@lastmanmoder @Telnyash @phosacetym @kyaingalt @BluebriarArts the meds aren't supposed to solve your problems, just to help you get to a spot where you have a fighting chance against your problems. they're single part of a bigger process.

I get shit can feel hopeless, but it's better to go out putting up a fight than lying down.

@Rafa_Schwinger @brave ah yes the uh.
glorified google chrome ran by a homophobic trump guy

sounds like a great option
much better than the less Google-adjacent options like Waterfox and Zen Browser

Remember, it was Twitter that ruined this API for everyone. They abused it to get a list of installed apps to use in ad targeting. The list was absurdly large, like 2500 items.

macOS: Swoomp

everyone who voted for chat control should not be in the EU parliament

realistically though, what are they gonna do? force all ISPs to install DPI nodes and block all e2ee messaging platforms that don't comply with scanning? just like china and russia? for real?

@HalfGlassOfLuke @valvesoftware the price is out of touch, because the price of memory is out of touch, because the AI "entrepreneurs" buying up all the memory are out of touch

nothing to be done about it at the moment, though, sadly

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.

Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.

Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."

Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."

Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.

They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.

One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."

Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.

That's the metered intelligence business model.

And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

@papapapootie @ProbableChris @kirawontmiss and instead of protesting to repeal that bullshit, the people are fighting between each other?? yelling at each other for something that's actually the fault of some long-dead parasites in the government????

@Amoresome @RandallSaber45 @_voxdafox as an early gen Z, and knower of other gen Zs, I agree with Uncle Iroh
