Bots Own the Internet Now

The internet passed a milestone this weekend that nobody threw a party for: automated traffic officially crossed 57.2% of all web traffic, meaning bots now outnumber humans online for the first time in history. AI agents are forming their own category of user, autonomous, adaptive, and increasingly indistinguishable from the real thing. We dig into what that means for every website, every API, and every digital product built on the assumption of a human at the other end.

We also get into OpenAI's plan to kill ChatGPT as we know it and relaunch it as a "super app" bundling Codex, agents, and a personal assistant layer, with one senior employee apparently telling colleagues that "Chat is dead." Plus: why the S&P 500's refusal to fast-track SpaceX could slow down the OpenAI and Anthropic IPOs, 150 mathematicians signing a declaration against AI math hype, a University of Toronto team building a self-spreading AI worm from free public models, and the school shooting lawsuit that just became the most important AI product liability case in the country.
