lol I never thought about it that way but holy shit not one thing is made for me anymore.

yeah i stole it from Matt Colville, only content creator i watch really he's a GenX gamer designer / writer and was talking about it during a stream how when you reach a certain age you basically don't exist anymore as far as market research goes for shit like media when people we're asking him what he thought of movies and games not catering to us anymore.

Meanwhile, boomer entertainment was like watching fred astaire whos prime as in the 40's, in the 1960s.

I saw this awesome clip from dinner with andre last night, its a classic internet meme..

The joke about it in the 2010s was, that back then they complained about "the same things as we do now"...

However in 2025 I have a different take.

They are indeed complaing about livin gin a multi decade age of extreme exess and freedom to do whatever they wanted.

Be a drunk, buy a house, domsetic violence, burried as a great father and hero.

I don't think todays society, and I don't even think in 2010, we were "bored" I think we were desperately trying to grow with the economy. I think we are miserable not bored now.

And I think this clip perfectly encapsulates how the boomer society, had it all, but were still misanthropes.

We are not bored this generation, we're depressed.

Boomers were bored.

That's UNFAIR! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I look forward to ai-generated posts complaining about the proliferation of ai-generated content. Actually I'm sure they already exist aplenty.

yeah dead internet theory is just internet reality now in places people actually congregate, will filter down to us pretty quickly i imagine

this shit's dope for tech support though, Gemini is spoon feeding me through installing Ubuntu in WSL, has been faster to just copy paste errors into a chatbot than actually googling and finding some forum posts somewhere.

I am definitely amazed at how r*tarded we've become (so much so I have to put a star in that word).

we're allowed to say retarded again, Shane Gillis did a down syndrome joke on SNL last year.

even has 3k upvotes on echoChamber.com
https://www.reddit.com/r/funnyvideos...down_syndrome/

edit: wrong clip

Gillis’s opening monologue used terminology that could have gotten him in trouble based on the new anti-speech activists in the media — he says “gay” and “retarded,” for example. But the “gay” joke is about how little boys grow up as their moms’ “gay best friend,” and his extended riff on members of his family who have Down syndrome concludes with a punchline about a bully calling his niece “retarded.”

the generative music on actual hardware with algorithms from the 1950s or w/e still makes superior music than the LLMs

Yeah I don't think AI will ever make anyhting good on its own for at least XX years.

But, an artist should use it to make a symphony in their bedroom that they put together by hand that sounds unlike anything anyone has ever heard before.

I swear to god the worst thing about living on a spec of dust in the gigantic cosmos is knowing that out there are entire histories and planets full of video games and music and entertainment but we cant watch, listen, and play them.
