Honk is a brand-new real-time messenger that displays what you and your friends type in real time. With no send button and no chat history, it’s the closest a chat can feel to a real life conversation. Since launching at the end of 2020, users have typed over 250 million characters on Honk.
To get someone’s attention, Honk them. Once you’ve typed a message, clear it, and it’s gone forever. Express yourself will full-screen emojis. Personalize everything, from nicknames for your contacts to chat themes and more. Honk is fast, fun, private, and built to make messaging — even from a distance — feel like talking face-to-face.
Deep Fakes - Funny, the image at the top of the wikipedia page is pretty shit, but I think that when devils like Republican Paul Gosar’s deep fakes are being released by even our government representatives, that the world is gonna hit a whole new level of crazy. Reality and non-reality will become indistinguishable. Already, mental patients like Donald Trump have demonstrated they can get many USAers to believe the most obviously crazy shit without deep fakes. When audio & videos can be created to enhance mental patients like Trumps delusions, it could be the beginning of the end of the world.
