Ah, the classic tale of the big, bad American tech giant throwing a temper tantrum over a paltry €14M fine. 😱 In a dramatic plot twist worthy of a daytime soap opera, #Cloudflare is bravely threatening to abandon the entire Italian peninsula. 🇮🇹 Because who needs pasta and art when you can have... err, American internet service? 🍝🖥️

Given the kerfuffle I'm causing over on Threads, I will admit I VASTLY OVERESTIMATE the intelligence of the average person. Like, they aren't even qualified to invalidate me. I expect far too much of people, I assume they are better and operating at a higher level than they actually are. I take them in good faith because I assume we're on an equal level of intellect and understanding. But trolls gonna troll. And they're mostly trolls.

“No one in this world, so far as I know—and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me—has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby. The mistake that is made always runs the other way. Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly.”
— H. L. Mencken; 1926 September 18, The Evening Sun, “As H. L. Sees It”

Questions for Cloudflare

Ah, another tech blogger who just discovered the concept of a single point of failure—groundbreaking! 🌐💥 Apparently, #Cloudflare is the new villain for taking "important" sites offline (translation: blogs with tens of monthly readers) 🕸️😂. Congratulations on mastering the art of stating the obvious! 🎓🎉

Redditors arguing about AI art like they’re war historians and not just two guys in their 30s yelling over Photoshopped owls. 🦉✨ What a day to be extremely online. #AIart #internetdrama

🤡 Ah yes, because what the internet really needed was another thrilling tale about respecting robot policies and setting user agents. 🎩🤖 Clearly, the pinnacle of human achievement: writing a riveting wiki page that nobody asked for! 🥱📄

My take on the #CCSignals thing:

The idea itself is sensible but @creativecommons is the wrong organisation to push it. This should have been part of an @ietf working group result. If industry pushback was to strong to get this in @creativecommons could have cried foul and people mad at it now would likely be on its site but creative commons already under threat of legitimacy due to AI shouldn't have been seen as cowtowing to said "industry".
