A thread for updates on the various ways the internet is destroying everything and the undying hellsites of social media. Let's all laugh at the abyss.
Maybe it's just because the quality of ChatGPT's writing is broadly... not great? I dunno.
Folks at my SEO agency are so excited about ChatGPT (I personally can't stand the thing). They think it might replace the writers we pay to write content for our clients. Oh god please no.
It can write more natural. There's a specific prompt command that marketing people use. Given my ambivalent views on AI I won't say what it is here. But my source is someone in marketing and it's legit. Let's hope it remains unknown to more people at this point where AI regulations are non-existent.

Also, the "For You" tab is just so many of these dudes now:
I still primarily browse Twitter through the iOS app's "Latest Tweets", which has been removed from the web version.
Unfortunately this browse mode is due to be removed in the iOS version, or has already been removed in an update I haven't downloaded yet.
Edit: My mistake, for now the "Following" tab still seems to browse by latest tweets.
Would happily take Quark over him.
You 100% sure about that?
The ads now appearing in the replies on Twitter suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks
Yeah it's the worst.
I can't seem to find my sports news on mastodon though. So I keep trying.
I think Post was one I saw a few sports media people tweeting about but I think it's still a wait list to get on. Bah.
Though the laugh track is accurately dispersed throughout the show’s scenes pacing-wise, it hasn’t quite identified the qualities of humorous speech and often comes after a random or mundane line.
So what you're saying is that it slightly missed the mark of creating Seinfeld and has instead perfectly aped the style of Chuck Lorre.

I’ve watched around 7 hours of it since I found it Wednesday (I posted about it in the AI thread yesterday), and I can say with some certainty that the laugh track is not “accurately dispersed,” it USUALLY appears after dialogue but seems almost random at times- sometimes the laugh track plays at the start of scenes before anyone speaks or after long stretches of silence. I remember one time in particular where the stand-up routine bit appeared to bug out and it was just a static picture of the microphone with no Larry/Jerry and no dialogue, yet the laugh track triggered twice before it transitioned to the next scene.
Our goal with the next iterations or next shows that we release is to actually trade a show that is like Netflix-level quality.”
So they'll cancel the show after the 2nd season?
After watching Severance I can't help but feel for the actors stuck in that endless hell loop.
Are we in a Black Mirror episode where the creepy thing that happens is all the Black Mirror episodes?
‘Nothing, Forever’ Is An Endless ‘Seinfeld’ Episode Generated by AI
Five seconds into joining their Twitch channel and they're talking about Elvis not being dead.
Edit: It's like watching a Seinfeld remake broadcasted from an alien world that watched Seinfeld without understanding anything that was going on in Seinfeld.

Sure that's not just the music video for Everything Zen?
Does that video abruptly end midsentence with a laugh track?
So. Computer does all this?
And i still have to figure out letters from distorted text, or choose pictures with traffic lights/trees/vehicles to do a seach on website...
Feels up-to-date..
I think Post was one I saw a few sports media people tweeting about but I think it's still a wait list to get on. Bah.
The waiting list is gone.
Founder: You'll Soon Be Able to Talk to Your Dead Mom In the Metaverse Thanks to ChatGPT
The founder of a top metaverse company says that the fast-moving development of ChatGPT has pushed the timeline for one of his most ambitious and eccentric projects up by a matter of years. In an interview with Motherboard, Somnium Space’s Artur Sychov said a user has started to integrate OpenAI’s chatbot into his metaverse, creating a virtual assistant that offers a faster pathway for the development of “Live Forever” mode, Sychov’s project to allow people to store the way they talk, move, and sound until after they die, when they can come back from the dead as an online avatar to speak with their relatives.
Sychov, who was inspired to develop “Live Forever” mode after his father died, first explained the project to Motherboard last April. Back then, he predicted it would be available within five years. Now, due to recent advancements in artificial intelligence, he expects it could only take a couple more years before people can have a conversation with a virtual reality robot without realizing they are not a real person. “The AI is progressing extremely fast. Honestly, it is progressing faster than even we anticipated,” Sychov said.
So we are here....

I had it on as background noise while doing chores yesterday. Best bit I saw was when Yvonne complained about rising property taxes. Larry and Fred got into a whole thing about how it wasn't fair to make the working man pay so much when it was the rich who benefited. The chat went nuts. "Tax the rich, f*ck the system, socialism now!" and so forth.
That said, it's mostly banal conversations of exactly the sort you'd expect an AI to come up with, with a laugh track inserted at seemingly random intervals and lots of weird awkward pauses, occasional camera, animation, or musical glitches, etc. Impressive that it's as coherent as it is, a cute novelty, but not much of a threat to anyone's job yet.
Except, again, Chuck Lorre's. The AI has his number.

If she talked like my dead relatives, I feel like that would ruin the appeal of a giant naked Ana de Armas.
That might explain why Ben Affleck got rid of his giant Ana de Armas when they broke up.
Update: AI Seinfeld appears to have broke. Larry and Fred are standing around Larry's apartment not saying anything for the last five minutes.
Edit: False alarm. Thought I was witnessing one of those moments in Internet history that they'll talk about in December and everyone goes, "Wait, that was this year?"
Oh yeah, it's always breaking in weird ways.
"Be sure to tip the waitstaff. They made your evening enjoyable and deserve more money." Funny, I thought if AI was left to its own devices on the Internet, it'd turn into a supremacist asshole.

Just exclude Florida and Texas from the training data.

Depends on which parts of the internet you let your AI wander into.
