Billy Markus, sometimes referred to as “Shibetoshi Nakamoto” on X, has released a concerning forecast on the impending effects of artificial intelligence on Internet users and businesses that rely on Internet traffic.
He also discussed his thoughts on the training of AI, and it appears that this result has not pleased him.
“Search engines moving toward AI”
Markus muses about the future of artificial intelligence and how it will affect a broad range of businesses that rely on the Internet and search engines, as well as regular Internet users and how they like to obtain information online.
The co-founder of Dogecoin, the original joke cryptocurrency, stated in a recent tweet that he anticipates the next few years to be “interesting.” He continued by discussing his thoughts on the impending advancement of AI-based search engines.

Markus stated in a tweet that search engines are beginning to rely more on AI. Many Internet users are likely to cease visiting websites in order to gather information as a result of this. As a result, businesses that depend on search engine traffic will probably go out of business.
The third important item on his list is that AI would be trained “by random comments from you and me” instead of by journalists (presumably through their posts and comments on X and other social media platforms). Markus will either be unable to imagine what will happen or choose not to discuss it.
Elon Musk’s “Black Mirror” AI warning
Tech tycoon Elon Musk made a remark on the new feature called Recall that Microsoft launched as a part of their Copilot AI, as reported by U.Today. Recall continuously captures screenshots of all the actions users do on their Windows-powered desktops and laptops, as well as every website they visit, in an effort to help users develop a “memory.”
Users will have the ability to browse and search through this “memory” after the AI has analysed these screenshots. Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft, gave the audience a worldwide assurance that this information will not be put to the company’s databases.
Elon Musk said that he will undoubtedly disable this function going forward and referred to it as a “Black Mirror” episode.
