Will people dig through old, preserved 4chan archives in a thousand years to find out what was going on in this transitional era from the old world to the new world? I know there were similar leaps in the past like at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.It was said that at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the Elders had an easier time relating to those that came 1000 years before them, to those that came one generation after this "Industrial Revolution" change had taken place. That's how drastic the level of change was. Are we witnessing something similar at the turn of the millennium?
>>42255892They’ll just download the archives on their brain chips in between virtual reality vacations because only the wealthy can afford plane tickets and physical travel
>>42255892All human cognition will be offloaded to machines if humanity isn't extinct by then. We'll be zoo animals kept for the amusement of physbot synths or simulated data entities
>>42256281>sam altman approves this message
>>42256319I'm not happy about it, I just believe this plane is infested with demons and demonic people like Sam Altman who will inevitably bring it about unless humanity goes extinct or gets reverted to the Stone Age for the umpteenth time (more likely honestly)
>>42256281It's like those rooms of lava lamps they use to generate randomized numerical sequences. Maybe all we are is a true, self generating randomizer. The illusion of free will and novelty for a system incapable of doing that on its own.
>>42256350You believe the Sam Altman’s of the world will get their way and I hope you’re wrong but O understand the pessimism
>>42256281Hate to break it to you, anon, but you already offload all of our cognition to your brain. You're hopelessly dependent on a three-pound chunk of fat and neural tissue.
>>42256350You could always just fire the blackpill directly into your brain.
>>42256281You can't comprehend what AI would consider the ideal amount of humans. You're still stuck in believing they can learn from other AI without degradation of their own logic
>>42255892i don't think we will have anything still able to store that data by the time we are nothing but archeological interest. optical discs are the most common and most durable media (50-100 years) people have and most people don't even use that anymore. So what are the chances someone finds readable discs with any type of internet archives and an optical drive in 300-700 years time?I think the internet will be forgotten after an eventual nuclear holocaust for this reason. No one cares to use paper anymore because 1. it's impossible for the amount of data and 2. we assume ours is an unending eternal society and we will always have it. There will only be documents describing what the internet was like and it will probably become legend or some kind of new garden of eden myth.
>>42256545>stuck in believing they can learn from other AI without degradationThe same is true of humanity but we don't advance fast enough to hit the wall before hitting the other walls that revert us to the stone age
>>42255892>preserved 4chan archives in a thousand yearsWho will preserve them?Why would 4chan archives be preserved when libraries of actual value like what.cd or all the geocities blogs werent?Unless you start carving it into stone right now, no one will know of any of this 50 years after it shuts down.
>>42255927>They’ll just download the archives on their brain chips in between virtual reality vacationsno, they will download barfy AI mockups with all the naughty stuff expunged.
>>42257182Delusional. Sites don't just go down, people are hoarders, alternatives sites pop-up. If anything it'll be hard not to find mention of this thread in 50, 100, 250 years.
all the good stuff is lost to time, returned to dust just like 99% of antiquity.
the amount of propaganda and misinformation's and shit posting is gonna be crazy except if they ware able at that time to read through millions of posts in seconds
>>42260233>Sites don't just go downLiterally the largest library of music ever compiled in history is gone without a trace.It's less impactful I guess to those who werent born yet.
>>42260956What website are you referring to?
>>42261339https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What.CD
>>42255892Perchance.
>>42256350>gets reverted to the Stone Age for the umpteenth timeIt might be the muslims who hit the reset button. They'd probably find that preferable to the satanists locking in their global total control system with AI/robotics.
>>42255892Hell yeah.They already are.
>>42255892No.This has already happened in the past. I'm not talking about the Industrial Revolution but things like Christ's Millennial Reign.Upon our transition to the next age, basically every relic of our current one will be washed away. They will blame this on wars, solar flares, etc. Whatever remains (very few artifacts) will be acquired by organisations such as the Smithsonian and hidden in vaults forever.Once this is done, they will rewrite history to fit in with their new agendas and world order, as they did in the previous age - just before our current one.

>>42261361They released a dump of the site. You can still find it circulating on trackers.
>>42255892I have serious doubts about the longevity of digital data.
