My later experience on STEEM was people whining about bots and whales and flags - when all I wanted to do is post and earn and interact. I saw value in that alone. After a refreshing break after the fork, and renewed optimism with HIVE, things seemed back on track. But now I see the complaining happening again. If the big investors declare HIVE a lost cause, a failed experiment, a terminally ill patient, then whoever dumps the fastest wins - if this is the new game then cash out quick and feel good getting out before it dips below $0.10.
But if we remain optimistic about the vision and forge ahead towards the vision, then there is incentive to invest, to powerup, to grow and improve our content and consistency. Then we all can enjoy a fair market value for HIVE that is consistent with the content provided.
It's my opinion that the reason big traders never want to shelter their gains with HIVE (or HBD) is because of the pessimism they read about on the chain. Who wants their massive trading gains sheltered on a "terminally flawed" blockchain?
The more we focus on what's WRONG with HIVE, the less time we focus on what's RIGHT with HIVE. Maybe i'm a bit naive, but I'm still optimistic about this chain, otherwise I would have left a long time ago. I still enjoy posting and earning and interacting here. I still see value in that.
base64 dApp idea.Your thoughts do not sound naive, to me, at all. If we survived @berniesanders then we can get through this as well. After my long break my interest has been revived, yet it is with the vision of HIVE as a utility token for my
ChatGPT threatens the social media aspect of HIVE in my opinion. You can check out two experiments of mine which were created with ChatGPT. Both did pretty well by my normal reward metrics. The first was pretty much straight from ChatGPT, while the second was massaged a bit more.
Example 1
Example 2
I'm excited to see any app ideas here on HIVE. Storing image files on the chain is brilliant. I have this distopian vision of the post-internet world, where the blockchain text and code data is preserved, but all the images are lost. Since many of my posts are image driven, this is pretty significant.
ChatGPT is still pretty transparent in my opinion. I'm sure it'll improve over the next few years, but for now it's still easy to discern. If I were to have clicked on either of those examples, I would have smelled something off. I see they still gained some upvotes, but if only AI generated content were used over a period of time, I believe the upvotes would begin to disappear... if they are human upvotes.
If people get upvotes on AI generated posts, I see it no different than upvotes on a single image or some silly pointless text. At least the AI information has some (potential) value for the reader! Should the account owner get rewarded for AI content? No, but I don't see is as any worse (perhaps it's better) than a lazy, no effort post. It actually takes a bit of effort to think of BS for the AI to generate! So I guess I don't see AI as much of a threat. Unless some sort of auto-posting AI generated script is used, it still takes brains and creativity just to use ChatGPT to come up with topics and content.
Perhaps up the road an alternate portal, like peakd, etc., could be worked on to decode the images while viewing posts. The base64 encoded images on a shard chain could then act like the AWS cloud servers do now with images in posts. First things first though. :)
You are quite right. Having worked with ChatGPT a lot as a programming mentor, one dead giveaway is its use of bullet points. That is not to say that others do not use that technique in their writing on the chain, however it seems a consistent style of ChatGPT.
You make many good points and have relieved my concerns somewhat.
Thanks for your feedback!
When 'free' downvotes was enabled he was told that we were done letting him run over people and he cashed out, afaik.
Hw's is interested in any ai content you can find, it has been added to their scope.
Good riddance to Bernie. Hope he gets help.
Will keep an eye out.
No one wants to invest over acidyo and company owning the blockchain.
It's not a good investment when you are just supporting that scum...
And circle jerk? Oh that is the biggest one here. And they constantly bully others. How about that BIDBOT WAR!
And then with them bullying ecency to remove boosting votes?
Very clearly the issues with hive are from the leadership of odc and it's HW lackeys.
Hive needs to be cleaned out or it's going to continue to tank...
