I may have to one of these days.
It’s so sad. I feel like we need to be hoarding all sorts of random media that was put out pre-AI, because it’s flooding everything. Videos, music, gaming, historical photos/videos…
Random example: I have a folder of desktop wallpapers that I’ve been casually adding to for the last decade or so. Literally thousands of them by this point, but I haven’t added anything recently because every source is inundated with AI generations now.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium otters are my favorite.
There are a lot of long nature videos on youtube meant for this purpose - some with relaxing music, some without. I’ll occasionally play one on a TV when I know I’m going to be bouncing around the house all day, and it’s nice.
I don’t know of any actual livestreams like that, but some zoos have livestreams of their aquariums or exhibits that are cool too.
Yeah, the conspiracy-prone side of the internet has a lot of overlap between people who believe stuff about “the Jews” and also constantly talk about elite pedo rings (e.g. Pizzagate). They’ve really latched on to the Epstein case because it’s the closest thing to a smoking gun for the latter.
These people are very angry at the Trump administration right now, so it makes sense to assume that’s the profile of the hacker.
Elmo has since been taken care of.

Just uh… don’t look at the rest of what Elmo said.

Always happy to do my part.

This is my favorite one yet.

He’s famous as a really good geo-guesser (a game where people get random google streetview images and try to drop a pin as close to the coordinates as possible).
People give him challenges all the time, and it’s really impressive.
Here he is finding someone’s location based on a picture taken from a plane.
