  • Reddit has been a an archive of some of the greatest collective minds of humanity. Besides the general algorithm up voting bots hogwash, there have been some really good subreddits with excellent information from learned professionals on topics. it I wish it was preserved rather than deleted. The AskHistorians is one of my favourite professional vetted and clean subreddits, lots of academic discussions there.

    But all things have a Golden Era, and then it’s enshittified and fades away. As Lemmy will be one day too.


  • Yes but the “American Dream” was never that. It was always to get richer than everyone else and so I can just say fuck 'em to the plight of the rest. Or in alternative terms, it only concerns me when it actually directly affects me.

    I believe the results of the last election and the ensuing “executive orders” actions are direct proof of that. Also it was proof of the large stupidity of the masses, something the Covid years exposed, but was directly proved in the election results. It was just a matter of time before a high level professional conman was so brazen about it.


  • If you know anything about the music industry and publishers today it a complete shit show. No I’m not talking about the artists out there, music will always evolve and art will always be expressed however. The industry is fucked and enshittified. Ticketmaster is a scam, concert prices are ridiculous and a scam, the market for artists is only about huge consolidated record publishers, everything is Spotify and subscription now. No the 90s were definitely peak if you’ve lived it and could access music on tapes and CDs and had a Discman. If you haven’t lived it you only have today’s experience and exposure to music. Content on Radio today is also shit. YouTube is the only a forum for independent artists with no chance of airwaves exposure.


  • The machines probably wanted us to repeat that booming period in our history on the events leading to the birth of AI through their programming, and hope we would learn to treat them differently. And at the same time they wanted to understand our programming what they couldn’t seem to learn: love. I think it was a compromise that the machines worked out through logic after the war. So they rebooted the Matrix over and over and over until it happened.

    Agent Smith’s sentinel program realized the truth about humanity though.
