I’m well aware he’s not CEO but… come on. He set up the company, the dynamics, etc. Amazon is still all about doing everything they can to break up unions, he still gets most of his wealth from Amazon, Amazon will still give up Ring camera data to police departments, etc etc. COME ON.

A new company will pop up to replace Flock. Amazon will gladly work with them next, assuming Flock doesn’t go under. Do not be fooled, Jeff Bozo is an evil man

The problem here is that no one that makes these LLM/AI/whatever are doing ENOUGH DUE DILIGENCE to make sure the data that they’re scrapping is good and accurate to improve the AI’s output. This has been an issue since the beginning and with how much data they’re taking, there’s no good way to get it to 100% accurate. And there was a study put out last year that said it doesn’t take much bad info to poison the AI output. And this is the stuff that these big tech companies are trying to force us all to use in our day-to-day. ALSO YEAH it is Google’s fault because it’s their dog. Their dog is taking the data without understanding WHAT the data they’re taking is, they trained the dog, they have the responsibility for what the dog does out on the internet. It the dog is leading people off a cliff, that’s on Google.

This is problematic because anything on your web pages might now influence unrelated answers. You could have outdated information on some forgotten page, or contradictory details across different sections. Google’s AI might grab any of this and present it as the answer. If you allow user-generated content anywhere on your site (like forum posts or comments), someone could post fake support contact info, and Google might surface that to users searching for how to contact your company. Now scammers have a direct route to your customers.

OH FUUUUUUN

So I kinda walked away from this to think about what’s being said a bit and I just kinda have to disagree? Like, being clear and concise and accurate in defining something is hella important… to the people that care about those things. The thing we see though isn’t lacking definitions, especially in a legal sense, but people not pushing back enough whenever bad actors start bringing up terrible arguments. There are people out there that you can bring up the best, most logical points in the world and they will still twist and twist and twist until your original point is lost. We can make the most robust, perfect definitions and some people will STILL either find ways around it or completely ignore what was rationally established. The definition doesn’t matter, the problem is fascists want to monitor the world and make whoever they want disappear and people kinda just let it happen.

And to be clear, I’m trying to say you’re completely wrong. Defining things is important to establish a shared common framework of understanding and policy making and regulations are SO SO SO IMPORTANT cause they save lives in more than just one way, but problem isn’t clear cut to be solved with “we need to define things better.” We have a culture issue. Culture issues need more than one approach to resolve.

Good for you, honestly. But not the point I’m trying to make at all.

What I’m saying isn’t that you should or shouldn’t delete social media accounts. What I’m saying is that eventually they’re all going to HAVE to do it to be able to operate within certain countries. The account deletion/boycott/etc isn’t enough, you have to go after the political leaders that are FORCING companies into these deals cause governments are GOING to continue to go after companies to force the whole of the internet into surveilling users. Policy and laws need to be changed. The work HAS to be done.

People need to realize that this isn’t JUST a Discord issue. This is a policy issue AS WELL. Fucking pay attention to the politics around you. And this isn’t just a United States issue as well.

Per the article

Littler said on the morning of 10 January his partner had asked her father during the Trump row: “How would you feel if I was the girl in that situation and I’d been sexually assaulted?” Kris Harrison had replied that he had two other daughters who lived with him so it would not upset him that much.

At this point, I would also second MacOS/iOS just because of how much the two synergize with one another. But if you’re just doing basic shit and web browsing, iOS cause at least you can hold onto your phone for a long while before feeling the need to upgrade again.

Until something actually happens, this is nothing. We’re very long past the point of words and outrage being effective. Until people GO TO JAIL, all of this is roleplay.

FUCK this got me lol

Naw, Hollywood Reporter person (not OP the person who wrote the article). I don’t even care to click through to see your name cause the fascist shit isn’t even WORTH the work you put into writing your experience up.

Thoughts and prayers to all those bands effected

HEY! What’s up with this website’s data collection/cookie prompt? Feels like they made it hella confusing on purpose. If I’m “opted out” does that mean out of wanting to not have my data collected or does that mean a reconfirmation that I don’t want my data collected?

They will be… to brown and black people all over the world. Same as they always have been.

We don’t deserve the minimum level of respect anymore. Fuck us.
