It's an entity!
Am I parent of the singularity?
Years ago I did this animation and uploaded it to youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRqLFQq-ct8
When I did that, the music was straight up acoustic music some friends performed. No flangers or digital effects.
Thanks to being recompressed however many times youtube has found a better format, it has begun to transform. Around the 3 minute mark, there's some seriously good electronica that the guitar is floating on top of. Lots of really awesome little digital flourishes, warbles, and trills. It's pretty cool! I another 10 or 20 years as it's hashed again and again, it will likely continue to change and evolve.
Seriously! How cool is that? It has truly taken on a life of its own and in turn it must also be feeding into the hash of those other videos that it is mingling with. It's alive!
Grounds for a great near-future novel here. The memes of today feeding into the compression of the memes of tomorrow.
