No, but AIs will be able to generate a statistically accurate simulacrum of a set of people like us.
yes, but only the biggest brightest bonfires.
will charlie kirk be known? nah. will Donald Trump be known? absolutely.
the bigger the bonfire, the more damaging it is to society.
I barely think Trump will be remembered. In 600 years we’ll have a completely different economic/political system. I can’t image our quaint ideas of ‘nations’ lasting much longer. This economic/political system was a flash in the pan from just after the Napoleonic wars till about now. I’m not sure what will come soon, but we’ve been stuck with an antiquated system now for over 70years.
ever heard of Genghis Khan? How about King Solomon? Judas ring a bell? Pharaoh Akhenaten?
“But trump isn’t nearly as bad as half those people”
Just wait. The worst is yet to come.
How much do you know about Francis II, that last Holy Roman Emperor? A few people read about him, but he’s not that common of a name.
doesn’t matter if I know their claim to fame. it’s about name recognition. at least that’s all OP was asking for.
To be fair I don’t remember anyone from 600 years in the future.
No.
Because history remembers people or groups who have made astounding and monumental moments that change the course of history.
They aren’t going to remember a dude who spent most of their time jerking off and doing the average lifestyle.
And why 600 years?
I imagine some archivists might find the lost fragments of this server is some ruins and by some miracle, maybe extract this very thread.
We all will be living inside the weights of LLMs from this era.
I think I’m part of what makes it stupid tho :(
Ok that’s actually an interesting use of AI. Train on only media from that time period. This is Daniel, from the year 1400. Tell me about the Catholic Church
This is basically how the persona AIs work. Some of them are focused on an individual, others are trained on a group of individuals.
Fat chance, we’re not carving things on glass or stone. SSDs and HDDs lose their contents and are irrecoverable even within our own lifetimes
You are most likely right but it really depends on what we come up with in the future.
Yes. Or, they’ll get the thread with the awkward dog meme about a microwave. It’s beautiful to contemplate.
Hi to the future! 👋
I don’t think humanity is going to make it another 600 years tbh
I think humans might, but we won’t have fancy skyscrapers, we’ll be living in bunkers hiding from whatever disaster (war, plague, radiation, alien invasion) is on the surface.
An alien invasion couldn’t possibly make things worse.
I find it odd that natural disaster isn’t on your list considering it’s by far the most realistic scenario. Hell, it’s already happening.
I guess the word “natural” isn’t very accurate for a climate disaster, but still, it’s not on your list.
Technically, climate change by itself isn’t what will destroy civilization, its the aftermath, mainly, the crops wouldn’t be able to grow properly in a fucked up temperaure, weather, ecosystem…
Similar to “old age” in humans, nobody “dies of old age” in of itself, rather, its the complications that result from old age.
We sure are a dumb species. We’re able to construct all this stuff using the world around us but we can’t seems to figure out working together instead of constantly competing
It all started in Eden with that fruit.
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.
According to The Vandals, no. It’s a fact.
I will write a blog complaining about copper prices. If my sources are correct I will be remembered forever.
Not me.
But from this echo chamber, it surely seems like the current us president will live in infamy. Think about online debates over who was worst president ever: now it’s clear. And if he truly is accelerating the fall of the American century, then yes, he’ll be taught about ins cho for centuries to come

ngl I don’t know if the earth will even be inhabitable in 600 years
Gods no. Who would want to know about me in the future?
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.
