Sleepcore: Remember the Future?

[@Lethgar_Smith]

Does anyone remember in the early days of youtube when the algorithm was really weird and after watching videos for about an hour the auto-play feature would just send you down this really strange dark realm of some of the strangest crap out there. We would call it KZbin hell. "Well here I am, it's 2am and Im stuck in KZbin Hell" we used to say. It doesn't do that anymore. Now it just recommends the exact same thing you've already watched or just something you have no desire to watch. KZbin suggestions are literally boring me to death now. That's why I love this channel.

The algorithm now seems to be, "Here's another video that's almost exactly like the one you just watched."

I couldn't agree more. One of my favorite games with original youtube was to play YT roulette, where you entered a random set of numbers and letters, then scroll down to a random 'also suggested'. Click on one and repeat. Three or four times. I would get some really interesting results. Now even the 'also suggested' are the same as your homepage, just repeats of the same video. "Thanks google" And let me ask this, if YT can indicate that I have wached it before why does it offer it again. Who watches the same video over and over again? Isn't that what 'watch history' is for?

I try to forget the future. 🤪

Everything you post is fantastic. This is exactly what I want to geek out to. Thanks for the videos.

[@Lethgar_Smith]

it's one of my favorite channels

I've seen *The Mind Machines* (on *Nova* ) on PBS. It was in the '80s when I used a VCR to record it so I could see it. The beginning had a caption that mentioned that it was originally aired back in the late '70s (the year mentioned is 1978). It was originally aired before I became interested in science and such stuff (as well as wanting to be a sci-fi filmmaker, someday. Well, right now, it looks like it may not happen. But we have word processors in our computers. Maybe I'll be a writer, sooner or later). I recall someone mentioned "high speed morons" in that documentary. Now, I knew it was Arthur C. Clarke! How it brings back memories. That *Cow on the Moon* cartoon would've been something I would like to see as a kid. I could see why I wouldn't see back then because, ya know, it was made in Yugoslavia. But NOW, we can see it here!

28:00 We new this more than 50 years ago, and our elders did almost nothing. And we worsened plastic pollution, even!

Perfect timing! Thank you, picsandportraits!

The future ain’t what it used to be.

[@cris_261]

The future was more interesting in the past.

[@oliversmith9200]

That last one is WOW... (Reminds me of the animation in contemporary film, "The Point".)

[@helenohellno2729]

Future? What future?

[@-jeff-]

Yep. Cures insomnia.

[@scratchdog2216]

Regarding the first segment, the wait is over: Kizuna Ai is Truth.

Great channel mate these are gold

[@emitindustries8304]

The part with the girl scientist/cow/mean boy was great. Really original, and timely, despite that it's probably from the 70s.

[@kmg3658]

Solid Gold!

[@purplebec9112]

For some reason the last short is my favorite. It helps me realize how terrible we are 🤣. Also call those weird dark color aliens Mud People even though they are probably something else. Also I never realize that smog and pollution affects our weather.

@25:50 Captain who?? From Ork perhaps?

So pollution is the solution to global warming?

One of the expressions of Soviet internationalism was the dialog free film. Just after five minutes in to "Remember The Future", The Zagreb film, "The Cow On The Moon" is an example. This reel's title and credits show it's distribution to English speaking audiences. Dozen's of languages would be served. As part of the socialist ideology of international humanity, these sort were made with the deliberate intention of being entertaining to audiences of any language; of finding ways to bring the world together, actually. An early first example is Vertov's "Man With A Movie Camera" 1929; which gives an excellent view of day to day life in the peacetime Soviet metropolis. I've studied Russia since I was a kid. I'm not degreed, but, I had to know more about the Godless commie evil empire than what I was dished. Yeah, I can talk about Russia without propaganda induced hatred, fear and desire to see their water works bombed. Just saying. It's not the most common ability at the moment of this comment. Dobre dien. Ee spaceba, Picsandportraits. Ochen Horosho.
