dmi 💽 in the age of AI “content”, i’m turning back to old YTPs, looking at them like a scholar admiring a vintage work of art
you might have been “poop” for the time, but today…
i keep coming back to this one in particular, i think it can stand on its own as a music piece. which is fucking impressive for a 2009 YTP. give it a listen if I haven’t spammed you with it already

i see YTPs as the ultimate exercise in creating stuff that’s transformative, and putting media in a completely different context to the original.
it’s also one of the things that AI cannot come up with, because there’s no way an algorithm can make a new connection between two completely unrelated pieces of media. sure, it could imitate existing ones, but coming up with a new thing to riff from is genuinely impossible.
YTPs are perhaps the most inherently human thing that came out of the internet, and I think that’s beautiful
