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?

All 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

I'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)

It'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.

i 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.

>stuck in believing they can learn from other AI without degradation
The 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

>preserved 4chan archives in a thousand years
Who 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.
