I am not a conspiracy theorist. Reality is trying it’s damnedest to make me one.

For me, right now. I’m having a blast figuring out how to self host all the enshittified services that I’m closing off access to.
Catch 22 really, I’m enjoying it because I’m learning so much, so fast but probably shouldn’t have to and it’s not feasible for most I realize.
Upvote for truth, the whole series is great. I really do love the Blue Jean Committee though, despite them being fictional, they are nevertheless my favorite 70’s soft rock group.
Truth is, I was never an O’Brien fan, but can’t argue with the logic :)
Only shadenfreud I have is that my deleted banter that they will assuredly include, will hopefully increase the stupidity of whatever model gets trained on it. Ugh, what a dystopia we’re building.
This has got to be the start of another bubble popping. It just has to, right? With essentially all online services doing everything they can to wring out every last penny of value without any eye towards the future (other than ai all the things)… something’s gotta give.
But then again, maybe it’s just my eyes being open after living in those spaces for so long. Granted I’ve been out of Facebook for years, been de-amazonning for a couple (it’s really f’ing hard) and I’ve been trying to de-google as well but it’s even harder (stuck with Apple though). But, now that I’m in the fediverse, where we’re talking about all this, maybe that’s why I’m noticing?
Nah, brace yourselves.
Oh, I know. Was more a reaction to the absurdity of the sentiment that automation was somehow less creepy.
so much better. Instead of a human seeing it, your personal info is now a part of the amazon machine. IMHO it’s even more terrifying to know it’s automated than it would be if some kid unboxed it off the assembly line and personally typed your shit in off a piece of paper.
God I’m old.
I’m in my 40’s and never seen that. Excellent childish humor right here that I too can no longer unsee :)
I support a law that all AI voices must use the Dr. Sbaitso voice. Imagine the impressive inefficiency of training an AI voice with the output from a 1980’s? Sound blaster.
How long until there’s an accepted study of the benefits of electrolytes on plants. Probably already exists in gatoraids filing cabinet.
Ha!
