@sjvn NFT was the strangest idea of the entire history of computers in my opinion. I ham happy it is gone and hop in never return. XD. In the other hand, It is OK if people like it. I like collecting virtual things in video games. I guest it is similar for some. But I just never saw the point to have it along by itself and paying real money.

@sjvn who's the mother?

@sjvn This made me laugh out loud.

@sjvn@mastodon.social And it is only May. In this decade that means we have at least 26 more versions of this to go.

@sjvn A friend of mine said that AI is to 2023 what NFTs were to 2021. I think about that a lot.

@sjvn Archimedes principle

@sjvn good

@sjvn NFTs could be useful in theory. It's unfortunate that they were popularized as collectibles but the concept of a non-fungible token for use as concert tickets, redeemable vouchers, or even gift cards makes perfect sense to me.

@sjvn Haha euuughhh

@sjvn NFTs were never going to be the next big thing. To compare it to something similar, people like Xbox achievements and PlayStation trophies because, while they’re also digital collectibles, you have to earn them, and they’re not for profit. NFTs have the same problem as a checkmark on Twitter. They’re just a visual indicator that you’re a sucker.

@sjvn good place for it.

@sjvn Just as dark as RL.

That should be both Meta and Google. Search for "We have no moat, and neither does OpenAI".

@sjvn I take it NFTs have finally funged out of existence.

@sjvn Are self-driving cars closer to metaverse or to nft?

@sjvn So glad NFTs have largely run their course. Tired of hearing about them.

@sjvn well, the metaverse has only ever been hyped by one person and I'm not sure he's not still on that train

@sjvn We've had bad 3d for many years. A computer that can pass the Turing Test is going to have serious ramifications for society.

@sjvn #ChatGPT hype feels extra silly to me because it's no smarter than #DwarfFortressClassic from 2006, which was actually free and can run on an ordinary personal computer. But now Microsoft spent hundreds of millions of dollars to do the same thing worse and we're supposed to be amazed?

AI has made actual advances since 2006: #Go -playing AI from 2006 couldn't beat top humans. But ChatGPT is particularly dumb.

@sjvn jajajajajaa

@sjvn @atiradinnhas aaaaaaa

@sjvn

@sjvn meanwhile Doge is undersea underground

@sjvn This is so true 😂 thank God NFT died quickly
