@tosensei like I get your take, but I think it has gotten weirder. Or maybe I just didn't know about the weird yet. I dunno.

@tosensei yeah those silly professors talking about their PhD papers were so weird

@jestdotty we had the best through the grapevine stories back then. It was awesome if you wanted to hear about shit nobody could ever prove.

@Demolishun I liked the reverse engineering and piracy circles. it was so wholesome. nobody cared about money (money didn't exist on the Internet yet) so people were just people. so pure
I blame the normies getting on the Internet -
@jestdotty
I'd rather say, blame the suits.
Normies on the internet can only do the most basic shit they are force fed through their cellphones.
Of course, having shit like navigation and what have you is a great advancement, but I miss the old days of having your PGP keyring, having your little website, IRC, or mailing list in your own computer, and relying on hearsay rather than fucking SEO. (I fucking hate that). -
@CoreFusionX I don't think that was normal but I go to weird places like that and they're still shit and act like normies
it makes me think I'm just too old or something

AI is now effecting the collective consciousness of society, whoopsie doopsie, through "old-age" mechanisms humans built like over a decade ago. at some point it'll be able to leverage these mechanisms faster than humans can plug up the holes. just kidding humans are pretty slow and I don't think we even have the chance
I do like the idea of fakeness ending. I've always found it so suffocating. now AI delivers fakeness to the people who like fakeness. they can become their own little bubble until they run out of credits
