i think it finally clicked for me why technology nowadays feels so lacking in creativity and direction. other than the obvious fact that it's entirely being driven by businessmen (who are driven more by consumers/profit), those businessmen are often just following the creative visions that have already been created for them (e.g. AI, holographic screens, the "cool, sleek" aesthetic of UI that have been shown in movies) rather than pushing their own vision. the "wild west" phase of the internet was probably due entirely to the fact that there WAS no precedent or vision to follow, so people's own creativity showed more.

could be wrong tho, i don't actually have much personal knowledge about the early days of the internet so i'm just assuming. curious what others think

I once had a weird dream in which directors started to release "Jim Editions" of their movies. They featured a completely silent, poorly greenscreened prop skeleton on strings being added to every single shot.

Presumably, the skeleton's name was Jim, but nobody ever confirmed it so everyone called it the Jim Edition Skeleton instead. Directly calling the skeleton Jim was considered to be in poor taste.

I'm really bad with names, and this goes quadruply so for dreams, so it might've been something other than the Jim Edition Skeleton. I only remember it being short and generic, like Bob or Greg; I'm going with Jim though.

Anyways, the Jim Edition Skeleton would basically just make a mockery of whatever was going on, such as mimicking a dramatic performance, laughing whenever a character was crying, and flailing around wildly during slow and quiet scenes.

Naturally, the Jim Edition of movies outsold the regular editions by an absurd amount. People started to exclusively make Jim Editions of their movies with no regular version to be found.

Making a Jim Edition of a movie was called a Jimjob, and a significant portion of professional movie reviews were dedicated to how well each movie did their Jimjob.

One day, I came across a movie labelled "Jim Special Edition." Unfortunately, I woke up giggling before I could find out what was so special about it. I remained pretty giggly throughout the whole day too.
