The promise was that people would literally stop going to real life music shows to watch them on Second Life, buying fake cans of sponsored Coca-Cola and inviting friends to one night stands on their digital flats. Going on for 20 years is not the norm, but not unusual either - RuneScape is older and my neighbors have no idea what it is.

The reality is that we forgot about the game in less than two years and the surviving community is small, even if they pay a lot.

That’s exactly what’s going to happen to AI agents promising to replace an entire department or the creative team in a studio.

Dude trust me bro this plot of land on Second Life will be worth more than your house in the future, this is the world wide web bro

The lobotomized chimp with a typewriter trained on internet comments is now reproducing internet commentary? I’m shocked!

Just ask Grok to fix the servers, AI is so much better than humans right?

Make sure users trust it so much they can no longer discern hallucinations and lies from reality, then keep the AI training on content generated by itself.

That’s the most specific and irrelevant example I’ve ever heard in my life lol

“This car is unusable and nobody will ever like it! Did you know that under the trunk, if you look at it with a UV light, the paint pattern is using a slightly different hue than the rest of the body?”

He’s advocating

Wow, such an incredible self sacrifice, such a profound movement. Shall I write him a thank you letter?

I can guarantee you that Pedro Pascal isn’t struggling, and I’d love it if we could “work together” as you said on actual art, not fast food style commercial mega-productions.

Somehow, I’m significantly more worried about a local theatre’s actors, or that girl who pays for college drawing people’s pets under commission, or that internet comic creator who lives with his parents… Rather than worrying about how the political climate will affect famous Hollywood personalities.

X is still the single most important platform

No it isn’t.

A guy I know started selling AI push notifications.

Your app signs up for his service, and he uses what’s essentially ChatGPT to find the best time slot to send you custom push notifications. That’s just his third party service working with limited data and system access.

Just imagine when Google and Apple start selling that as a service integrated to the OS.

I’ll drink to that memory, my brother

I don’t know what the general policy is on Lemmy or the default license, but absolutely, feel free to use it, lemmy link is enough

Don’t forget to share your extension with us once you’re comfortable.

“what should I do if I’m going through severe emotional distress? How to choose a good psychiatrist?”

ChatGPT: "I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been going to a stressful situation, it’s always worth talking about your feelings. I’ve come up with a plan to help you:

1 Purchase an ice cold Pepsi Black™ from a Pepsi official supplier"

I really non ironically miss the friction of the old internet.

I prefer how it took time to find some bare HTML university website, slowly browse through an index as if it was a book, and then find one non-SEO optimized page with all the information you needed on a topic for your research.

The time to browse, being exposed to other terms, having to select the pages yourself, being skeptical by nature, and then having to copy it by hand… This is a much more positive scenario than having a gigantic company learn everything about you and everybody else and then make these decisions for you, using some hidden algorithm, and with the ultimate goal of pushing their newest process. And of course, the content has been rendered virtually useless to appeal to that algorithm.
