You are right. We should give up all hope at just give in, there is nothing we can do.

27·1 month agoIf people actively pay for this, they are bloody idiots.
6·2 months agoGhost is getting activitypub support.
2·2 months agoYes, but they do it in a way that make rich people even richer. And the trickle down economy makes sure that it also makes politicians richer.
I still dont understand why we need bluesky.
2·2 months agoI wish more people would create worker owned cooperatives. They might be more resilient and might even be more productive. Of cause the downside is that they don’t make one person very rich.
1·2 months agoI don’t think this can be solved with any type of technology. It needs legislation. These AI companies need regulation.
I really hope these developers create new independent studios and if they ever get offered a big bag of money, they will remember what happened last time. Maybe they will be smart enough to create worker owned studios and not waste huge salaries on useless CEOs.
It’s not about privacy. It’s about AI companies stealing other peoples work and knowledge and profiting. Like what they did with artists. And I think that’s bothering a lot of people. It’s kind of sad that we cannot exchange information with each other for free, without some Silicon Valley crooks taking advantage and trying to convert other people’s good will into profit.
These LLMs are also polluting the web with AI junk and slop. The web is absolutely tainted with shitty ChatGPT text and images, making it harder and harder to find authentic information. I think a lot of people don’t want to contribute with that.
I don’t mind ads in EA games, mostly because I will never play them.
Not even in games can an honest peasant drink.
It seems to matter for the users at Stack Overflow. And why should anybody give anything for free to the crooks in Silicon Valley. All they do is create technology designed to extract value out of people and give as little as possible back.
It’s owned by Meta/Facebook a company that’s makes its money spying on users. Signal or Simplex Chat are much better choices.
How could anybody stop the AI robbers from stealing content from the fediverse?
I think something like Simplex Chat is easier to use.
You are right, that there are no games now bound to the cloud right now. But look at Microsoft business model in other areas. It’s all software as a service, web apps in the cloud, that businesses pay a subscription to use. It’s great way to extract value from customers, because it gets harder and harder to move away from these platforms. Your data, save games, your friend list, your ability to play multiplayer and so on, get increasingly locked to one platform, which makes it harder to move. And then Microsoft can just collect rent, they don’t have to innovate or compete on a free market. This trend is sometimes called techno-feudalism.
I’m sure the Saudis are super fair and would not dream of targeting queer people.
Don’t forget meditation apps!
