Hopefully he (or a government entity) buries this invasive cryptocurrency for good. There's no reason anyone should have to trust a corporation to get a "universal" basic income.
Your comment is very observant though. I think someone may have seen the phrase "lower-income" and a big image of a black man, then thought his culture was getting erased... lol
Damn, I called it terrible but it worked. Oh well
Most users used the same phrasing you have - the AI was "crippled." Shortly after, alternatives that at least claim to not invade your privacy sprang up, and I see much less of AIDungeon today.
OpenAI does not support the free use of their technology. As always, don't be fooled by the "Open" in the name. If you or your product does something they, or Microsoft, dislikes, your access could be revoked anytime. It seems unlikely to me they'd change their outlook now
As someone who's made a lot of internet friends on Discord over years of use, I get the nagging feeling that this app hinges on the premise that receiving e-compliments (that the app writes for the users) minimizes the workload needed to give a youth internet validation. Internet validation is rather addicting and (in my experience) debilitating for youths that allow themselves to become hooked on it. Almost all youths aren't aware of this, it is not taught to them.
That said, there aren't enough compliments in our world, especially for those suffering through highschool. If Gas avoids aggressively pursuing its users' engagement like more popular social platforms, I find it foolish to condemn software that aims to help kids feel comfortable in their own skin. I know a past self who would've given a whole lot for something like this.
I've also come to feel, though, that conversation is not at all a human instinct. It's a skill to be honed like any other, but it isn't clearly valued on our society. Guitar, painting, writing blog posts, or any other skill which can be used as a personal medium of expression are almost completely cut out from the education system in favor of only presenting common core topics which are mostly inapplicable and unhelpful to the average citizen.
Humans want to express themselves, but I feel as though we're rapidly running out of unique ways to do so - or at least, ways that feel unique in a world of billions. When people are talking about "stuff they like," I feel as though it's a symptom of them not having the skills that they need to express their humanity, and to understand your own. It's not even really their fault... no one taught them, they just haven't figured it out on their own yet.
When there's no guarantee that humans kicked out into the world at 18 will have any idea of how to relate to other people's human experiences... how can you expect them to be any good at conversing with you? All we have is our soul anyway, as Socrates once taught us, so we each stand to benefit from knowing how to talk about it.
If you feel like you're too good at [the guitar] for your [band], bail. If you'd feel even better enabling them for a lifetime to express themselves better through [music], then pour your heart into teaching them. But there are many other people out there who are very, very skilled at [making music], and if [making great music] is a true driving force for you, then you have to go and seek it out.
Mix and match the words in the brackets for advice on any skill you can only practice with other people, especially conversation :3
That's my experience and philosophy at least, and I think it's really been helping me through some agonizing feelings as of late. I'm sorry that you've had such frustrating experiences just trying to relate to people, I know the feeling and it's totally soul-sucking.
I wonder though, if the same thing was said for email and instant messaging when it was first popularized.
