Doing some of it with my grandparents today and I’ve learned quite a bit more about my family history

It’s a way to transcend time and to be connected to people in your family you feel you might not easily relate to because of the generational divide, especially if they’ve passed. It’s a look into their genuine interests and personality, especially if they’ve annotated in the margins. The ability to do this is valuable if you can. I think it builds or strengthens empathy, and gives you a stronger foundation for appreciating your family history. Not to mention you’ll likely get an interesting reading experience out of it. The (+) is for great-grandparents and beyond.

i sat down w my grandad and listened to him talk about his whole life for like 5 hours, incredibly immersive experience that’s unlike any conversation I’ve ever had. Helped to build an archive of my family and also learned so much about my grandad and his whole philosophy on life.

She lives in the city and I love going up to her apt to flip through my family history in a scrapbook on her bookshelf. My grandpa + grandma were big travelers. She was from Switzerland he was from Egypt. I think their zest for life shines through the pics taken of them

My parents told me many times growing up they both love this movie and I finally watched it last year for a class that I took

It’s just so nice when people genuinely give a shit about you or your friends and you both want to get to know each other more love people like that

There’s been multiple reports of AI taking up lots of energy to generate things and we don’t need more energy being wasted to produce a soulless, computer generated piece of AI art (Idk how others feel about AI art but whenever I look at it I feel sick and my heart sinks because it just feels so empty) so that’s one thing. Another issue is all these horrific deepfake scandals, to an incident that happened to at least 1 girl at the high school I went to (I’m not gonna say their names or anything because they’ve already been through so much shit) to South Korea’s recent crackdown on deepfake p0rn which revealed just how rampant it was throughout the country (and I just know shit like this is happening worldwide it’s not just their country). There’s also social media manipulation, biases in AI (only 100/7,000 of this world’s languages being used in chatbot training which only contributes further to languages being endangered), the very real threat of AI to be used to create more inequality, etc. While it looks like generative AI is flopping in some areas now (thank god) I’m still very concerned about it
