I can’t speak to “emotional state”, but the thottening is a real thing (I’ve spent weeks trying to stop having all these ass models from cluttering up my feed, it’s impossible)

I’m convinced insta knows your a guy and will blast you with reels full of chicks no matter what you do.

My guy, everything has changed and yet nothing has changed. You are arguing specifics while I’m arguing bigger picture. I’m not saying your wrong or I’m wrong, I just think we have a different view and measuring with a different kind of ruler, and yet I don’t think we are really in disagreement, this seems to be arguing over semantics of what videos were in ~95 (very low res and shit quality fyi) and how many people had access to those shit quality videos - I’m just saying they were always there

It’s still the same bullshit - people looking at text on their terminals. Be it SMS, be it discord, etc. people looking at images, listening to music, etc. inb4 “durr durr no 4k res in 95”, no shit

I really don’t know what your crusade is with this topic, but I actually do have(and still use) the same computer I had in the late 90’s - SGI Indigo2 Extreme I got when I bought Alias PowerAnimator. Me and you were absolutely not doing the same stuff with our systems

My guy, wtf were you doing in the 90’s on a computer? of course we didn’t have streaming or just stupid useless videos that litter YouTube now, but there were video files all over the place to download and watch. For whatever reason, people were making the time and effort to digitize videos. Mpeg codecs came out in the early 90’s - I specifically remember efnet irc members posting urls to mpegs of Weird Japanese vomit porn. Amiga scene was strong too, (video toaster came out in 1990…). Not really sure why you even feel the need to doubt any of this

Oh brother the Grammar nerds are here, as if that really takes away from what I’m saying.

In the mid and late 90’s people knew how to make videos, they didn’t link a YouTube URL but did post links to where one could find a video online, and IRC has bots that did file transfers, as well as people would use public ftp’s as file dumping grounds.

I was there from the start, you must of never BBS’d or IRC’d - shit was amazing in the early days.

I mean honestly nothing has really changed - we are still at our terminals looking at text. Only real innovation has been inline pics, videos and audio. 30+ years ago one had to click a link to see that stuff

Keep your filthy paws away from my boy George Lucas

What do you think they think when they see an AOL email

That actually explains this stupidity doesn’t it …

Honestly none of this means anything at the moment. This might be some sort of calculated trickery from China to give Nvidia the finger, or Biden the finger, or a finger to Trump’s AI infrastructure announcement a few days ago, or some other motive.

Maybe this “selloff” is masterminded by the big wall street players (who work hand-in-hand with investor friendly media) to panic retail investors so they can snatch up shares at a discount.

What I do know is that “AI” is a very fast moving tech and shit that was true a few months ago might not be true tomorrow - no one has a crystal ball so we all just gotta wait and see.

And that mathematician won’t see the profits for that faster algorithm and you will never hear their name - shits been happening in tech for decades

Listen to what you’re saying man - Spinless coward is gonna spineless coward, and he showed us he is a spinless coward - can’t trust a person with no integrity.

Pathetic take. Some of you are clearly miserable ppl who just want to hate on ppl doing stuff.

And what did the model or photographer do to warrant this being an example of they deserved it

I wish I could be on the jury for this one (if he’s caught and not unalived by cops)

I feel this is all moot. When we run out of fossil fuels and go off the energy cliff, the nuclear facilities will basically build themselves, assuming there will be anyone around that will even know how to build a nuclear reactor
