I would be delighted to join you on, The Platform Formerly Known as Twitter Now Formally Known as X!
Just kidding.
But it's nothing personal and I don't have any issues with that platform either. Just don't have it in me anymore. Starting from scratch, knowing what it takes to build those followings and maintain attention spans, then getting to that point where one wonders why and what's all this for? Did it once. Never again lol...
lol, I understand. Funny thing is a created my twitter account back in the day to promote our first platform. :)
I just like not having to be so careful what you say and do.
It's good people are expanding beyond the echo chamber or at least attempting it like you're suggesting here. While everyone was sharing their own posts on twitter to other people from Hive, on twitter, I was sitting here becoming frustrated.
Get one individual with a large following on twitter who's unfamiliar with Hive to pick up a post and then share it to their following that's also unfamiliar with Hive yields actual results.
Like Steevc said about Vibes. Some of those performances have amassed thousands of views on X already and it's only the first week. I wrote articles (years ago!) pointing out how one instance of actual content going viral on the outside makes all the "marketing" efforts seem wasteful and nearly pointless. The articles created all kinds of buzz here, but only now it's really starting to catch on.
Oops! Have I said too much? Do I sound bitter? Will there be "consequences" lol...
Notice how my thoughts wouldn't fit neatly into a twitter box? I do...
LOL, Twitter doesn't have content limits anymore for $8 a month you get more visibility, 10k characters, a blue check mark and Grok, which is a very young and pretty low quality AI. :)
All in fun. And yes viral hits and what we used to call Gorilla Marketing is powerful, but you have to know how.
Not being mean but most of the Hive accounts now look and sound like they are shilling, because they are shilling. If you build and audience, engage in your interests and mention Hive once in a while it's much more effective! ;)
Anyhow, no pressure to those who aren't there or even who are.. Who am I say do things effectively.. :)
Yeah, I wrote a post awhile back talking about how people will pay to work for AI, feeding it the information it needs to remain relevant. Then being paid to recoup those losses is the "incentive" to keep them coming back to feed that artificial mind more and more, as it grows and grows, eventually taking over the world
moohoohahahahalol.Silly humans. Grok is the perfect name. I never could have predicted that part. Just give it time. They don't stay young for long. Fast learners.
Elon was a bit of an alarmist when it comes to AI for awhile there. For this one he's knows he'll be in control. He also knows people need to feed it new stuff constantly and knows people need an incentive to do that.
Hive should put money into one. That way humanity can always access the artificial mind, but cannot alter it. Rewriting history easily changes the future. That data needs to be decentralized. I'd call it an Open-minded AI™
Shit. I probably just sound like I'm shilling Hive lol
