How wonderful to go to the local shop a little past noon on 1st January and see the shelves full of chocolate Easter Eggs. Warms me to the cockles of my heart. /s

"Their fantasy relies on the consolidation of energy and AI infrastructure, and their ability to isolate places from history, regulation, and the needs of ordinary people—in other words, their ability to thwart democracy." #VultureCapitalism #BigTechShouldNotExist #rant techpolicy.press/why-are-tech-…

The epidemic of ad-dense content mill sites that's been gunking up the internet with crap years was bad. Has me going to hand selected sites and Wikipedia. The AI generated content is only at best as "good" but with orders of magnitude more volume so the signal to noise ratio of all social media, the web, etc. will probably get to completely unusable levels. I long ago quickly punted from content mill site. I get the first hint of LLM regurgitated garbage and I do the same. These bots will fill up social networks, probably even the fediverse too. Outside the fediverse the less monetization and conversion the harder the vulture capitalists will push us, just as they have with ads to the point of requiring ad blockers. But at that point we will be blocking the whole web. The questions I have are: how will we find the real content, where will it be built and hosted, how will the creators be able to make a living out of it when the big tech companies and vulture capitalists will try to strangle them out? #ai #rant #VultureCapitalism
