Running #GenerativeAI like #StableDiffusion with #DiffusionBee on my local machine reminds me of the days downloading #pr0n at 9600 bps with a dial-up modem. While the images would slowly load, I could get an idea if there was nudity. Unlike #text2image, where the entire process has to finish to see if it's [disfigured] of has [bad hands]. A nostalgic reminder of the days when we had to exercise patience in the face of slow internet speeds. #Nostalgia #DialUpDays #SlowInternet #AIArt

then, in 1998 it magically started cleaning itself up, as big tech censorship started removing pages, geocities shut itself down (no accident), many usenet servers went down, google groups became a thing, google groups was shut down, yahoo groups shut down, and so on and so forth.

been here for the whole thing, since mid 1994 anyway.
