This pretty much sums up my current mood with AI. I also like to think, but it just isn't worth it anymore as a SE at bigCorp. Just ask AI to do it and think for you and the result only has to be "good enough" (=> works, passes tests). Makes sense business wise, but it breaks me, personally.
> In the next 12 months we aim to set up and operate key components in the AT Protocol tech stack: PDS services, relays, and content moderation, in order to ensure that the ecosystem is robust, resilient and with a base in Europe. We also aim to kickstart the development of a suite of social applications that advance democratic and participatory civics, through technical support, access to resources, and collaboration with communities.
> To do that, we aim to raise €5-7 million over the next 12 months, and €15 million in funding by 2028.
€5-7m for operating a BlueSky instance. Great use of european funds right here!
The website is a mess (broken links, broken UI elements, no about section)
There is no history on webarchive. There is no information outside of this website and their "customers" are crypto exchanges and some japanese payment provider.
This seems a bit fishy to me - or am I too paranoid?

Reminder that rasengan, before running vp.net also owned Private Internet Access (PIA) [0] which was also allegedly involved in spreading rumors about ProtonVPN years ago [1].
If I understand correctly it does only show stats for the current frontpage (aka top 30). So it's the "Most Upvoted Story (on the frontpage right now)".
> So, if traditional game worlds are paintings, neural worlds are photographs. Information flows from sensor to screen without passing through human hands.
I don't get this analogy at all. Instead of a human information flows through a neural network which alters the information.
> Every lifelike detail in the final world is only there because my phone recorded it.
I might be wrong here but I don't think this is true. It might also be there because the network inferred that it is there based on previous data.
Imo this just takes the human out of a artistic process - creating video game worlds and I'm not sure if this is worth archiving.
The article contains a paragraph about ads and it reads like a nightmare:
> The full-page advertisement you saw on the previous page is an example.
> the paginated website design opens up new possibilities for ad placement and presentation, allowing for innovative approaches in terms of ad type, location, size, and interaction compared to traditional scrolling.
> highlighted and annotated sections often represent the user's key interests, allowing for more targeted and relevant ad placements
> ads embedded in the website will be included in these downloaded PDFs, increasing ad exposure each time the user reviews the PDF file.
> Paid subscribers could download ad-free PDFs, while non-paying users receive PDFs with embedded advertisements, providing a tiered reading experience.
> But there was one downside to AI. AI was like a human which is why you could talk to it like a human. But because it was like a human, it could also be wrong like a human. So I had to make sure that it wasn't getting the answer wrong. For which I would sometimes use Google Search.
I really don't buy that this was written/created by an actual 9yr old.
But this might just be my unhealthy pessimism/skepticism when it comes to stuff on the internet.
