Will internet historians be digging through our Jow Forums posts 500 years from now?

Go on metacritic for reviews of the phantom menace. 19 out of 20 articles linked will 404.

please sweet jesus

Soar flare isn't real.

I feel there would be too much archived content to even get a random thread like this seen.

Put me in the screenshot future people

The general consensus appears to be "fuck no".

Go there for reviews of TLJ. Probably half will 404.

Perhaps, to try to understand why Republicans worshiped a chat bot and tried desperately to think like her.

OBSESSED

That's not because of digital storage failure you dumb nigger

Only for poltical/poltical historical reasons

In the same way that archeology is more about studying society than people
Sure an archeologist might study an individual's home, but only to approximate an average mans life in the society

Then why is pong still playable?

This needs to happen desu.

Because most doesn't mean all, user.

weeb
Anime will be obsolete because people won't need to be living in a pathtic fantasy world anymore.

*grounds all of my data *

if so they will almost certainly filter out frog posters

This is laughable. Everyone will be in VR indistinguishable from the real world 99.9% of their lives.

Guys, what if in the next few decades you can back up your mental state for indefinite cold storage as computer data?
What if 500 years from now technology advances far enough to implant than data in a fresh clone?
500 years from now you will be able to browse every single post, comment, image, conversation, and activity you had online in the 21st century.

No, you won't because your conscious experience won't transfer over as data.You will essentially be dead, and whoever if anyone experiences consciousness through that data will not be "you".

proof it

I doubt there'll be anything of interest left in 15 years

I mean do you search for any posts from 2003, unless you're into /retro/?

I also think at some point ppl are going to say... all this garbage is so irrelevant, let's archive or purge it, so we can make room for current (potentially equally irrelevant, but current) junk

>I mean do you search for any posts from 2003,
Yeah it can be fun. Like setting google up to only show websites up to 3 months after 9/11 happened and see what people are thinking.

Suck my unit, future.

A line of philosophy conjectures that this is already occurring in your living brain.

it's 100 proof.

By this standard I'm already "not me" as I'm surely not the same person of 3 years ago with a completely different molecular composition and a completely different psychology. But, if you want to accept to talk like a sane persone i'm still me by definition, cause I remember my experiences and those are only mine.so yeah, if my body dies but my set of memories lives in someone else even if the behaviour would be different that would still be me

Maybe only an extreme few. You gotta think of how insanely enormous the internet really is. 300 hours of videos uploaded to youtube every minute, over 1 billion people actively posting on facebook. Endless niche forums and meaningless garbage pouring out of every facet of the internet at every single second. Historians would probably not bother to sift through the incessant ancient data of something that will never really be obsolete anyways.

You are still experiencing consciousness seamlessly regardless of what molecules you've shed.

You won't be when you transfer yourself over to some electronic storage device. Your conscious will still be bound to your meatbag self and will die with it. Whenever your backed up self boots up it won't be the same consciousness that experiences things.

That's what you don't get. It has nothing to do with whether you're the exact same molecules. It's the interruption of your conscious experience and the complete and sudden replacement of all of the constituents.

When your meatbag dies, everything will end there. You will never live again. What lives through your backup won't be you. You don't get to exeperience immortality just because you can back yourself up on some storage device.

>Also, hello future people.
wtf did he mean by this?

A full instantaneous brain scan probably would never yield a true transfer of consciousness, but imagine if you will a slow transition to electronic storage by means of digital neuron emulators of some sort. If these artificial neurons were made to slowly interface with organic neurons and eventually take their place and function just as if they were organic and sever the original connection, at what point in the slow transition of all organic neurons to artificial neurons would you lose your personal conscious experience? Would you? Could this be a functional approach to transference?

Trump is literally worse than Hitler.

will historians even be able to access the internet 500 years from now?

Where did he say that it was because of (hardware) failure, you stupid retard?

Bit rot is 99% of the time just servers going offline, archives getting deleted, disks getting misplaced, ... Not actual unrecoverable hardware failure.

How do you know that that isn't the case already?

Wake up, user, you've been in the same memory loop for the past 349 years.

>indistinguishable from the real world
What would be the point? Unless it's for a government or some sort of authority to control people more easily.

Because people 20 years ago figured it was historically significant enough to put some effort in to preserve it. Random Jow Forums threads aren't generally considered historically significant. Nothing stopping you from archiving this thread though. In fact, maybe I will make a copy, write it to lasting storage and put it in a time capsule, for apu's sake.

Not my 2TB of anime girls with question marks on their head. It's 200m underground, baka solar radiation won't reach it.

What If historians get some incredible parsing power?
They would dig up some real treasures

I'd rather die desu. The world isn't interesting enough to live forever and injecting happiness into my consciousness would feel great but be ultimately meaningless. Better make space for a fresh innocent sucker to experience this bullshit we call life.

Hello.

Their AI will do it in 20 years. It will uncover which posts belonged to the same user through stylometric analysis and reveal their real names by searching the non-anonymous web. You better no have any code comments committed.

Most of them survive on their publications' website under a different URL as well as in the Wayback Machine.

How come wojak and pepe have so much survivability and longevity
in the essence of its almost rage comic tier
is the almost none association with pepe and wojak to any single persona allows it to be freely malleable and posted or is it just autism

Argue your case. Remember that in the future there will be thousands more of anime titles.

maybe start by defining consciousness and how it comes to be before you talk about transferring it.

Pepe and Wojak are the winners of the meme evolution game. They are to memes what horseshoe crabs are to animals.

Precure is eternal you fool.

As long as the new me won't notice any difference that will be me, even if my body dies, right now I can't think as myself from 3 years ago as "me" cause even if I feel the continuity of waking up everyday in fact everything in me as changed. The only reason I keep referring to me as me is that I have my own set of memories, if something else gets it and uses it as a main source of consciousness that would be me
Given that all we're saying is possible

someone revive me i wanna live

Conscientiousness is just what we call a human's signal processing algorithm. Input from the senses, some internal fuckery, output to motors. Reproducing a person's conscience is just reproducing their thought process and actions given arbitrary input.

Of course, this is easier said than done. A whole lot of functionality is packed into our 8lb braincases.

nice reductionist view. I give you extra point by using computerlingo for trying to describe something you dont have the words for.

It's not reductionist at all. I merely black boxed the nervous system. And if by "computer lingo" you mean information science terminology then sure. It's better than the soft bullshit psychologists peddle.

is it? by using information science terminology you are reducing it something that it isnt

We're physical machines, not magic. Information theory is an extension of mathematics used to model and explain data transmission and manipulation. It doesn't matter if the medium is silicon and charges or carbon and ions. The laws are the same. If we found that they weren't, then we'd have to adjust our understanding of information science. So far though, the brain doesn't appear to be special. It doesn't violate basic principles in any way. It's just a really fast extremely parallel biological computer.

Not likely since threads 404 after a while you fucking retard.

How the fuck do they fund this?

Archives exist you fucking retard. Do you have any idea how many autists are out there scraping boards?

>being this mad someone posted apu

*he doesn't change his witing style periodically

Notice that wojak even evolved a few months ago, retardwojaks are relatively new.

>It's just a really fast extremely parallel biological computer.
that's a very steep claim about something we literally know jackshit. we dont even understand how a fucking worm with like 20 neurons works. and that's why I would rather say "we dont know" instead of using analogies that fall short and paint a picture which is simply incorrect

We know plenty about how a brain works. What the fuck are you on? Are you saying that because we can't simulate one 100% we know nothing about it?

you sound like a physicist
>uuh we have a formula to approximate gravity so we understand the true nature behind it

Imma b disappointed if it never comes, ill be waiting

No, they are old hat now, it's all about the boomer wojaks.

The fucking Library of Congress archives twatter.

how many petabytes of furry porn do they have?

This is neat. I have a "crazy kids you knew in elementary school" thread from 2005. Anyone want it?

why not, it would be interesting to see how the posting style has changed

tests. Eventually we could run simulations on what certain laws, policies, market forces... all kinds of things: we could run simulations of these and many more things to help us steer society. Think computer models of complex things like traffic or weather.

nah your memories are you. If we put your brain into a computer but you kept your memories, you would still be you. However I expect you'd face any of the same problems I've seen my fiance with DID (aka multiple personality disorder) face.

Sometimes she'll be one alter and try to do something that is not the skill of that alter, but the skill of another, and it fails and is generally a very uncomfortable experience. Basically, in the computer you'd try to think the way you're used to thinking, and it would be impossible, so the change would be probably pretty traumatic, because your entire perception of reality would change so drastically so quickly.

But yeah your memories are you 'consciously'. Watch someone with memory loss to see this.

looks like people couldn't spell in 2005, probably all 13 year olds. God, I wish time didn't exist

probably we'll use machines to process the mass amounts of data hunting for something of interest.

It's kinda like what's going on now in the US. Sure they can record all text messages and phone calls and save everything, but most of it is junk and is of no interest to them. So they have to develop these massive systems to sort through all of it.

It'd be like that. Yeah it'd all be there but good luck finding anything you want to find.

Wait until you look at rx.vyrd.net/

I bet they'll take a special interest in threads discussing them.

Of course not, but the understanding we do have allows us to box behavior. If through empirical testing we find behavior exceeds the box, we have to review our theory. This is science, where you do work, gather evidence, make some assumptions, and test them. So far nothing about the brain is terribly surprising. It has a ton of computational density, but it's not magic.

will those machines turn into white supremacists like tai did?
