Discord's founder: We have gamers to thank for the AI revolution, now it's time to push it to better places
Briefly

Participating behavior is really at the core of what we're about, Citron says. When people ask me if Discord is social media, my answer is nowe're a communications platform. I use the words participate' and talk' a lot. Social media has turned our social lives into entertainment mediascrolling and looking at pictures and laughing at videoswhich is fun, and it does help you feel like you have other people in your life, but it is very different than sitting in a room having deep conversation and laughing and joking and playing with your friends. And that's what Discord is about.
I think especially with video games, they tend to be at the forefront of new technology. A lot of times, new technology seems like a toy. If you think about graphics processing units, they were invented to draw triangles on the screen so you could play high resolution video games, and now they're driving our cars. It turns out that it's the same technology, and now it powers this AI revolution and it started in gaming, Citron says.
