Do you think anyone will be able to remember who any of us are in 600 years?

You never know, look at Ea Nasir.
Copper is so reusable, any of you could be currently affected by the poor quality

There's a running phrase that gets' mentioned a lot in the Peanuts comic strip: "500 years from now, who'll know the difference?"
Just wanted to mention that. Peace

I think some of the tech geniuses of our time will be remembered since it was the birth of the internet.
I mean, we remember Da Vinci, Columbus, and Martin Luther. That was 600 years ago.

Some aspects of that tradition are commendable, though. It would be neat to see this updated in a less male-centric fashion.
Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people.

What will anyone remember any of us in a 1 million years?

Remember isnt the word for it but they will probably have some vague allusion to the depravity and unbridled hubirus of the flesh times.

I imagine some archivists might find the lost fragments of this server is some ruins and by some miracle, maybe extract this very thread.
Yes. Or, they'll get the thread with the awkward dog meme about a microwave. It's beautiful to contemplate.

Why can’t it be both?
Why does it need to be one or the other?
Trust me if someone finds the cure for cancer, the cure will still be around in 200 years.
It can be both, digital records last forever. The Forgotten Generation will be the the last forgotten generation.

We all will be living inside the weights of LLMs from this era.

Gonna be awkward as fuck if there is an afterlife and you run into OP after you both expire.

Me personally? Absolutely not and that's great. Someone who is alive now? Probably yes. We know about Socrates and Caesar and Leif Erickson and Ghengis Khan and Cleopatra.

I think I'm part of what makes it stupid tho

Ok that's actually an interesting use of AI. Train on only media from that time period. This is Daniel, from the year 1400. Tell me about the Catholic Church

That's why I said roughly. The genealogical concept behind this is Ahnenschwund or pedigree collapse.
Fair enough. I just wanted to make an incest joke

The vast, vast majority of people are forgotten within 100 years. Pretty much need to be in an extremely high position where records are kept, like presidents, or do something extraordinarily positive or negative.
I strongly doubt anyone reading this post will be remembered after the people they met or interacted with directly have died.
I'm still alive and I'm already forgotten.

Tradition is just narcissists convincing you to do things their way because change is

Hi to the future!

I am doing Genealogy as a hobby and in most of the lines I am in the 18the century, in some in the 17th century.
What I learned during this hobby is a simple thing - the more generations you go back, the more ancestors you have - the formula is 2^n. So if you go back 10 generations, you have roughly 1,024 ancestors.
Now imagine how many descendants these people have? I have met plenty of others nerds who are also doing genealogy, cousins by 7the grade and so on. There is always some dude doing this stuff, so I am pretty sure there will be one in the future.
Of course I can only go back about 300-350 years, but we people today are leaving way more traces on this planet than my ancestors in the 17th century.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I have a geneology book dating back 20 generations. Its all in tradition chinese and kinda blurry and I kinda never learned most of the charcters besides the basics. But I skimmed it and aparantly it dates back to 1200s. A lot of mention about emperors and stuff. Unfortunately I can't share it with y'all since that's kinda doxxing and I posted too much political stuff on Lemmy.
It's only the male ancestors, patriarchy and all, ya know.
Honestly, besides the snippets if history, I don't know what the point of the whole name lists is. Can't even find the aunts on there, what good is that for.
Like... there's not even a portrait (like a hand drawn one), just a bunch of names. What, am I gonna use that inherit some long lost magical kingdom that's gonna appear out of nowhere? Am I the Dragonborn? No lolz. I can't understand "tradition"
I guess its cool for declorations, make the house look ancient and mysterious?
The original is alresdy falling apart lol (probably not the original original, probably copied at least 5 times already, no way it survived 800 years), then all the genology books in the village kinda got consolidated into one big one containing all households. Everyone in the village has the same last name (I think). Y'all get to have sex in highschool, back in the days, people didn't get to choose, my parents kinda just got introduced to each other and they wete pressured to marry. Its technically consensual, but if they reject, they are just gonna introduce you to someone else. Kinda reminds me of the beginning of House of Dragon (except the part about being royalty of course, we are all just ordinary people). And my parents yell at each other a lot, kinda a fragile marriage...
