This happened at my work with internal docs as we switched from an ancient intranet to a new service that had a ton more features but no backwards compatibility so all the pages got updated to PDFs with helpful links that went nowhere and it caused chaos for like 3 months.

It’s an older meme sir, but it checks out.

And Trump just copied the slogan from Reagan anyway.

What a refreshing meme use. Makes me want a beer actually.

The tale of the internet has been curation, and I would describe it a little differently.

First we had hand made lists of website (Yahoo directory, or we had a list of websites literally written in pen in a notebook saying “yahoo.com” and “disney.com”).

Then it was bot-assisted search engines like Google.

Then there was so much content we didn’t even know where to start with Google, so we had web rings, then forums, then social media to recommend where to go. Then substack style email newsletters from your chosen taste makers are a half-step further curated from there.

If that is all getting spammed out of existence, I think the next step is an AI filter, you tell the AI what you like and it sifts through the garbage for you.

The reasons we moved past each step are still there, we can’t go back, but we can fight fire with fire.

Do Lemmy next.
