Extinct Media Museum Tokyo | Hacker News

A Hacker News post describes someone sorting through a large inherited archive of old media and photos.

They are keeping only a small portion and recycling the rest because preserving everything would take too much time and effort.

The post asks whether some of the material should instead be digitized for historical preservation or possible AI training.

The story underscores how hard it is to balance family memory, archival value, and practical limits at scale.
