We are the Amnesia Generation. 1000s of movies never digitized are lost forever. Each week we lose more. I present the rapid loss of all data many think “someone saved it right, right?”. From microfiche to films to audio tapes to VHS tapes to CDs and DVDs they are rotting. https://x.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1993883715479720161/video/1
To understand The Great Forgetting better: Some data stores I know of, and few understand the US has, is on CD and DVD archives. The O N L Y copies. AND THEY HAVE STARTED CD ROT. Been sounding this issue for decades. We need a US AI Training Data Manhattan Project—today. https://x.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1899340764855112154/video/1
