i think projects like KnowYourMeme and lost meme archive are actually really cool because i believe they will be crucial in documenting and preserving this era in internet cultural history and especially with all the censorship these days i’m glad someone is writing things down

in class this week I summarized Saïd's "Orientalism" by comparing it to AI: "you know how AI content is getting worse because it's now being trained based on its own output? that's how the West creates stereotypes about the Orient and teaches itself about its own superiority."
