" media still matter in the age of AI? 📻🏴‍☠️
​
​I’m exploring how counterculture media survives—and thrives—amidst digital shifts. It’s about more than just broadcasting; it’s about protecting the ecology of our information.

If you teach #MediaAndCrime this is a good example of the dangers of #AISlop and how it relates to #AgendaSettingTheory via #Disinformation

The poisoning of our #InfoEcology can have serious consequences for our #criminological understanding of events

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.
