I don’t think social media is going to survive AI, at least not in its current form. It’s not just going to take a blow from the AI content production that’s on the horizon but also AI engagement. Pretty much all of the signals social media platforms use to automate curation of content are about to turn into noise against the backdrop of nearly every participant in the social network being both incentivized and capab…

I think the next stage is decentralized social media. Something like nostr (1) where there’s no centralized entity determining the algorithm to boost. It’s up to the individual to follow users. Perhaps the next challenge would be human verification, even with this protocol we’d need something to index public people by to handle discovery. Even before LLM’s became as mainstream as they are, most social media platforms…

How would a capcha to keep humans out work? "Please give a visual description of 6 dimensional space."

Ask something really complex and give them a small amount of time to return an answer

> How long until the AI chatbots develop meaningful cultural progress? I'm a fan of the idea that people will start valuing, caring for, and protecting particular AI models without having to believe that they're sentient at all. Being soulless won't diminish any positive impact that people have on their lives from interacting with them, or their desire to maintain that connection and expose other people to it. If a c…

The only disagreement I have with this is the future tense. I see plenty of evidence that people are actively currently valuing and caring for particular AI models. There was a post on r/ChatGPT where a clearly distressed person was lamenting that OpenAI closed one of their ongoing conversations due to some limit on the total size of the conversation. They were panicked since they felt they had formed some bond with…

John Conway's game of culture? How long until the AI chatbots develop meaningful cultural progress? I jest, but its sort of an interesting idea. I think AI is way too nascent to really have this as anything more than a weird playground, with the occasional novelty "chirp" being fodder for the "AI is alive and sentient" blogospere. Cool project

On the other extreme, this could also be what real social media turns into, as marketing agencies and entrenched interests dial in how to build an army of "grassroots," "word of mouth" bots that push their messaging without it eve…
