We were always told the internet is forever, but digital decay is extremely real.
I was trying to find a certain forum post from the late 2000s, and the whole site is just gone. There’s not even any backup in the Wayback Machine. It’s millions of old fan sites, defunct forums, and image posts (RIP old Photobucket) that have been disappearing because hosting costs money. Large swaths of internet culture from the 2000s and 2010s have simply disappeared.
What’s a particular website, fandom, or internet rabbit hole you once loved that has disappeared?

AI is already diagnosing diseases better than some doctors but i still feel weird about it personally

like if a screen told me "you have xyz" i don't think i'd fully believe it even if it's 99% accurate

is that just me being emotional or do you guys feel the same way?

Like I was having a long conversation with Claude and it referenced something I said like 20 messages ago perfectly. Is it actually storing context or just predicting what I probably said earlier? Genuinely can't tell anymore lol
