14·5 days agoProfitability went out of fashion. Control and power is the new trend. Big tech controls 95% (if not more) of all information sources. Even if they don’t own newspapers, they can make them more or less visible at will. Google tried to monetize it with ads everywhere but that is the old way of thinking.
Cambridge analytica showed that by controlling the information, you can select who makes the laws.
Musk bought Twitter without any chance for a reasonable return on investment. Guess why?
The “old tech” (Google, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok) controls what you know. But AI goes a step further. It controls what you think about things. It can explain why, what you thought was outrageous, is perfectly normal, or vice versa. It’s your own personalised propaganda machine. Once enough people are hooked and get used to using AI, the enshitification phase will begin and the AI will become more and more opinionated. And most people won’t notice… Some will, but they don’t need to influence everyone.
Don’t worry, it makes your life a little bit harder now, but it is worth it, because if everything goes well, your employer will save a lot of money by firing you. Yes you will lose your source of income, but ChatGPT will help you by providing tips on how to survive as a homeless person!
Totally worth it.
Impossible!
People only use languages other than English, to make fun of Americans. But as soon as there are no Americans near, we all switch back to English /s
Most good changes are difficult. And it’s not “all or nothing”, every small victory is worth it on its own.
Their what?
Very expensive but possible… in 20 to 50 years… If most of the EU cooperates… So… No.
I’m on Lemmy due to principles but I am the kind of guy who will reject every single “legitimate interest” cookie consent, even if I have to click 300 times to do that… And even I went back to Reddit after my first encounter with Lemmy. The lack of content is a huge issue.
Decentralisation is an issue as well. Yes, it is here to solve problems, but it solves problems that big platforms face, but it creates a bunch of small problems that kill small platforms.
Most people don’t want to be forced to choose which one of the hundred providers they want to use, when they never heard about any of them, they have no idea what’s the difference and don’t care enough to learn… Shit, even I never cared to check what is the difference between Lemmy instances. And then you might have one community split between 10 instances… Each with one or two posts… And all long dead. Maybe one community with 10 times the user base could survive?

Love them or hate them
Or… Can we just don’t care about them? But if I am forced to choose, I would go with hate.
Ten brave warriors saving the USA from cheap labour!
What if the “laws aren’t the same” remark was about “you can’t transmit without a permit”? Not about the “you need license to listen”?
“Rico!”
“Kaboom?”
“Yes Rico, kaboom!”
I’m from Poland and didn’t think about it until I found that in the first part of The Witcher games, the game that is directed to adults, they had to develop a special versions for the USA. The version included full violence with decapitations and gore, but showing a woman’s nipple was too far so they had to censor it.
