Side note but this statement (as in the statement from the website, not your comment) feels like it was written by Opus.

Idk, AI written information is fine if it's purely informative and enables me to do some task or skill better or quicker. I don't mind reading claude artifacts, for example.

But if I'm trying to be entertained, I don't want to hear some machine generated script or even machine-checked script. It feels very impersonal, like you just want it to be correctly worded and grammatically correct, almost like you're going to be graded on it. The viewer isn't grading your grammar, they want to be entertained and see/hear you put on a performance that is your creative output.

I see many Youtubers who are certainly still writing their own scripts, but every once in a while you can tell they absolutely used a Claude correction in one place.

IMO, it's still better to not let an AI critique your writing style at all, only the facts and claims you're making against its context / MCPs. Your own writing style is a reflection of your mind's thought process and, especially on forums like this one, is the only way to imbue your ideas with your personality.

Their existence is the only thing keeping costs down across the board. If they had gotten open-weight model importing banned in the US a year ago, I'm sure they'd have 100% increased token cost relative to the advertised 100%+ intelligence improvements.

That change was many many years ago. I personally find Krisp super efficient (no adverse CPU usage or anything) and highly useful. It's better than Apple's 'noise isolation' at not picking up e.g. sharp / fast / heavy breathing.

Its main draw isn't explicitly gaming, but where your social interactions more often align with that of a friend group / in a group chat dynamic where everyone's talking with everyone or hangs out together at similar times. Gaming is just how it started, because nearly all gaming groups have this sort of social dynamic. (Obviously Discord does support DMs)

The fact that it also scales up to handle hundreds or thousands of concurrent users made it work for pretty much everyone. Suddenly you had one place you could go where there were thousands of other people all interested in the same thing you were interested in, and could meet new people or new friend groups over that said shared interest.

It also absolutely needed:

- persistent, non-disappearing text chats that last forever*

- Free image uploads (and thus meme sharing)

- voice chat & screen sharing, proxied (so no DDOS attacks after a malicious person grabs your IP in a public voice chat)

- role-based access control, so you could have an announcements chat for your server where only admins can say things, you can appoint certain people as moderators, etc

- a mobile app with push notifications (to mimic the text message paradigm of being always available to chat with your friends)

- Discord building out the ability to connect custom bots so early

*: No word yet on if they'll ever start cleaning up old messages and attachments. There must be hundreds of petabytes of attachments stored in multi-AZ google cloud buckets that will never be accessed ever again.

"Can" and "will be used by the people in power to" are two different things. and "Can in a way that would work" is a whole nother thing.

And yet they go for the arts first...

IMO changes to a touchscreen would've been perfect for professional artists, but only if it enabled using an Apple Pencil. Which is pretty unlikely if they don't also solve the ergonomics of doing that, e.g. with a 360" hinge.

That's a big ask. Probably only work the few hundred it'd take to do that, then get the data off it, if you had some super important documents // crypto wallet.
