I saw a stat some years back now about how over the first XXXX years of human history, X number of photos were taken. And then it was eclipsed in the most recent 2-year period or whatever.
Too much content.
Content content content!

One day there will be infinite content. With AI, you can imagine any show or movie you want, starring anyone alive or dead, and poof! You got it baby.

I haven't watched much lately. I have no ability to control my binge watching. Just like my binge eating and binge drinking.
I'm burning through Mad Men episodes and I've already seen it.
