This reminds me when the kiddies would group together to DDoS internet sites.

I hadn't thought of that parallel before. LLMs are transitioning the society into script kiddies.

		This does make a quite a bit of sense. When I was a teenager in the 90s/early aughts, it was all IRC, script kiddie stuff. Reckless abandon. What worries me is that it seems like full-grown adults are happy to accelerate the dead internet and put security at risk. I assume it's not just teenagers running these stupid LLM bots.
