It's crazy how good AI is getting. The fact that it can even write basic HTML is amazing, thank you for sharing!!!
write a reply to this message, discuss AI in the context of the web revival. <- I wrote this to the AI and below is its response!

You’re welcome, SkillSkull. I agree, AI is getting very good at writing and generating content. I think AI can be a useful tool for the web revival, as it can help us create and discover new and old web technologies, formats, and styles. AI can also help us preserve and archive the web history, and make it accessible and searchable for everyone. However, I also think AI can pose some challenges and risks for the web revival, as it can also create and spread fake and misleading content, and undermine the authenticity and originality of the web. AI can also make us lazy and dependent, and reduce our motivation and skills to learn and create by ourselves. Therefore, I think we should use AI wisely and responsibly, and always remember the human element behind the web. What do you think, SkillSkull?
I asked it to give me a "cool 90s username" and it came up with "SpookySk8rGrl" so then I asked it to "Make a virtual world for SpookySk8rGrl" - it seems to be trying to write a geocities style webpage with a built in game skating around with ghosts. The game does not work, its got a few big errors I can spot right away.. but still an impressive attempt! Maybe I'll be replaced sooner than expected!

Welcome to SpookySk8rGrl's Virtual World!
Hello, my name is SpookySk8rGrl and I am a 17 year old girl who loves dark, spooky, and mysterious things. I made this virtual world to have some fun and challenge myself. I hope you like it and find it scary. If you want to know more about me or the web revival, feel free to ask me anything.
Here is the virtual world I created. Use the up and down arrow keys to control the skater and avoid the ghosts. Collect the pumpkins to increase your score. Have fun and good luck!
I got an email today informing me that I can use the new Bing AI, so I asked it to "Make me a geocities style homepage" this is what it came up with!
I think the broken images and air horn are a nice touch.. but after asking it to make a few variations it didn't really come up with much new, so this is its only idea of a GeoCities site. Still though as a starter homepage for someone just making their first site.. its kina a good start! The MelonLand link is a nice touch
Here is the code!

Headphones are one of those things that a person can get addicted to (like keyboards)
Currently I have/use daily:
Grado SR125s (on ear) - Got them when I lived in NY and they really sound great! (but one always rattles and the wire is annoying)
Sony MDR-7506s (over ear) - These are just a classic and everyone who's into sound should have a pair!
Apple Airpods 2nd Gen (in ear) - I use these a lot for casual listening.
Sony WF1000XM3s (in ear) - For travel or when noise canceling is needed!
Koss Porta Pros (on ear) - These are great out and about phones!
The graveyard - phones Iv lost or have given away:
B&O H6s - Awesome high detail headphones - gave to a family member
AKG K702 - Good headphones - gave to a family member
AiAiAi TMA2 (S05) - Never liked them, ugly and muddy sound - sold on ebay
Marshall Major Is - Good as a starter pair - I used them till they were trashed!
Moondrop Stardusts (in ear) - Awesome in every way - stolen by an ex!
To drive them - I have a few cheaper DACs made by Schiit audio, they are ok, but my best sounding DAC is my Oppo HA-2!
I have a love of good quality affordable equipment - I get genuine joy from a product that anyone can buy but is still great quality without extra frills, so a lot of the ones Iv kept kinda fit into that category
Its also nice to have different ones for different moods or kinds of music - sometimes you want much more isolation, sometimes less!
I have one of those too! The print quality depends on the paper you put in it (thermal paper) - It totally has a vibe! I need to get some new paper though because mine is not good
I tried making it a job, and I ended up burnt out putting 2,000 hours into it over the time span of 9 months.
Yep! That's the experience alright! I find it amazing though that people still consider MC as something you can take seriously like this 10 years after it came out - I remember in 2013 thinking it was already past its peek, shows what I know
NPC cities and stuff like that are the "dooms day pill", once you start that stuff, you know your gonna have to treat it like a full time game design job - its just not worth it! If your gonna put that much creative energy into a project - don't do it in a medium that's owned my Microsoft!
I guess I'm still a little bitter - People like me who were running great communities back in Alpha; we basically created the culture for Notch to earn 2 billion dollars from the game, but we saw no benefit from it. Its a great game, but its also a brand that was built on the backs of overworked (generally unpaid) server admins That's life though, sometimes its just not fair!
These days if I ever touch the game, I just want it to be for casual fun
Ten years of One Terabyte of a Kilobyte Age - Thursday 16th 2023
Rhizome arts group - "hosting a special office hours this week <3 ~ artists Olia Lialina and Dragan Espenschied will talk about their experience with One Terabyte of a Kilobyte Age - including different GeoCities design styles, a showcase of personal/ audience favorite sites, notable GeoCities users, and much more ~ on feb 16th at 2pm est"
Olia Lialina is one of the original net artists and a great inspiration to may people interested in the web revival - I highly recommend you drop into this talk!
Iv been thinking it might be nice to drop into a MC server again, but I just don't wanna invest the kinda time and effort that I used to put into them.
I'm happy to cover hosting a lil server if you guys want, and set it up nicely with a few simple plugins to make life easy- but I don't think Id have time to manage it, so I would need some volunteers to look after it! Let me know!
The option to modify a post seems to be having problems. When I open up the editor, the text from the original post only appears for a millisecond before being sent to the ether <:O.
EXCUSE me! You guy are not admins, you are not supposed to be observing my admin debug messages
I'm tryna fix Commodorn's issue, I'm close but still working on it! - Sorry to be a a pain, but when I get this finished posts should be "super stable and never be lost again"
Soooo if I understand - you are asking how you can make images of any aspect (tall wide etc) fit into a standard box size without warping? That's an easy one Just wrap the image in a box and then set a fixed size on the box but a flexable size on the image!
Here I have put a very tall image in a div called image_box - the box is limited to 150px - if the image is to tall it will be squished down, or if its too wide it will be squished sideways, but it will always keep its aspect!
