Why would you want to replace the internet at a technical level, which is what the post appears to be focused on?
There's plenty of arguments to burn-it-down at a social level, but building a second technical implementation doesn't get you around those. Having individuals own more of the core doesn't do much when the network level itself is largely neutral to the content that passes through it.
Also the core of the internet is built around big, fat pipes. Those are beyond the means of most hobbiest folks running their own equipment. Without those pipes, traffic will reach bottlenecks easily and usability will suffer.
Looks better to me. Less transparency is better.
I really hated that ghost outline around the edge. Made it seem like artifacting from an analog conversion or something.
I'm not in love with the number font though. Also why are the number fonts different between the countdown and the timings?
I'm old enough to have had one and a Tripod and Prodigy page for that matter. I still don't think the analogy holds up at all. Geocities was a single centralized commercial entity even. People contributed the content and they hosted it, this is still to this very day what traditional web hosting is. What I guess you want is more authentic, personal content?
If AI content is a chief concern, what would be the mechanism to stop the flow of it that couldn't be applied (at a technical level) to the internet as it exists today? Or what human-driven policies could be made and policed better on a new network that nobody truly owns? (hint: this is already the internet)
As much as I look forward to DTS the week that it airs, I pretty much forget all about it the week after when we get back to racing. It'd be nice if they could get it out a month before the season starts or something so it has a little longer to soak in your mind.
I knew they'd blow the Ricciardo angle though. Everything you think is going to be a big part of the season they just end up glossing over.
They did this on Top Gear (or Grand Tour maybe, can't remember). Personally, cooking doneness aside, I wouldn't want some exhaust leakage from the engine or burning oil that's seeping from a gasket to taint the flavor of the food even if there were a guarantee of no carcinogens from it.
Ad revenue while it does convert free-service users to dollars isn't the only means of commercialization (traditional business subscriber models for one) and as long as any financial incentives are there (not just ad-related), there will be spam of all kinds. Any general purpose medium will be come subject to this, it's inevitable.
To the large point, a very very small amount of users have the means, capability or desire to host their own networks and services. Raising the technical bar means lowering the audience size. Even then, you'll still find bad actors and people you don't agree with.
They're wired to want to win so they're going to do whatever and say whatever it takes in the context of the sport. It's great that they can hang that persona up when they leave the race track though and just be relaxed about it. What makes F1 great is the personalities that we get to see and them interacting. I've watched a lot of endurance racing (WEC) and it's something you rarely get, mostly because of the number of drivers involved and how few races there are per year.
