This is all so archaic. Why are we sticking to a hard coded list? Instead, we just need emoji_start and emoji_end codepoints. The text between is rendered by AI

- LeoPanthera 1y agoThis is pretty much how Apple's genmojis work, but because they're platform specific, they get sent as png images.
- stubish 1y agoI kind of like the randomness of platform specific. Never know if you are going to be squirting someone with a water pistol or blowing their brains out.
- hdjrudni 1y agohttps://imgur.com/a/qA5aYso https://imgur.com/a/qA5aYso I kind of love this idea...
- rkomorn 1y agoGenius indistinguishable from madness.
- leokennis 1y agoI shudder to be on the receiving end of these, using a phone with Apple "Intelligence" as its AI backend.
- account42 1y agoWe don't even need the AI, the text could just get rendered in the mind of the receiving person. People who are imaginatively challenged can use assistive technologies so they are not left behind of course.
- zahlman 1y agoI see what you did there :mrgreen:
- llm_nerd 1y agoWhile I understand that people like a base vocabulary of the common elements defined in a list, it has always seemed like a mistake that we keep adding to some massive list for every fringe demand, instead of just embedding tiny SVGs that can be perfectly aligned to every single platform, niche, industry, and so on.
- amelius 1y agoYes, I can remember during Covid that people used golf club emojis for a cotton swab. That's what I call emojical poverty.
- amelius 1y agoYes! (minus the AI part) I feel like my (sub)language is being designed by committee. Ridiculous! Show me a chat client/platform that can do inline SVG emojis and allow people to spread them using copy+paste and build emoji libraries, and I'll switch instantly.
- kzrdude 1y agoNice. Instead of "this meeting could have been an email" now we have "this meeting could have been an emoji."
