  • You can launch an app all you want, but I don’t use my phone… It’s likely not compatible with whatever app they present anyway… So now I have to buy a new phone every idk, 3 years or so to do a bit of ranting here and there?

    For a European to be able to use Social media, I first have to agree with all kinds of American TOS’s : (Apple, Google, or whatever semi-alternative that requires a Google app-store). Basically making our GDPR subordinate to the US.



















  • It’s just another tool for companies to evade costumer confrontation. It’s just another tool to score online likes for the least effort. It’s just another tool to grift It’s just another tool to claim creativity while no creativity was part of it.

    And then there’s an issue of fascism. From one source of “oversight” AI gives people what they “need to know”, how to write things, what decisions to make. It is “handy”, but it takes over control. AI tells you both what to find online and how to be found easier. And in that way AI tells you what is “normal”, “protect against misinformation”, and explains what’s the new “truth”. That gets rehashed until everything is mixed together into a beige mash, and only central “oversight” is allowed to tell “no”… why? euh, Black box decisions. Perhaps we should call it Techno-Fascism.

    But for the rest, it’s a great tool to be used in the field of science.
