I guess it would have to be be default, since only older millennials and up can remember a time before internet.
not everyone is a westerner you know
my village didnāt get any kind of internet, even dialup until like 2009, i remember pre-internet and i still donāt have mortgage
e: now that iām thinking ADSL was a thing for maybe a year or two, but it was expensive and never really caught on. the first real internet experienceā¢ was delivered by a sketchy point to point radiolink that dropped every time it rained. much later it was all replaced by FTTH paid for by EU money
heh yeah
I had a pretty weird arc. I got to experience internet really early (ā93~94), and it took until ā99+ for me to have my first āregularā access (was 56k on airtime-equiv landline). it took until ā06 before I finally had a reliable recurrent connection
I remember seeing mentions (and downloads for) eggdrops years before I had any idea of what they were for/could do
(and here I am building ISPs and shitā¦.)
Lies. Internet at first was just some mystical place accessed by expensive service. So even if it already existed it wasnāt full of twitter fake news etc as we know it. At most you had a peer to peer chat service and some weird class forum made by that one class nerd up until like 2006
Haha. Not specifically.
Itās more a comment on how hard it is to separate truth from fiction. Adding glue to pizza is obviously dumb to any normal human. Sometimes the obviously dumb answer is actually the correct one though. Semmelweisās contemporaries lambasted him for his stupid and obviously nonsensical claims about doctors contaminating pregnant women with ācadaveric particlesā after performing autopsies.
Those were experts in the field and they were unable to guess the correctness of the claim. Why would we expect normal people or AIs to do better?
There may be a time when we can reasonably have such an expectation. I donāt think it will happen before we can give AIs training thatās as good as, or better, than what we give the most educated humans. Reading all of Reddit, doesnāt even come close to that.
