@david @nixCraft I am not sure that 'time spent on a page' is a useful metric in that context, given AI can consume in half a second what would take you 10min to read. If more than 50% of activity, incl. generative, is done by AI, you cannot keep believing that the internet will remain a place accessible to users. It will exclusively serve the interests of the bots, or rather, bots owners, a proper #feudal or #colonisation model, at a scale never seen before.

My 2ct: Wenn #Palantir CEO Alex #Karp fabuliert

➡️ „Silicon Valley ist vom Weg abgekommen“

dann muss man das als Re-Framing & Manipulation des Demokratie-Begriffs verstehen:

Die #USA haben sich nach dem 2. Weltkrieg immer als globalen Hegemon gesehen und "Freiheit" stets als "Ihre Freiheit"!

Im unipolaren Moment 1991 - 2017 wurde das pathologisch und im Valley wird nun aus "#neoliberal #feudal" eben "#autokratisch #faschistisch".

Shikizan Castle, Japan, 1550 AD (Peter Dennis)

people like him are saying the same thing of the US government.; and they are making progress at destroying the democracy. most from folks who own corporation that are bigger (more money and lawyers) than countries and themselves too good to be regulated by a common people's #democratic government.

The #conservative people around the world all have the same goal. bring back the age of the #aristocracy and #feudal system of government. see 1390's for reference.

Model of a feudal Japanese castle town

#Authoritarians understand the disruptive importance of social platforms, which is why the #Trump administration pushes back on EU regulation. We have to stand up for our values and our way of life as the big tech bros just want to push autoritarianism - it makes them and their cronies rich and the rest poor. If you wonder what such a #feudal #kleptocracy looks like, modern day Russia, Hungary or the ancient Versailles regime under the sun king are great examples.

Exclusive: Alexander Stubb says a plausible deterrent and ‘American backstop’ are needed in the event of a future peace deal

The Guardian
Lese gerade über einen exzentrischen, absolutistisch wütenden Abt, der im #Barock in meiner Gegend sein Unwesen getrieben hat, und denke, dieses ganze #adel ige #klerikal #feudal e Pack - es ist im Grunde immer gleich, bis heute, und bildet sich ein, allgemein gültige und für die Gemeinschaft verpflichtende Kultur zu sein. Man sollte sie zu den Städten und Dörfern hinaustreiben. Sollen sie sehen, was von ihrer scheiß#Kultur übrigbleibt, wenn sie sie nicht mehr der Allgemeinheit abpressen können

Anyone here knowing their stuff about #Haiku ?

I am looking for historical but funny/weird Haiku.
None of the 21st century something about resisting chocolate or cat on a keyboard stuff.

I want to have a collection of Haiku where people already hundreds of years ago distilled the pain of life in a funny Haiku, from #feudal #Japan 🤗
