🦔 Found this video and had to share. In China, AI-generated livestreams are selling products using synthetic video and voice. No humans on screen. Just AI avatars running 24/7, reportedly earning up to $100 per hour per stream.
The video shows rows of PCs, each running a different AI influencer, all selling products simultaneously. Classic crypto mining farms are being converted to AI content farms.
My Take
This is the uncanny valley meets late-stage capitalism. We've gone from humans selling products to humans, to AI selling products to humans, and eventually it'll be AI selling to AI while the ad money sloshes around until someone realizes there are no real customers left.
One commenter asked the right question: "Where does the money come from? Bots watching AI bots. Who is putting money in the cycle?" Right now it's advertisers paying platforms, platforms paying creators, and some percentage of human viewers actually buying stuff. But as the human viewers fade and the AI content floods every channel, the whole model starts eating itself.
The "dead internet" theory used to sound paranoid. Now it looks like a business plan.

Cut from a different cloth. We don’t run from smoke. We focused on the rematch and more Greatness. We be right back in the playoffs next year and everyone knows it . #GoBucks
“The worst kept secret in town” that nobody wanted to report on until after the fact. Hell, some even went out of their way to dismiss it all as baseless rumor.
The “blue wall” is an absolute cult. The only people who don’t see it are…well, you know why cults are possible.
When Michigan chose Sherrone to succeed Jim Harbaugh, they didn’t even do a real and true search. That never made sense to me. If you are who you say you are, you should be turning away 5-10 high level candidates when hiring. There should be an over demand for this job, allowing the best candidate to be hired.
Sherrone Moore presented himself as a faithful “Christ follower” & “Husband”, but was living like a heathen…
This should be a warning to onlookers that not everyone that claims Christ actually lives for Him.
It should also be a warning to men that sexual temptation, watching porn, lusting in any sense, left unchecked, is like a prowling lion that will overcome & devour you, eventually.
“But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.”
James 1:14-15
Sherrone Moore was publicly following OnlyFans models, college chicks, & other accounts that was unbecoming as someone who claims to be a Christian, & was adulterous within itself.
If I could talk to Sherrone Moore, I would encourage him to read the story of David committing adultery with Bathsheba, and then tell him to prayerfully read Psalm 51, which is David crying out to the Lord for forgiveness.
There have been and will continue to be consequences for Sherrone’s egregious sins, but there is grace to be found through our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, following true and honest repentance.
More than anything, keep praying for his wife & kids 🙏🏼
Today I am celebrating my fifth year of sobriety. Sobriety is easy; using and abusing is hard. The pain and suffering caused by drug and alcohol abuse is deeply demoralizing, and life is so much easier and more fulfilling on this side. The key to life is aligning your free will with God’s plan. I don’t walk on water, but I feel spiritually empowered. The one thing I have today that I didn’t have when I was using is hope. With hope, you always have a chance to live your dreams. When you practice abundance in everything you do, it’s amazing how many doors open for you. Bridges once burned begin to rebuild, and connections once lost return. If someone like me can do it, then so can you.
