It definitely will be. Thousands of sci-fi writers warned us, but noooooo humanity has ZERO self-restraint. We’re already as good as gone, and not just because of AI. Climate mutilation, insatiable list for wealth at the expense of everyone, combined with AI. We are already as good as extinct. Fate accompli.

How many roads must a man walk down?

One day

Yeah seriously there’s literally nothing to defend them about anything. Even doing so with something technically accurate is just plain blind.

What can I say; I don’t read what random strangers say when my purpose of watching his videos is his videos. And I don’t hold him accountable for what those strangers say. I’m just focused like that. To each their own.

You ever moderate a YouTube comments section? It’s nearly a full-time job. And it would be one thing if he were just a YouTuber, but the guy does a ton of good in the real world, for real people.

So you’re saying commenters are jerks - which is out of his control - then you speculate that you “wouldn’t be surprised if he has changed for the worst”

This is how a bad reputation spreads - through speculation and low effort commentary. You’ve said nothing valid but insulted the guy without any basis.

Not attacking you here - we all get lazy, but cite a personal interaction or observation of him specifically. Because otherwise you could just be besmirching a genuinely decent guy who’s trying his best.

Personally, I think he’s doing extraordinarily good things for the consumer world without a shred of reward for his efforts. Every gigantic company that enjoys screwing over consumers for extra profits hates him and tries to derail his work at every turn. He certainly doesn’t need to be shit on by someone who’s going purely on conjecture. So please don’t. :)

The article reads like it was written by AI to begin with. I can’t take it seriously.

No, that wasn’t a correlation. Only bad can result from it. Also, companies making profit love it. Separate things.

The problem is most people are computer illiterate. Hell, illiterate in general.

So there would have to be some host that has an easy to use personal social network object thingy and well, there you have it: new platform.

Until there’s some kind of open source standard that anyone can obtain, setup, host, use and maintain all on their own without learning more than the most minuscule amount of new knowledge, the platform will be where they flock. People just don’t want to learn anything.

Just wait and see.

I don’t know how anyone is pro AI anything other than the pigs making money from it. Only bad can result of it. And will.

I mean… haven’t they been surviving purely on inertia for a while already?

If only people could be united to sacrifice one giant company make an example of them. But you couldn’t get ten Americans to fart in synchronicity unless you were paying them and their streaming services were offline. “Revolutionary changes for the better to our economy? Nah, I’m good.”

Yeah it’s not even a discussion whether they could fight something like a subpoena, and even companies that would like to sometimes can’t afford to do it. But Facebook practically works for them, they seem to have some kind of arrangement behind the scenes - if not an out and out partnership. They are glad and willing always to provide the government with everything they ask for.

Maybe this is how Zuck the schmuck has stayed out of jail for the shit he’s done; maybe he’s worth far more being their espionage tool.

Between them and Amazon just collecting data and handing it over to any TLA that wants it.

They could have said okay here you g… oooops jeez it’s gone. Wow how did that happen. Oh well.

They’re a branch of the government at this point. Call it investing in avoiding the kind of scrutiny they should have been under the moment they started psychological experiments on the public.

They admitted to it but I don’t see Zuck the fuck in jail do you?

I knew it sounded familiar. I remember this.

Honestly though, if anything things have only gotten worse not better.

Dude it’s not really called complicit anymore they’re effectively a subsidiary of the government.

It doesn’t have rights until it slides out of the vagina or cesarean section. Until that moment it’s none of anyone’s business but the mother.

And it’s not the government or Facebook or any fucking one else’s place to criminalize this, or to presume to have a right to have any say in the matter.

I’m a male white democrat but I don’t even lean as far left as many fellow liberals. I’m close to left center. Nevertheless, it astounds me how many people put a line where the baby “could” potentially survive. So what? It’s still in the mother’s body it’s still part of her body. And it’s nobody else’s right to have any say about it whatsoever - except arguably a minor vote to the father, a little bit. But ultimately this whole criminalization is not about life at all, but about politics and economics.

Stupid to talk about anything on Facebook.

If it had been phone company turning over text messages then I’d be livid. But seriously who fucking trusts Facebook with that kind of thing? After everything they’ve done that’s been proven why would anyone trust them with an iota of private information?

Lol likewise!

I used to use OneDrive but they recently shrunk down everyone’s free storage capacity to laughably small space and now wish for everyone to subscribe to more paid space.

🖕🏼bye bye OneDrive.

Basically yeah. I’m sure they’re not shy about the lies they peddle, just selling their services to whoever has no qualms about using them.

What’s with the whole “I don’t support JK Rowling” I’m curious because I must be out of the loop about something.

You know exactly what the reason is. To sell the info. Because money. And more money.

Solution: the moment the billionaire comes around to survey the surrounding land, fucking shoot him dead.

I’ve got a couple of machines that I put new batteries into not long ago. If it’s solid hardware, throw Linux in there and give it new longevity.

It’s nothing but a cesspool now. He killed it.

It’s that they know that it’s more profitable to seek forgiveness than to ask permission.

Get sued? Hah; okay see you in court in ten years. Meanwhile, profit. They can do it over and over and it will always be beneficial.

There needs to be SEVERE sanctions for these violations. Like in the millions. That’s the only way they’d stop. They just don’t care at all.

So what you’re saying is nothing important is being lost.

Young people seem to proudly go along with the biggest name, which is really sad. They think there’s merit in that, conforming means acceptance.

Meanwhile, anytime I encounter a young non-conformist doing something very contrarian, it gives me some hope for the future. Because 99% of society is open-armedly embracing dystopia because the one thing they hate more than anything is the burden of independent thought and self-determinism. To intelligent freethinking individuals, seeing it play out is a waking nightmare.
