“In the early 21st century, there was a genre of art where hands were drawn either with an incorrect number of fingers or other mutations. We believe this style of art was used for ritual purposes. Strangely, this movement of art lasted a very short period of time, from 2023 before gradually disappearing by around 2025”
EDIT for those who didn’t get it, it’s because some newer image generators draw better hands
Drag is pretty sure lots of archeologists have studied technology. For example there was the search for the recipe for Roman concrete.
So you’re the special kind of dumb that needs obvious inferences spelled out while trying to play it off as being cheeky👍🏿 THE TECHNOLOGY THAT MADE DATA THE MOST VALUABLE ASSET IN THE WORLD. YOU KNOW THE TECHNOLOGY THAT IS SO RECENT THAT THE PEOPLE "STUDYING " IT ARE DOING SO TO MAKE ADVANCMENTS NOT TO LEARN FROM THE PAST
Please don’t have kids, I’ll venmo you the cost of the abortion.
Drag thinks pretending that only electronics are technology is disrespectful to the scientists and engineers of the past who created technologies like the aqueducts, the roads, ships, kilns, swords, and recreational marijuana use. And it limits our ideas about what the future of technology can be, constraining us to a single vision of ever-more-complex computer systems as technology. Drag thinks we need a change in language to provoke a change in thinking. That will open up new directions in science. For example, meditation is a technology, and in the last 15 years psychologists have been pushing scientifically backed up meditation practices to help people. That’s technological progress and it’s good. We need to open our minds to possibilities like that.
Also here’s a wikipedia article on the history of computer science: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_computer_science. Drag learned about the history of computer science from drag’s teachers in school. Alan Turing and Von Neumann and Charles Babbage.
