@aaronpk Apple does not fuck around when it comes to understanding their users.
āBut AI is cheap!ā
Itās not, it has horrendous hardware, server housing and water and power requirements; itās just that VCs are financing it now so you get in on the hype and later they will charge you rent and it will cost you way moreāwith inferior resultsāthan, you know, hiring the writers and artists itās stealing from, but those will be gone by then.
@aaronpk Interesting idea. I tend to ebb and flow as to whether I do any "work" on weekends, or at least the depth of work. Example: probably working tomorrow, probably snowshoeing Monday. But 10/4 is definitely food for thought.

If there was ever a moment when the obvious, catastrophic, imminent risk of trusting Big Tech intermediaries to sit between you and your customers or audience, it was now.

Please stop laughing at CatGPT. Please stop sharing this picture. It's not funny. This is a slippery slope. It might only meow for now, but what's next? What will our cats do if CatGPT takes their jobs? Do we really want artificial intelligence to sleep all day? To scoff at the $50 worth of cat food you just purchased? To knock your full glass of water over and feel zero remorse when it shatters on the floor? Call me a Luddite, but I believe we must destroy CatGPT to protect our feline friends.
I have so far seen no compelling arguments for why a bridge is fundamentally different from any other instance, and instance federation is opt-out by design.
If an instance is too big, block it. If itās too unmoderated, block it. If you donāt approve of its implementation, block it. If you donāt like it, block it.
Itās pretty core to how the Fediverse works.
No one opted-in to interact with abyssdomain.expert.
