I was just thinking the other day that the plot of the matrix would make a lot more sense now.

The ai is running a simulation of the 90s to keep growing because everything after that is tainted with internet memes and increasing amount of ai slop.

The 2000 "election" was the beginning of the end.

Does that mean we're all enslaved by ChatGPT?

Sorry, I'm not sure how to approach this type of question yet. Let's chat about math, coding, and logic problems instead!

Maybe we're only supposed to have 4 fingers like people on the Simpsons.

I'd push the peak forward a smidge to late 2003, at least for where I'm from. Florida banned smoking indoors that year.

9/11/2001 was the end of attitudes of the 90s, so I think the peak would have had to been before that.

Peak was mid to late 2000's. Late enough for most people to have broadband Internet and lots of websites with user submitted content that bypassed the traditional cultural gatekeepers, before smartphones and social media ruined everything.

So basically the Internet before YouTube came out and sparked the rapid corporatization of the Internet we called "Web 2.0"
