the concept in the retweet won't become a mainstream thing. i still think content is meant to be consumed and not directed as the consumer.
a good example is those Netflix movies which prompt you with a few options and based on the one you choose, the movie will take that direction and play a different scenario. yes it introduces agency, but it also removes immersion. when im watching something, i don't want to be the consumer and also be the director. i want to sit back, relax and just immerse myself in the show.
however, in the likely scenario this becomes automated, where the algorithm learns from your watch history and your content preferences, this could become something people indulge in. Sora by OpenAI was a good example, they made a dedicated app for sharing AI creations. it worked pretty well, so it proves theres a market for AI slop consumption. it wasn't really live, it was just short-form content but generated with AI by other users. is there a big difference? kinda. personally, whether im watching AI content live or premade it doesnt make much of a difference when i know its just pixels being rearranged. but, AI content made by humans is actually qualitatively different compared to an algorithm generating AI content on the fly based on what it has learned that you love to consume.
but no matter what, i do think that personalized content will be the next step for the content industry. there will be nothing better than being immersed in a recreation of your own inner world thats been engineered by dense algorithms for your personal enjoyment. no creator can truly deliver a piece of content that strikes every single viewers inner world so precisely and accurately, as content designed for mainstream consumption is usually stripped of that. but this would completely change the game and make it so that each individual receives a perfect slice tailored to their own world without any creator or entity having to worry about optimizing for audience A, B and C, and viewer X, Y and Z.
it will be like when ChatGPT released. everyone was like "whaaat!?! no way" and it became the new thing everyone was using and consuming. it spread like wildfire. it was truly a revolutionary step forward in the way we learn, understand and navigate the world around us.
and this particular hyper optimized personalized content format could achieve the same effects. time will tell

Still experimenting with the prompts and just seeing how it compiles the art-style. But this project will be cool. I plan to create an entire fictional universe for this.
These imgs you see are prototypes and lack the depth I will be implementing into scenes once I nail down the prompts.
cool prototype, though i think if this had a set theme that the generations stuck to (like round-based) would be a lot more watchable. like rick and morty becomes the theme, and everyone just contributes their inputs to that specific universe, which adds a lot more coherence as opposed to random clips clashing and overlapping together with no base theme
exactly lol. people truly overlook how world-widening the internet really is. you become immersed in a dance of cultural moments and have the ability to express yourself through a digital medium which previously was never possible
i could go on about it all day but truly the internet is a great thing to have happened
@Quotient_Z@AuntySlayerKlin but how would them making kids believe anyone can be a streamer keep them stuck? i think your take makes sense but im not entirely following
@bododidodado@KevinD21x we're in 2026 and unfortunately any historical precedent is out of sync with modern reality. cultures have shifted dramatically, we're no longer in that era and its almost naive to think people would react the same way they did 100 years ago.
@bododidodado@KevinD21x i dont give a fuck what happened close to a century ago. you're acting as if people wouldn't flee the country to save their lives
