For a moment I was hoping that they&amp;#x27;d trained some machine learning algorithm on the past evolution of the sites in their archive in order to extrapolate how sites may change in the future, and that they&amp;#x27;d have thrown in some futuristic design elements in the mix.&lt;p&gt;But the way that this thing works is pretty satisfying too. In terms of conveying a message about our future I mean.</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>rdiddly</author><text>Yeah I thought it was going to be that too. They certainly have the data for it. Although that model would probably predict that almost every site just disappears in its future. Speaking of which, to imagine a world where information is inaccessible, I don&amp;#x27;t need to imagine a dystopian authoritarian future, just the shitty haphazard one we have now, where things just disappear from the internet - which was the original battle archive.org was fighting.</text></comment>
