    Every year in April, I used to check whether someone had uploaded a new video of a giant squid. I was always so excited! When I was growing up, these things were mythologized nearly to the same degree as unicorns or dragons, so seeing them, even in tatters and bobbing across the surface of the water like a mess of smelly pool noodles, was a nearly religious experience.

    I quit this year because AI videos are all that I can find. I don’t need chopped up videos of giant squids stating that they’re “colossal squids” in uncanny AI cadence written by an AI and edited by an AI. I don’t need AI-produced replications of giant squids swimming or melting. I just want to find out whether any more scientific expeditions have filmed a creature I used to consider a legend.

    We live in an era beyond objective, filmable truth, and that pisses me off.

      It’s so sad. I feel like we need to be hoarding all sorts of random media that was put out pre-AI, because it’s flooding everything. Videos, music, gaming, historical photos/videos…

      Random example: I have a folder of desktop wallpapers that I’ve been casually adding to for the last decade or so. Literally thousands of them by this point, but I haven’t added anything recently because every source is inundated with AI generations now.

        This is as good a time as any to recommend downloading a copy of Wikipedia! And if you already have your copy, please seed afterward!

          I love seeding Wikipedia but it seems like nobody ever needs me to, there’s always like 800 seeders and only 2-3 clients at most, who never connect.

      Out of curiosity, any particular reason you checked in April every year?

        None, really. Started devouring every morsel of information I could a bit over a decade ago, until it turned into less than a trickle in April, and then I quit. Then April sprang back the year after, I remembered my compulsion, and I checked for more information again until there was nothing left. And then it turned into a tradition for me the year after

    I can’t believe people still think Bigfoot is real. It’s obviously just a Yeti in a gorilla suit.

    Bigfoot was the second shooter at JFK’s assassination so he had to go into hiding but was subsequently killed by the CIA

      The true story: Fives “older self” fired the first shot, it got redirected back at him by „Days of Future Past“ Magneto. But then a SCP-1000 Bigfoot stepped in as the replacement sniper. World History is crazy.

    And ghosts too. You’d think we’d all be up to our eyeballs in ghosts videos by now but no.

    We all know why of course. Ghosts are just lazy. How can I be expected to believe in a group who clearly don’t believe in themselves?

    Edit: also bigfoot: “no way, those MFs will make we work a job. You ain’t catching me with that!”

      I feel like there was an uptick in ghost and similar unexplained phenomena sightings every time some new camera technology came out though just from people not understanding the new kinds of artifacts those medias produced.

    This is because we have seen a lot of new tech that makes cameras water resistant/proof and technological advancements in submarines. No one’s made a new backwoods proof camera yet.
