LOL, that's fantastic. :D (I swear constantly when I speak, almost as a form of punctuation, but almost never when I write. :D

ammonjohns.bsky.social•105 days ago

Leave it open and it gets quite musical at times. I'm thinking we should see if @davidamerland.bsky.social wants to meditate to it?

iblis-bane.co.za•105 days ago

My god, I didn't even realise it was playing sound. :D (My sound is off by default unless I'm on a headset in a meeting or whatever. I rarely even have it on when I game.)

This should definitely be made into a screen-saver. :D

iblis-bane.co.za•105 days ago

Famous people should record alternative voices for it, like they used to for GPS. :D

ammonjohns.bsky.social•105 days ago

Or at the least AI voices modelled after famous voices. One of the text-to-speech voices I'm always hearing on YouTube lately is John Hurt. I'm hoping they have Brian Blessed somewhere just for "Fuck!"

iblis-bane.co.za•105 days ago

To be fair, that's probably its own can of worms, but I am nonetheless completely behind any initiative that seeks to achieve it. :D

Also...NSFW obviously...Brian Blessed swearing continuously for 2 minutes. :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvGzfV1IRtg

I'm suprised there weren't more words like c*nt, wanker, d*ckwad, so on and so forth...😏 This was actually tame

ammonjohns.bsky.social•105 days ago

And there's no way it is likely to cover the really creative stuff that @docsheldon.bsky.social likes so much

ammonjohns.bsky.social•105 days ago

But I still kinda want to add a drum track and melody

seocopy.bsky.social•105 days ago

Surely, we know someone who can add a track to it?! 😏

ammonjohns.bsky.social•105 days ago

The language got spicier now. Either the timezones, or people testing which words it can do by posting them or simply that its Thanksgiving season...

Why is Thanksgiving a factor? Because everyone gets fowl-mouthed.

seocopy.bsky.social•105 days ago

Ah, but only after they’ve had their fill of the pun-kin pie! *letting myself out*

chrisjj.bsky.social•105 days ago

Thought for a moment it was a recording of me working.

ammonjohns.bsky.social•105 days ago

It's kind of ironic that many are worrying about AI replacing jobs, yet my mate @bada.ms is replaced by something simpler...

dergal.bsky.social•105 days ago

.... I remember the cool things that folks did with twitter - from the UK snow map to so many other visualisations - I hope that the API gives folks the ability to do fun things, love this!

fearless-shultz.bsky.social•105 days ago

My favorite was always the Princess Bride bot that would reply to you when you used the word inconceivable and tell you I don't think that word means what you think it does.

ammonjohns.bsky.social•105 days ago

fearless-shultz.bsky.social•105 days ago

Whether it lasts or not it's nice at least for now to have the vibe of old school twitter back :)

ammonjohns.bsky.social•105 days ago

Absolutely. Or the vibe of any of the old SEO community groups or forums. Twitter was a platform, but the 'vibe' was far older.

ammonjohns.bsky.social•105 days ago

Yeah, any platform that allows it will always benefit from people's creativity (and daftness).

dgossage.bsky.social•105 days ago

Do we know what swear words it monitors though? I can't see any examples of "bollocks", "nobhead" or "gobshite" in there

angleneri.bsky.social•105 days ago

You just came up for me when I tapped on “bollocks”!

dgossage.bsky.social•105 days ago

Love it!
