I don’t think anyone is really bothered that people died in the Titanic anymore. Its more about the cool big boat crashing and a movie people like.
Australia once had a Prime Minister who got lost (and presumably died) swimming in the ocean. Then they named a swimming pool after him
Seems once there’s no-one alive to have experienced something we treat it more as a fun story. See also medieval torture or Jack the Ripper tours.
Too soon?
It’s a dig at AI, there was an example of a chat with Chat GPT (or whatever) floating around where someone posed the question “is the swimming pool on the Titanic full of water or empty” and it confidently replied that it must be empty.
I mean it’s talking about the pool, not the people, seems good to me
Fascinating. It would be amazing to get to go back in time and just wander around the ship and see all these places.
