  • Mastodon’s founder cedes control, refuses to become next Musk or Zuckerberg

  • Can anyone savvy to the nuance here please let me know how this is any different from Altman and ChatGPT?

    As o followed along lightly, my read was that they used non-profit foundation structure to win public trust and calm initial opposition to them creating an unethical product that will ultimately destroy us all and then they fired all the people focused on ethics and codified the non-profit status.

    Is this meaningfully different, or likely a similar tactic?

  • Why did Mark Zuckerberg end Facebook and Instagram’s factchecking program?

  • Cowardice and boredom.

    He's likely completed his Hawaiian bunker fortress and, like a cop with a cold gun on his hip, reminding him everyday that he isn't using it, he wants to start some shit so he can (he hopes) feel something. Similar to how the Christians want the end of the world, because their lives are empty and they want to see if they were right about the existence of a god. They'd end us all in a moment to satisfy their own selfish impulses

    We've failed completely, our kids will grow up to hate us for the completely broken world they will inherit. It's the boomers fault, Gen X shut down selfishly and literally skated on the apathy wave and the remnants of a working infrastructure, millenials sincerely tried while leading empty, hollow lives in studio apartments with roommates and the iPad kids were the first raised from birth in the height of the boomer's soup, soaked in festering death and feces. The end.

    Bye bye, shitheads.

  • I didn't say they did, I said what the intention was. It's all burning to the ground anyway, so who gives a shit. Democracy is over. We're going to now start living "first they came for..." from a first person POV.

  • The point of those things is that by doing that, he'll more directly impact his own supporters who likely vary the maturity of that debt in the gimme gimme red states that take a lot more than they contribute while complaining about nebulous "handouts" that really piss them off

  • "Is it Apple though, probably not..."

    Can I ask, why are you so ready to performatively forgive them here? Apple is not your friend, Apple and Tim lined up to donate the million like the rest of those greedy, transactional cowards.

    Apple doesn't "do" it per se, instead Apple shares certain data with third party partners for the purposes of "improving your product experience" the data is then laundered 17 times through middle layers and added to a shared digital fingerprint of you and your household's web of connected devices. You and your family are then sold on a marketplace as advertising targets actively interested in X category or product (Apple is also subsequently a customer in that marketplace). You then either receive that advertising or your family is targeted with it so that they can then casually mention the product back to you (company knowing you were already interested) so it feels organic and "I was just thinking the same thing!" and boom, you're buying that new set of pots and pans.

    We're already living in the matrix, you're just a little drone being pinged around according to other people's will, to support the pursuit of endless growth. So yes, in a way companies are spying on you... After you've given them individual permissions to access your microphone and permission to share "certain data" about you with third parties, in a carefully orchestrated dance - so that they have plausible deniability and so you don't have to threaten your parasocial relationship with their brand and can continue saying "probably not Apple though..."

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund

    Jump

  • These CEOs are funding hate, violence and the end of American democracy - they have enough power, money and influence to oppose, yet they don't. They decided that a few must be sacrificed for the greater good profit.

    Something happened on the 4th of December. Today is the 4th of January. Just in case anyone's calendar app is stuck closed. Interesting if true...
