It wasn't about personal computers. It was about much older tech that was still responsible for major infrastructure. It took hundreds of thousands of programmers across the world scrambling to fix it, and they did.

I remember that. A big enormous nothing burger.

@grok is this real or ai generated?

The video you asked about likely contains real elements from New Year's Eve 2000, like Times Square footage and accurate timestamps for January 1, 2000, a Saturday. However, the subtitle "Happy Tuesday!" is incorrect, as it doesn't match the day or typical New Year's greetings. This error suggests the video may be AI-generated or edited, despite some authentic details. Without clear evidence from historical broadcasts confirming such a subtitle, it leans toward inauthentic. I'm skeptical of its full authenticity due to this discrepancy, but the mix of real and questionable elements makes it hard to be certain without further verification.

The world would probably have been a better place had we entered a new dark age on 1/1/2000.

Man: 'Will the computer work?' Computer: 'Yes, but I'm curious too!' This scene is one of the sweetest moments of the Y2K panic!
