Correspondence 3/25/12 22:45 - 22:56

   Is this generation the zenith of history? What will the future of the internet look like? How much of it will be distinctly pornographic in nature, and will there be any family-friendly corners? We discuss.

Eric Perazzo

Naw, to me, the internet is just communication and rule 34. No way they'll invent something other than that. Only new memes off of those.


10:45pm

[deadname] Anderson Taylor

Yep, we've truly hit the ceiling. Though I guess pornography and social networking are two of the biggest uses.


10:46pm

Eric Perazzo

I shudder at the prospect of social porn, which is surely what the Singularity will look like.


10:47pm

[deadname] Anderson Taylor

Huh. Well, there are like... adult meet up sites modeled mostly after social networking sites. Is that social porn?


10:48pm

Eric Perazzo

No, I mean, like, it's social networking, but instead of using words you speak in pornography.

Imaginably, heavily advertised.


10:48pm

[deadname] Anderson Taylor

Huh! I wonder how that would even work. I imagine it could, though.


10:49pm

Eric Perazzo

At least it'd be easy to spot the sex offenders.


10:50pm

[deadname] Anderson Taylor

Hm, well, there is a tradition on some sites of verifying that nude images you post are of you by including timestamps, writing on the body, etc. So I think we're already seeing it.


10:50pm

Eric Perazzo

The FUTURE!


10:51pm

[deadname] Anderson Taylor

And there are whole sites based around self posted images, largely in that style, but they aren't social networking sites. Almost there, I guess?


10:51pm

Eric Perazzo

Well, I was wondering what spam would look like in the Artefact. Now I guess I know.

You got anything on OH yet, or will that be a tomorrow thing?


10:54pm

[deadname] Anderson Taylor

Probably tomorrow, yeah. Also, on the subject of scifi 'verses, I've been reading up on the Eclipse Phase setting. It's from a tabletop RPG, but I think the books are creative commons and free as pdfs. Very interesting stuff that I think you'd like.


10:55pm

Eric Perazzo

Tomorrow.


10:56pm

[deadname] Anderson Taylor

Reasonable. Anyway, yeah. I guess I'm going to sleep now.


10:56pm

Eric Perazzo

Yeah, that was kind of worth it, I suppose. Good night.


10:56pm

[deadname] Anderson Taylor

I'd say so. Good night yourself.
