I think this kind of sentiment says something about the (very many) observers having the sentiment, rather than the observed phenomenon.

ngl I thought that was jonathan at the start and was like "wow when did jon get jacked"

turns out coding your own game engine and programming language gives you huge gains

So it would basically be a feed of AI generated content that is based on prompts decided by groups of real people?

No, going weirder than that (hopefully). Like search the web, download videos, search inside of them and live remix them

Collaboratively / chaotically

I started work on a prototype, can share a link maybe tomorrow

But they're making it using an LLM, no?

like they use text based commands to group edit some content?

Thinking is there’s a countdown, and yeah, you can @ the LLM and it can present options / vote

Idea is collaboratively generated / created media feed

and then after the timer goes off it spits out into the the feed and people comment/vote/like etc?

Sure! Not totally thought through yet. I’m trying to get away from isolating feeds

And filter bubbles

just trying to understand your vision

I think some people will definitely hate it, lol

Yeah ! And it’s totally half baked and dumb but that’s kinda the point

but for sure there's other people basically doing that right now on X with grok

Got a link?

just not as purpose built for collaborative media

I just mean that grok is a shared experience

Ahh yes, and what… an experience

yeah, I don't really use X, but I'm aware things happening in industry

mechahitler sounded like it was fun for the chaos gremlins

Yeah ideally there’d be interesting constraints somehow

To prevent the dumb behavior and encourage something more interesting

well, I don't think I'd be super interested in helping to build this, but I'm happy to give you feedback to ideas as you work on it

Like maybe by default the LLM is obsessed with something and you have to convince it otherwise before a timer runs out… and thanks! Even just this is useful!

Will try to not make mechahitler!

yeah, I think I get the vision. I think there's a seed of a good idea here... but also a minefield of bad ones

Agreed

Could even be invite only for friends, etc… I think there’s something to the group chat with a mission

I personally have mixed feelings about too much AI stuff. I use the tools too in various capacities, and they can be fun too, but I don't really want them to take over everything. And I do think we need to be aware of the energy impact and all kinds of stuff that makes AI ethically gray.

Yes agreed. Thank you.

that said, I played with an idea for doing AI based oracle cards and readings that was kind of fun, and maybe could be a decent concept with work, but it did also help me see firsthand what the limits are.

Oh nice! I did an I Ching reading generator as an early project

AI image generation has gotten better but its still slop

same with video

Yes agreed, I think there’s also the ability to analyze existing video and remix it, or render new video with non generative ai methods

and every time it can do new/better things they are popular for a liitle - but then I think people become averse to it

so as an investor, I'd be careful about something that costs a lot and makes very little

Yeah, there’s certainly a massive fomo and uncertainty about where the ceiling of capabilities is

I think there's enthusiasts who would enjoy this. there's people who would hate it (maybe even generate publicity!)

"an AI slop feed? Isn't facebook bad enough?!"

Hahahaa

The level of expectations is already so low can only go up

but I get what you mean about creating an environment of playful collaboration

Yeah I’m genuinely worried about ai getting better at creating more effective feedback bubbles for people to get isolated in

and if you can capture that while avoiding the hazards, I see no reason not to play with the new AI tools that are popping up. I mean, where else is facebook and tiktok gonna get all of its AI content?

yeah, I hear what your fear is. and I suppose its possible. I have a feeling that people are going to crave authentic human to human connection more and more over the next few years as AI takes over everything
