Building a new social (or a "chain" of them): your suggestions

  1. btw, about Bing, bang, boom...

    The AI bubble will eventually burst, as all those that have preceded it. Those who have immodestly misused this buzzword will repent for it :)

    It will soon show its true colors, as the Artificial Idiocy :)

  2. Do you want to know why AI is just a marketing buzzword? here is some reason from a post online (from Linked↓):

    "
    What they call AI, and what I now call Artificial Idiocy, are just statistical models created several decades ago.

    These are simple generalizations (suitable for the high speed of computers) of stuff like regression analysis, where instead of simply using a couple of parameters, you introduce thousands or millions of parameters.

    Although the technical details are obviously different, the concept is exactly the same.

    Now, if you have a dataset with 1 million items and you use a model with 10 million parameters, you have even more parameters than data. And, of course, your model will "predict" the data at hand perfectly (and possibly some similar data).

    How idiotic is that, and how do you dare call this Artificial "Intelligence"?

    Stop deceiving the public. Call it what it is: just software and databases with some old statistical NN models. Often programmed by underpaid programmers.

    There are 2 main bad components here: one is the deception to pretend that this stuff can show any type of intelligence. The other unethical aspect is trying to market old ideas created by people in academies several decades ago.

    There is no more honor. Use your real intelligence, and produce something original and worth it!

  4. BTW, I forgot to mention that, among the sites that, in time, I have blacklisted, there is one called:

    https://forum.wordreference.com/

    My personal opinion is that this is one of the most ridiculously run sites I have ever visited.

    It's a classical case where you can say: "The Fish Stinks from the Head".

    My (unqualified) diagnosis here is that some moderators suffer from severe narcissistic personality disorder coupled with very high levels of frustration, creating a highly inhospitable environment.

    Also, for what concern my own native language, most translations offered are not even correct.

    I invite you to check for yourself if my opinion is acceptable.

  5. After the latest facts, I have become even more convinced that we really need something to speak up and counterbalance all the idiocy and propaganda of some of the current media.

    It is evident that some of them are shameful propaganda machines that do not even tolerate the smallest critical comment. Autocratic hypocritical machines.

    Thousands or millions of fake users, where instead it's pretty evident from actual human feedback that the real participants are relatively few. Mostly desperate job seekers.

    Marketing stunts to push the latest empty hyped buzzword. Now they have the fixation of the AI, as in Artificial Idiocy, but it will not last long... :)


    On Saturday, I was entertaining a private conversation with the famous Wolf of Wall Street.

    And probably on Monday, if they did not lock me out, I could have been talking with Jeff, Nabella, and even Bill in person!

    All authentic people who have submitted their legal ID of course to the Authority of the Supreme Social Media that has been authorized by the Supreme Court to collect the IDs of citizens of the entire planet. Actually Mars, too as soon as Elon gets us there :)

    But let's not be close-minded, let's extend the right to the whole galaxy.

    So, I am afraid I will have to submit mine too to participate in the party:

    along with a proof of address of course:

    and a utility bill:

    otherwise, they would not let me utter a word, and everyone will think I am the bad guy :)

  6. Once upon a time... On Linked↓

    ===================================================


    Changing completely to an unrelated topic, unfortunately, some (very few) companies are kept in the mkt by simply pumping investment (tax-reduction tactics or worse) and by means of market-making algorithms. While their intrinsic value is actually 0, they may even be malicious to society in general.

    In comparison, Ponzi and my friend (missing :)) the Wolf look just like naive apprentices :)

  7. I am adding a row of quick-pick emojis in the menu editor.

    Let me know which of your preferred ones are missing:

    ["", "", "", "", " ", "", "", "", "", "❤️", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "" , "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "‍", "", "", ""];

    PS
    oops, sorry, it seems this editor is not rendering Unicode. Here is a pic of the above list:

  8. These emojis are really a mess, as the codes are scattered all over the place :)

    What I will do is select just a few of them to be placed on the editor menu for quick selection, and many others of them put into a selector.

    Something like this (I still need to select the few to put in the menu for quick selection):

    upload_2023-8-5_15-6-59.png

    For the source lovers, the code for the "selector" (executed on clicking on the "More Emojis" button ) goes like this (brutal draft):

    Code:
        openEmojiSelect() {
    
            const myPermWindow = permNotify("", false, 20, 20);
            let countSymb = 0;
    
            const faces1 = [128512, 128512 + 8 * 10];
            const faces2 = [129296, 129296 + 22 * 10];
            const hands1 = [9994, 9994 + 1 * 10];
            const hands2 = [128070, 128070 + 1 * 10];
            const hands3 = [128400, 128400 + 1 * 10];
            const hearts = [128147, 128400 + 3 * 10];
            const more = [128169, 128169 + 9 * 10];
    
            const emojRanges = [faces1, faces2, hands1, hands2, hands3, hearts, more];
    
            for (const myRange of emojRanges) {
                for (let x = myRange[0]; x < myRange[1]; x++) {
    
                    let emojiInserButton = document.createElement('button');
                    emojiInserButton.innerHTML = `&#${x};`;
                    emojiInserButton.style.cssText = `font-size: 16px;`;
                    myPermWindow.msgHolder.appendChild(emojiInserButton);
    
                    countSymb++;
                    if (countSymb % 10 === 0) { myPermWindow.msgHolder.appendChild(document.createElement('br')) }
    
                    emojiInserButton.onclick = async () => {
                        this.div_EditorWindow.focus();
                        await MyExec("insertHTML", emojiInserButton.innerHTML);
                    }
                }
    
                //separo i blocchi
                myPermWindow.msgHolder.appendChild(document.createElement('br'));
                myPermWindow.msgHolder.appendChild(document.createElement('br'));
            }
        }

    (I just shot at a few ranges that seemed to contain usable stuff :) )

  9. I am adding some other features to our new media :)

    In particular, if you think about the main differences between a forum like ET and a place like Twitter (X-man or whatever :) ) the most obvious is that in the first case, you would select a forum/thread and participate in some more or less articulate discussion.

    The beautiful layout would allow us to expand concepts and have nice or heated discussions with all your preferred heroes and retards :)

    On Twitter-X-Man, you do not have that. It's more like resembling Nabella's RetardTown in this respect :)

    upload_2023-8-7_21-40-57.png


    Posting on Twitter-X-Factor feels like throwing stuff into a black hole, and you are often flooded with egomaniacal posts. Elon is all over the place and it seems more like a celebrity blog full of people like those Korean idol fan clubs.


    upload_2023-8-7_21-36-28.png


    Now, I personally prefer the ET approach, but I also recognize the possible usefulness of a "centralized" place where you can overview the overall feed, independent of where (what topic) it happens.

    So I have in mind to add this kind of feature, in addition to the various forums/threads, so that one can have an immediate perception of what is going everywhere and freely jump across threads and forums.

    A sort of hybrid between a predominant ET-like look and some witter-X-F taste ... :)
