Beaker supported the ability to "fork" p2p websites, so an indie social network called Rotonde briefly emerged on it where you created accounts by forking existing user sites. Simultaneously, the Beaker team created a Twitter clone on the tech called Fritter.

The semantic search engine of over 25,000 CD-ROMs from the Internet Archive is back:

http://DISCMASTER.TEXTFILES.COM is once again helping people discover long-lost computer history, forgotten images and music, and endless other buried treasures.

"Old’aVista, a guide to the old internet: launched in 2021, a search engine indexing early personal websites plus Yahoo directory listings from 1996 to 2003"

"Unless they have a very unique relationship with their investors, Ello will inevitably be pushed towards profitability and an exit, even if it compromises their current values. Sometimes, this push comes subtly in the form of advice and questions in emails, phone calls, and chats over coffee. Sometimes, as more direct pressure from the board. (FreshTracks’ Managing Director sits on their board.) Or, if things go bad, by replacing the founders." which is exactly what happened

People. It's been swell. This page has been on the net since 1996. Really. It's time to move on.

Remember when this was geocities?

Remember when "blink" was a cool thing to have on your webpage?

Remember when colleges/universities used Telnet as their web interface?

Remember when "IM" and "AOL" were so much cooler than Compuserve and Prodigy?

Remember mIRC, IRC chat and ICQ?

Remember when Altavista and Netscape ruled?

Remember life before Google?

Remember your first spam -- you know, getting a friend of a friend's FWD? Yeah. That and more. Buh Bye. 1

P2P alternative to Discord etc

What protocol do peers connect with?

Members of a Quiet community (analogous to a Slack organization or a Discord "server") use libp2p/IPFS to connect to each other, over Tor, in an insular network for a specific community.

The once-prophesized future where cheap, AI-generated trash content floods out the hard work of real humans is already here, and is already taking over Facebook.

"Advanced intelligence from AI should be embraced, not feared. We should speed up AI development, not slow it down. We should move fast and fix things while we still can. Fly Icarus, fly! Your Dad was wrong."

On this page, we will write code using physical tools like pencils, brushes, and paint as inspiration. While there are many great tools available, such as Procreate or Adobe Fresco, or you can simply ask AI to "paint like Van Gogh," I assure you that you can learn a lot and have fun by doing it yourself. By observing things and attempting to express them in code, you can develop your skills and perspective. The freedom to design your own tools can be an invaluable asset for your creativity.

The point is, Elon Musk has been angling to become a beloved poster for a minimum of five years now. Since my brush with this want of his, the man had to buy the entire goddamn website just to win status as a poster of note, only to instantly become one for all the wrong reasons. He bought the spotlight, pointed it at himself, and almost immediately became the consensus pick for the worst user in the site’s history. It had to sting, and now everyone has seen how well he’s handling that experience:

Artificial Intelligence as a field of research and also its criticism is dominated by notions such as ‘intelligence’, ‘learning’ or ‘neuronal’. This paper discusses how the use of anthropomorphising language is fueling AI hype. AI hype involves many promises, such as that ‘AI can be creative’, or ‘AI can solve world hunger’. This hype is problematic since it covers up the negative consequences of AI use. Instead, the author proposes to use alternative terminology such as: ‘Automated Pattern Recognition’, ‘Machine Conditioning’, or ‘Weighted Network’.

Creating an image that surpasses the current level of intensity, which already embodies a cosmic and transcendental theme, would be challenging. The current depiction includes elements such as a vortex of blinding light, mystical symbols, and a transformation into a cosmic realm, which represents a peak in visual intensity.
