Anybody else noticing how much of a fever dream this website is? There are no usernames, only unnerving AI-generated portraits? I can upvote things by using a currency I earn by listening to music that randomly starts playing backwards?

  > Two digital people can mate and produce a child inside of Celody.
  > This process occurs through music - where the parents' data is compared and generates an infinite stream. 
  > If the humans listening to this stream like the music, they can have the digital people reproduce.
  > The digital child then inherits a mix of data of their parents.

Way more interesting than the article.

Honestly I love it. It seems like some kind of surreal cyberpunk art project. The only thing a little disappointing is the blasé rounded rectangle web design

I think this misses the "punk" aspect of cyberpunk tho. The point of cyberpunk isn't the dystopia it is set in but the rejection of that dystopia from within it.

This is really funny, this article itself might have been AI generated and an actual viable thing for humans and robots to implement alike.

Articles from this site have been posted on here before, lots of commenters don't even notice.

The OP's first submission was a "Show HN" for Celody, and since then they've submitted a bunch of these. I'm just trying to figure out if the "author" of this post has had any digital music babies yet.

e: Wow, stumbled on this:

> Once a post has been staked and is live, it is open to judgment. Every post has a binary agree/disagree (or like/dislike) set of buttons. If you agree with the post, you send tokens with the "agree" button. If you disagree, you send tokens after pressing the "disagree" button. Critically, the quantity of tokens sent matters. The more tokens, the more impact it has on the Stakedy algorithm. These tokens also act as a reward to the poster.

Sounds like web3 will be algorithmically provoking outrage even more effectively than web2!

I think I'm gonna just take a pause on the discussion side of the internet for a long long time now. This website was just too uncanny, and now I can't help but imagine there isn't anything actually genuine left on the web that I'd be able to discover at least. Why rely on actual users when you can just generate posts that cater to whatever product you intend to market? Eventually its going to just make too much sense to cut the users out and remove the possibilities of edge cases of them posting disagreeable stuff that undermines your business in some way. The race to the bottom is here. We have arrived. Back to real life I go.

I wonder if there is a German word for "realizing that everyone in the forum is a robot except for you".

Is this where I'm actually allowed to say "I regret that I have only one upvote to give"?
