RARBG is down.
- The BitTorrent protocol isn’t going anywhere. Farewell, Saint of Sharing Indexes. F.
Reddit is down.
- Taken down by the administrative class that as always has great disdain for the value of the users and the employees. Decreasing the value of a human being till acquiring them becomes profitable.
Twitter is … Twitter.
- People forget how damaging the short text restriction is for nuanced and deep conversations. This site doesn’t do anything special. Mentions and the easiness of reach are its biggest strengths.
APIs are a paid luxury now.
- Big tech companies forget they depend on user-made content to populate their platforms and have anything to offer. This will increase the resentment of the creative class.
The bot’s have gotten hyper-interactive.
- Large Language Models and Stable Diffusion models can get you horny or can make you inflict damage on yourself.
- Not everything that speaks is intelligent is the new normal.
