Hi all! This video has recently been getting a lot of attention from the media. In some articles they are crediting me for having done something unique, but in my opinion this is unfair. Anyone can repeat this process with algorithms that are currently published on Github; all of them are in the video description. Credit should go to DIAN, Topaz AI, ESRGAN, Waifu2x, DeOldify and other developers who are part of the worldwide ML-community and contributing to humanity by making these algorithms publicly available. Thus, for future reference, you do not need to ask my permission to use this video; you can do with it whatever you want 💖 Welcome to the future, friends

This is exactly what we needed right now. A different time where things were simpler even in their own busy chaos. Smiling children, hard workers, people who really cared about their appearances, and NYC as a Teenage essentially. This is beautiful and I appreciate your desire to credit so many who worked hard to help your work be possible, but accept the pat on the back, you done good.

My great great grandmother was born in 1911 and still lives at 111, outlived 4 monarchs, World War I and World War II, outlived her two children and lived to see 10 Popes in her lifetime. She feels very good and has all the comfort in the world, I visit her as much as I can. She is the oldest person in Romania and the second oldest person in Hungary, although she is not confirmed yet. She told me so much about her life and how she went through all the hardships ever since, I wrote in a journal everything I learned from her. She had 4 siblings and they all passed away, her husband died 21 years ago and together they had 4 children who only 2 still live. She has been through so much but we who are from her generation we care for her and that she never misses love from us.

Not a single person alive today has any memories of this year, aside from maybe Maria Branyas. There's nobody currently out there who can say from experience how things actually were back then anymore. Truly a different world.

[@user-eb5cb6ud1p]

We don't necessarily need memories ourselves though. 1911 was only two lifetimes ago. There are people today whose grandparents or even parents were alive back then. Their lives overlapped with ours and we could have heard their stories. My own grandparents were teenagers at that time and lived long enough for me to know them as a teen myself. And yes, it was a VERY different world. Many of these films are misleading because they tend to show only "interesting" sights like business districts and well-off people. The reality for many wasn't nearly as wonderful as a lof of the "It was SO much better back then" posters claim. Tenements and slums aren't unique to modern NYC.

[@Topic_34443]

Some are still alive

[@derp8575]

True. However, some of us grew up around people who were from that time. My grandparents were born in 1917. Truly the last morally sound and sane generation. My grandparents weren't exceptions to the rule. They were the rule.

[@derp8575]

@@user-eb5cb6ud1p Even the slums were better off than today. No government dependence, low rates of single motherhood, fewer drug addicts, fewer divorced people, fewer prison inmates, almost no pornography, etc. The collective moral compass was generally better than present-day. Then came along the baby boomers. Each passing generation becomes more unstable and less moral. I've never understood the denialism of people who think that life was worse back then compared to today.

[@zx50]

@Galileo I think it's more a case of 'time being captured' forever than time travel.

[@SlowWinterNuts]

@forsenCD It's time travel from the perspective of two distinct points in time by the range of a hundred years interacting with one another, albeit in one way/direction. People from a hundred years ago stared at a camera with little thought, unbeknownst to them that they are staring at what would be people from a hundred years in the future staring right back at them; It gives the eerie sense of time travel via separating a regular human interaction (looking at one another) by over a century with a towering wall of ignorance from one side, like looking at your reflection in a mirror without realizing it's actually a window with a reflective side that people are looking at you from.
