Very true 🤣

25 years ago today, Bad_CRC posted the primordial meme video "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" on Newgrounds.

In honor of this important anniversary, I downloaded the original Flash SWF file from Internet Archive, played it using Ruffle in a full-screen window, and replaced the audio with the original MP3 of "Invasion of the Gabber Robots" by The Laziest Men on Mars. So this is probably the highest fidelity encoding possible, without going back to the original forum GIFs.

Taking @jwz's suggestion to substitute "AI" with "cocaine" in various discourse, here're some adjusted & translated choice nuggets from the German government's official AI/Cocaine Strategy website... 🙃

"Five year cocaine strategy - where does Germany stand?"

"Cocaine is key to the world of tomorrow."

"'Cocaine made in Germany' is set to become a globally recognized seal of quality."

"Germany should become an attractive location for the world's brightest minds in cocaine."

"In the world of work, too, cocaine should always be used for the benefit of all employees."

You see what's happening right?

They are preventing you from accessing the means of computing, making you reliant on their services in the future they're building.

At astronomical rents.

This feels like a very @SwiftOnSecurity story but I’m going to tell it.

Chat bots (not just LLM driven) are surprisingly old. In the mid 90s, a mark up language for string-driven bots called AIML was released. A small community of early hackers and devs got really into it. I was part as a teen.
