If you think hyperlinks have any danger of going extinct, I have shares in a crypto-based AI-powered bridge to sell you.
But will it integrate NFTs?
BRB, raising another round of capital to integrate NFTs
The whole thing is on the blockchain its a WEB 3.0 phenomenon using Quantum Computing Running on fusion power.
In VR I hope
I believe it means existing links, which many are already gone. Not the ability to link.
Sigh… so clickbait title strikes again? I wish I was surprised.
…But how can I click on it? All of the hyperlinks are gone.
Oh no! Anyway… 🫠
That was my guess, I can’t get the page to load due to an error. Maybe AI’s fault too?
Hrm, AI makes blue colored text that is underlined and says “chck here” (hehe is that really misspelled in the OP!? anyway in my hypothetical here it is!:-P), but it doesn’t go anywhere!? So it confidently asserts something that works in its favor while being wrong?
Naw, I blame Reddit for that behavior:-).
So the problem is that AI based search engines dont give credit to their source sites because they do not link to the source site, but instead steal the content in a legally untested method and serve that up.
Nothing to do with links going extinct.
To be fair, it isn’t aware of what source it’s using. It’s not “referencing” anything in particular. It’s just trained to replicate a bunch of data. It doesn’t understand it or anything. It doesn’t know what came from one source and what came from another, and how accurate any of those are, or what the context of it is. It just generates something that resembles it’s data based on the input.
It can if it’s using something like RAG.
Are you saying that my knowledge of how to hyperlink in HTML is going to be obsolete?!
Of course. The modern way is
<div class="inline text-blue-700 underline" onclick="window.location.href='https://[email protected]/_40795251_Penis_Free_Movies_'">Click here</div>
Uh you’re using tailwind, the future really is bleak
Yes, instead you’ll have a text saying “To jump to the article, recite the following:
OK Google, show summary of the most popular human-written article for 7th December 2043 related to Starship launch failure

and solution for your today’s Captcha puzzle.”
Can we carve out a part of the internet please where we go back to super basic html pages that are a mix of self hosted hobby blogs and university research sites? It was good then. Everything’s gotten so noisy, and busy, and shit.
There is Neocities and a few other sites that allow you to make and share your own sites. Though some sites are more than just basic html, so experience will vary, but you can find basic pages dedicated to hobbies and such if you sift through them. Only problem with these sites/services, assuming the other ones are run like Neocities, is that you are given a pretty limited amount of space.
Gemini project is doing that
Gemini, the protocol is built on never adding new shit, so it’s only basic pages
The browser you’re looking for is literally called Links.
There’s other types of “small web” out there too.
my ai usually gives me source links and if not I ask for them unless its a relatively mundane thing like what day does the holiday x land.
