Another new Xitter clone by an ex-Xitter exec, Maven, is basically using OpenAI to categorize posts, and using algorithms to generate a feed based on selected topics. So no 'following', just 100% topics based on algo...
In theory it's good, but it'll eventually just feed you mostly ads, because that's the only way to profit off social media. No following means all conversations would be topical instead of community, which is kinda like Deaddit.
@anianimalsmoe Isn’t there already a piece of software named Maven? Seems like poor naming, which isn’t a good start (always search any name you intend to use, even the big dogs fail at it. We almost got the Honda Fitta (that’s slang for female genitalia in Swedish and possibly more)).
I still think these kind of algorithms are neat, but only if I’m in charge of them myself. If AI can sort out ads, spam, abuse, fascism, etc I think it might just end up being good :)
@anianimalsmoe Whenever I see someone today name a company or a product something very common I think they are either foolish or IKEA. But IKEA does it on purpose for a reason.
(It’s the name of places, given names, or basic verb/adjective/nouns in Swedish. No need to trademark it then. Very safe. Examples being Kivik, Billy, and Blåhaj.)
Maven social media also so beta that registering with email doesn't even require dealing with an activation email... :leafeonmoney: They must be drowning in investor money.
