I still feel like they seem to be building a bit too much hype to what’s going to be just another type of social media in the fediverse with scarce posts made by almost exclusively tech enthusiasts

Wake me up when they finally bring up the UI to modern standards

Same with people believing all vtubers are AI chatbots or, to a lesser extent, that all female vtubers are just men with voice changers.

Like a minute or two of looking up either on any search engine would clear things up. But hell if it does show how little the average internet user seems to know about AI or audio editing. A lot of people seem to think technology is just straight up magic.

Why would someone willingly do this to themselves

Saying it works is very generous.

If this is how I fall into the vtuber rabbit hole I swear to god

So you’re telling me a quick and easy way to leave a mark on the internet forever is to post a picture of my shit? Better get those laxatives ready

They also originated loot boxes (TF2)

To this day I don’t get the point of the “different” styles if none of the effects are real in-universe. Y’all are just swinging swords around, how come a swordsmanship style becomes more powerful just cause its named sun.

I just found a video of this girl’s mom roasting her in front of her audience and now this. OK I accept the divine sign, I will watch this vtuber.

Honestly if anyone gives them their money at this point. That’s on them.

Its the absolute lack of algorithm. No, really. I know Mastodon toots it as a feature, but without an algorithm to keep people scrolling most people just close the app and do something else. People who don’t understand instances would just go to mastodon.social anyway, but since no mastodon instance is actively trying to keep its users engaged 24/7, people naturally realize they have better things to do than to use social media all say.

Which is better for humanity, but bad for retention.

IIRC, Netflix is the one pushing the show, came with their plan of making a live action OP.

So yeah, I don’t have my hopes up regarding longevity

This implies excel stands for extraordinary cellibate

Why is the preview pic two politicians kissing aggresively

The only active AI feature is the automatic alt text one, and that’s entirely local. The second one is a sidebar that will just open AI chat websites, which you could already do by just, ya know, looking up the webpages the regular way. No data is getting sent anywhere so far.

Probably impossible but I wonder if it will finally get to the part with the half animal people (the last arc).

I take it they finally moved on from 1990 in the government?

Wait I haven’t been keeping up since the ui refresh. What are they doing

This has been available for most of the year. What took any tech news org so long to even awknowledge its existence?
