Is there something equivalent to it nowadays?
- stnmtn 5y agoDiscord bots, while wayyy more of a walled garden, brought me a lot of joy from the combination of short feedback loop (very easy to make bots do relatively complex things) and large userbase of more-tech-savyy-than-average users I hooked up OpenAI into my bot to allow GPT-3 like prompting in the servers I'm in; created a way to search for youtube videos and play them in a voice channel, and other dumb, fun things. Making it scale seems like it would be doable, but for now I'm keeping it to the servers I'm active in
- Duhck 5y agoYea as ahmadss describe above, web3 and discord is as close as you can get to this experience. A good friend had a really cool way of describing the evolution from web1(aol / dialup era) -> web3 Web 1 was unmitigated chaos, lots of creativity, lots of experimentation, lots of illegal activity, not a lot of money being made Web 2 was ordered chaos, lots of money being made everywhere, not a ton of creativity but lots of business value creation Web 3 is the best of both worlds (and some of the worsts). Lots of creativity, boundless energy, lots of value but also lots of fraud.
