It's an old graph.
I've been on /sci/ for years and I've noticed the quality of posts and IQ of posters decreasing rapidly.

I noticed it started declining around the time /pol/ doing it's manifest destiny thing. AKA trying to "red pill" all other boards on 4chan. I feel like many of them never left and continually troll /sci/ with "i'm only pretending to be a retard here for the keks" type posts. Most often with green pepes. This has had a side effect however. See pic. The retardation has become normalized, and as a result low IQ posts are in the majority now.

I miss having intelligent thought provoking threads.

No, what destroys the intelligence or intellect of a community is pretending that sentimental quotes from dead white men of a bygone era are to be overvalued in worship as representative of your intellect or intelligence to conveniently support whatever haphazard opinion or preference you have about a subject.

[Anonymous No.10651659]

>>10651640
Not him. The sentiment of the quote is true enough. Edgy retards are the new norm for social media. Not just the chan. I'd suspect malevolence but idiocy is more likely. Fiddling while the world burns used to be seen as grotesque rather than the norm.

I'd suspect Russia. They infiltrate social media everywhere else. At one point 4chan was literally the biggest social media website in the world. Why would we be immune to Russia trying to get people to hate, fight each other and destroy themselves?

If anyone's been around enough they'd know the stark contrast of pre-2016 election cycle 4chan vs post-Trump 4chan. It's a totally different community now. The subcultures between boards barely even exists anymore due to cross posting Ruskies trying to get peoples jimmies all rustles.

4chan use to be the fountain from which all internet memes came from. Literally every internet meme originated here first. This place was literally overflowing with the memes. Name 1 new meme that's come out of 4chan in the year 2019. Just 1 good one. This place is a fucking graveyard of creativity.

This is also true of facebook and twitter and every other social media outlet... I wonder if in 5 years or so the internet will be ruined by A.I. botnet spam and hired malicious actors....
Remember the russians did this openly on social media specifically to sow discord... they would organize leftist/conservative protests right next to each other

I reckon the USA/China and every country in the world will start doing the same thing on the internet to subvert and counter other spy agencies....

So in the next 5 years expect the internet debate on every relevant topic to be swamped by bots and trollfarms and it's just no use arguing with them because they are literally not real people

The decline is empirically measurable by the amount of memes being generated. /sci/ hasn't generated a single meme all year. That's 5 months with out one single new meme. We use to pop them out on a weekly basis when this place was new.

Algorithms to measure how much intellect, imagination, research, and piracy of copyrighted material (always an index the epistemic hunger usual in strong minds) went into each board on any given month of archives are not very difficult to conjure, whatever boring drudgery is likely to be involved in mining the data and writing the code. Such as:

>diction size (including mathematical symbols)
>variety of subject matter implied by subjects and objects named, especially in original posts
>grammatical correctness sustained over long sentences
>the relative absence of usages, especially neologisms & slang, associated with lowest percentile demographics, particularly with respect to dogmatic religion, domestic violence, popular television, urban poverty, and substance abuse.
>proportion of original posts and reply posts that are not verbatim copies of previous ones
>proportion of images that are not recycled from recent posts or traceable to previous ones by filename
>number of new variations on pasta
>image resolution, compression ratio, bitrate in videos, and other such evidence of rudimentary aesthetic standards.
>time-depth of cultural references as an index of memory and the aptitude for prolonged reflection.

These are things that should come to mind immediately and intuitively, without even drawing inferences from search results and recommendations, about how big data analytics do what they do, either for or against the user. But it should be painfully obvious how much more technology of that sort is being weaponized by state and private institutions to monitor and misinform the public. Pathological power is at large, and on an expertise spending spree to troll the world in the worst and most tiresome way, and make demagoguery into a more exact science than ever.

algorithms may be able to detect new content but they can't detect if the new content is any good or not. They can make an attempt by measuring how often a new meme is reposted, but really what that'd be doing is reinforcing all the forced memes.
In such a scenario where an AI generates memes based on how frequent they're used, or even a troll farm full of humans generating memes based on their use frequency, what you'd end up is an AI/farm that pumps out tons and tons of shitty variations of the same thing. Like thousands of wojack and pepes.
I'm not saying wojack or pepe are bad, just that they're stale memes to the point where old 4chan would have abandoned it like the plague.

tl;dr AI will never be able to measure if creative ideas are actually good ideas or not.

No doubt AI will never be able to measure creativity, but it can be used to measure what usually correlates with it, and is already being used for that purpose. It's merely a "likely inference" about the quality of content produced by the activity of a known group or individual. In any case it's probably a good thing that it can't do more than that. As for Pepe & Wojak, I'm astonished by how many variations & subtle gradations continue to be accumulate, though I'm more impressed the farcial extremes Wojak has been taken to, ultra-bleak blackpill Wojak and retarded Wojak particularly. It literally takes a whole lot of feeling to dish up stuff that good.
