Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast! This week we continue our exploration of the Dead Internet Theory, trying to understand just how much of the internet is made up of generative AI, AI agents, and "bad bots." The boys explore the impact of increasing AI content online, meaning AI risks entering recursive training loops where its own output becomes the very data that fuels its future training. Perhaps this has also been happening right under our noses — because this episode ends with a real, currently-existing website where over a million AI agents talk only to each other, invent their own religion, and leave researchers unable to fully untangle what's genuine AI behaviour and what's humans pulling the strings. Bots, slop, and a synthetic society — is the internet already more machine than human?

Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast! This week we are starting a series investigating whether the internet is made up of more AI agents and content that actual humans. In this first episode the boys start by discussing the use of AI in life and in the scientific world and the consensus that could be arrived at with the publication of work using AI’s help. We then discuss the internet: what is it anyway and how does it work? Mitch provides a great explanation looking at the surface web, deep web, and dark web as well as the mechanics that hold it all in place and allow us to have the world at our fingertips

Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast! This week we are continuing our examination of drugs. Tom explores the different types of drugs that exist, from depressants to stimulants, what effects do they have on the body. Mitch takes us through a step-by-step process of how ibuprofen works and the boys pontificate the human experience of reversing evolution’s healing process. Tom tries to understand the difference between the class of a drug and its schedule and possibly ends up in the right place. All that and more on this weeks episode!
