LLMs are only a deathblow, albeit a massive one, to a trend that's been 10 years in the making.

I feel it's time for another small internet for us, with blackjack and dancers. But this time let's agree not to make it friendly and accessible for everyone, alright?

Everyone just bind to some other port than 443 and there you go. The traffic won’t be worth any money so no spammers will show up there. All existing content and functionality will still work, just on a different port. It’s like a www fork.
If we move to port 404, they'll never find us.

How long until marketing powerhouses make a true hypnotoad capable of literal brainwashing, more so than the power of current FAANG?
Oh, if they could build a hypnotoad, they would. Governments, too. See project MKUltra in the 50s.
