Do you think that's important?

Depends how big you fuck up.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

No, and I'm thankful for that

[-] insomniac_lemon@lemmy.cafe 3 points 2 weeks ago

Relative to a normal life, nobody knows me now... and with where and how I live that likely won't change.

So definitely not, aside from the unlikely event I could get my head preserved (likely questionable testing). Then again I know in all likelihood that wouldn't work, so I'm not sure getting a mention in some niche Wikipedia article would be the same as being remembered.

The people of nepal, probably. Remembered as a collective

[-] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

How many people do you know who were alive 600 years ago?

[-] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

People might be if you eat the Mona Lisa.

Me personally? Absolutely not and that's great. Someone who is alive now? Probably yes. We know about Socrates and Caesar and Leif Erickson and Ghengis Khan and Cleopatra.

Remember in what capacity? I don't think any of our (users in this thread) names will be a part of conversation or on anyone's mind in any meaningful capacity. I do believe that digital storage is getting better and that our names and information about us will still probably exist somewhere in 600 years. So maybe somewhere someone might see your name. But that's very different than "remembering", you know?

We will live on in future LLMs, and possibly in the minds of AGI if that ever gets developed.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 2 weeks ago

I was tangentially talking about this recently. Our effects live on even after we die. It seems prideful to worry about your name being associated with them. This wasn't in the context of LLMs though.

Considering how small my online presence is, nope. I'll be remember until the last of my family kick the bucket.

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I think some of the tech geniuses of our time will be remembered since it was the birth of the internet.

I mean, we remember Da Vinci, Columbus, and Martin Luther. That was 600 years ago.

[-] DarkBluemetal@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

What will anyone remember any of us in a 1 million years?

I read books from people that died centuries or even millennia ago (ok in their case, their writings are not technically speaking books, but you get the idea). So, a few of us could be remembered as well.

Alas, there is a difference in our days and age: all our creations, text, images and sound, are digital. There is hardly any hardcopy anymore. And I doubt much if any of most of our 'dematerialized' content and even worse our cloud stored/streamed content will survive long after the last person stops paying the monthly fee. And even for those that don't are not cloud -stored, I doubt much will survive more than a few years after we have passed. Digital doesn't decay well.

For those future human beings, if there are any left to study our times,, we could as well be known as the 'voiceless trash age', without much artifacts left beside a planet filled with waste and plastic craps. Oh, and piles and piles of dead smartphones, too.

Gods no. Who would want to know about me in the future?

[-] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

not if you don't make art

[-] NovaSel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Maybe a few particularly consequential world leaders, but most of us? No.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Someone will be remembered. It's very unlikely to be me, unless human lifespans get a lot longer, which TBF they probably will.

Gorbachev will probably still be famous at some point after 3025, let alone 2625, although he might be forgotten and then popularised in between.

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

If someone is immortal they would.

[-] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

According to The Vandals, no. It's a fact.
