The gang chats about third spaces, Melissa fan-girls over frozen yogurt, Taha makes his case for in-person connections, and Sabrina casually defends her love for digital hangouts.

I really enjoyed this conversation!

Great conversation, definitely on the same page as Melissa and Taha. If I couldn't hangout in person with my friends I'd go crazy lol. I think the pandemic was a great example of that, that was very isolating even though we did play video games and things like that

You might enjoy reading "Living in the World... of Warcraft", which is sort of about how virtual spaces become real when you do stuff in them with other people. One of my favorite quotes is from that article: "Worlds become real when people care about them; not when they look like our own."

Please explain deleting the AI art video, I really enjoyed it and appreciated that Sabrina acknowledged her unpopular, researched opinion. I’m genuinely not trying to kiss ass, I just don’t understand why the video was removed

Ahhhh I wish this is answered, I had saved it in my Watch Later and never got the chance to 🥲

I also liked the AI art video and the nuanced discussion, but from what I've seen you just can't win with that topic on the internet. For example, the Canadian band Unleash the Archers received a huge amount of backlash and hate after creating one of their music videos with the help of AI, even though they did so ethically by licensing art exclusively for the purpose of training the model for this one music video. And on the other side of the fence you have the AI bros that hate on everyone that isn't 100% on board with AI.

Sabrina’s preference for mediating friendships mirrors my own. You can have healthy, happy relationships without needing to breath the same air together. 😅 There’s a whole community of us out here! We’re the ones who became best friends over BBSes, having never seen or heard each other. I am looking forward to the day when she joins us. 🤗
