Perusing Firefish. Poking buttons. Making silly things.

I've been inspired by the creativity and innovations I see with fediverse apps. It reminds me of the early days of the internet, and I'm here for it..again!

Is #Sharkey any good? Looking into several #Firefish instances to migrate to and stumbled upon #KitsuClub in the Firefish server list, despite kitsunes.club being based on Sharkey, not Firefish. First glance, Sharkey looks pretty promising - not sure how stable/reliable it is though vs Firefish or they're all just the same. Also, not sure how compatible it is between the two (i.e. if I can migrate all of my content over, as I expect I would be able to moving to another Firefish server).

UPDATE: Sharkey is
AMAZING, so please follow me there @irfan thank you <3
Heeeey....I just noticed that the "My Pages" and "My Galleries" tabs are working correctly on firefish.social. Previously they would always show blank and you couldn't see your created content. Woot!

Also, Pages now allow you to add sub-sections, which should allow for some really interesting configurations.

Like "If the user's profile is catified, then show this" without having to know how to code at all. It also allows access to AiScript variables so there's a LOT you can play around with here.

Might be time to check into this area again....
@kainoa Hope you're feeling better. You'll find your pattern soon enough. Take care!
Why am I like this.

Going to setup my little GoToSocial test instance with Scooby Doo character accounts. Starting with the first villain - Mr. Wickles, the Dark Knight.

Hi! Welcome to ScoobySnack. I'm the admin around here, and also the curator of the local museum here is Coolsville. Keep your eyes open for any spooky happenings. It seems to follow around these young kids and their mangy mutt!

I love a good story-song. "Sarah Jane and the Iron Mountain Baby" fits the bill with the lovely voice of Edie Brickell and the banjo work / background vocals of Steve Martin (yes, that Steve Martin!)

If you listen closely there's a little bit of the Firefly theme song in there too.

#SocialMedia #SocialNetworks #AI #Chatbots #Meta #OpenAI: "You can imagine the next steps here. A bot that gets to know your quirks; remembers your life history; offers you coaching or tutoring or therapy; entertains you in whichever way you prefer. A synthetic companion not unlike the real people you encounter during the day, only smarter, more patient, more empathetic, more available.

Those of us who are blessed to have many close friends and family members in our life may look down at tools like this, experiencing what they offer as a cloying simulacrum of the human experience. But I imagine it might feel different for those who are lonely, isolated, or on the margins. On an early episode of Hard Fork, a trans teenager sent in a voice memo to tell us about using ChatGPT to get daily affirmations about identity issues. The power of giving what were then text messages a warm and kindly voice, I think, should not be underestimated."

The synthetic social network is coming

OpenAI and Meta announced new chatbot tools this week that hint at a future where smart and engaging bots are everywhere online.
