In the last week of December, 2028, humanity forgot about more than a century of pop culture. You’ve probably never thought about it, and never found it strange — but the reason is an artificial intelligence called Earworm.
⏩ is a series of YouTube videos from a future.

'i cant believe we forgot about dre
At least we’d forget rewind 2018
My Dad once told me "I've forgotten more than you'll ever know".
I like this series
This falls into the same logical fallacy that born humans seem to keep making. Assume AI becomes super intelligent; assume it does something incredibly *stupid*. Come on guys, AI is already smarter than that.
It has only now occurred to me: what about fanfiction?
Really loved the part where you talked about self watering plants (y) your videos have become more interesting than ever before
wtf did i just watch
Please tech overlords, don't let copyright systems and military defense tech be the origin of general AI. It will not be good for anyone.
2:34 I am a human, and therefore have 1x human intelligence (by definition). How do I go from there to 10x in just 16 hours? Am I supposed to be smart enough to figure it out all by myself?
Well now I'm depressed
I'm feeling hints of PREY in this video
Well it is better than Turry.
This is like an exurb1a video but without the sarcasm
If you’re entertained by this type of science fiction, read Neuromancer and its sequels. It’s impressive how such little has changed in terms of popular perception towards AI since that book’s release
this was realistic until the earworm bit
A future in which we don't remember the work of J.K. Rowling? Sign me the f up!
this was depressing
Like patriot I.A ?
Interesting
In the grimdark future of earworm the only hope of humanity is that the moon nazis will nuke us out of our misery.
And that they were right all along.
It's a nice touch that Virtually Reality Funding jumped after Earworm because its distracting humanity.
CHRIST this an interesting thought experiment.
I love this
sweet. You're doing stuff like that again. Loved the similar, older vids, for example the "teleport" vid etc
Too real now, bruh.
Wait there is no lunch fly?!??!
Might just be Earworm talking, but I'm confused.
What scary is that this thing could happen any moment from now.
