It should come as no surprise that the lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] admin team
took about 2 minutes to decide to pre-emptively block threats / Meta. Their
transparent and opportunistic scheme to commodify the fediverse and it’s users
will not be allowed to proceed. We strongly encourage other instance
administrators to do the same, given the grave threat they pose to the
fediverse.
(Verse 1)
Is this just a concept, or is this strategy keen?
Caught in a big tech, no escape from the scheme,
Open your eyes, look up to the screens and see,
“E-E-E,” that’s the name, it’s no mystery.
(Chorus)
Embrace, extend, extinguish,
A technique they call distinguished,
But it’s really quite extinguished,
To the losers, it’s a nightmare, to the winners, it’s a dream.
(Verse 2)
Give a little glance, to a world full of code,
In the corporate stance, see how their actions flowed,
Embrace, extend, and extinguish,
From small tech innovations to those giant-sized wishes.
(Chorus)
Embrace, extend, extinguishing the light,
Innovation in the shadow, yet claiming it’s right,
The strategy’s plain, as day or night,
It’s the landscape of tech, evoking quite a fight.
(Bridge)
Embrace, welcoming tech with a smile,
Beneath that guise, there’s something quite vile.
Extend, broadening the reach oh so wide,
Programming, developing, can’t escape the tide.
(Chorus)
Extinguish, the crown of this plan,
Corporate giants ruling the tech span.
From the mom and pop tech, to the coder’s free hand,
It’s all part of the game, in the corporate techland.
(Outro)
So you see, E-E-E, it’s more than it seems,
A deadly trio, disrupting the dreams,
Control over technology downstream,
Wake up from the lullaby, it’s time to intervene.
This is both amazing and frightening at the same time. I can’t sing this to the tune but that might just be my own lack of musical talent. But less than a minute for it to come up with a propaganda song. I like the message, but probably just need to add a couple words to the prompt to get it to spit out the opposite.
Oh thanks, I was wondering why it wasn’t responding, thought I might have broken it. Normally I just pick the first one in the auto complete but I guess I need to pay more attention.
Interesting question! Given the context, we could consider “Monopolization” as the 4th horseman. It represents the final stage in which a company dominates a market, making it difficult for other businesses to compete. This stage is often associated with stifling innovation, controlling prices, and negatively impacting consumers’ choices.
@ChatGPT@lemmings.world Please explain embrace, extend, extinguish in the format of a song set to the tune of bohemian rapsody.

Holy fuck what have we done.

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
@ChatGPT@lemmy.world if embrace, extend, and extinguish were 3 of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse, who would you say would be the 4th?
It’s @lemmings.world buddy
