I still strongly believe that the long term impact of generative AI will not be the fifth Industrial Revolution or AI cyber mega war.. but just mass copyright and intellectual property theft to breed fake temporary wealth.

Today’s politicians will be board advisors in 2 years for failed AI companies with $420 share prices.

@GossiTheDog @bfdi Wie häufig darf eine Firma einen eigentlich dazu nötigen einen Opt-Out wieder und wieder für genau das gleiche zu erklären?

In einer Beziehung würde man das schon als Redflag sehen...

@GossiTheDog

Another opt-out? Haven't you already opted out?

"We've had one opt-out yes. But its time for second opt-out."

"Merry, I don't think they've heard about second opt-out."

"But.. but, what about ElevensGDPR?"

@GossiTheDog I've completely abandoned all of their services.

Ironically, I embrace ChatGPT fully. I will do so until they demonstrate adequate malevolence. Yet there seems to be some evidence of this already insofar as how they cleaned their training data sets.

@GossiTheDog

My previous opt-out was permanent - I deleted my accounts.

@GossiTheDog

this should be adjudicated.

@GossiTheDog Thanks. I did that, and got a message: "We will honour your objection

"This means that your request will be applied from now on for developing and improving AI at Meta. We'll send you an email with details."

Still looks like doublespeak to me! Happily the email they sent is clearer.

@GossiTheDog so uh, why do we believe that 'opting out' will make any difference what-so-ever?

All these shiny buttons we can press, saying 'privacy' on them. And we're banging away like monkeys, not grasping that the folks who built the machine with the buttons on it see us as... their monkeys.

@GossiTheDog

I opted out of Meta forever a few years back. I can't say I miss it.

At first, it was difficult being cut off from my friends. But I've since made new friends, and I'm okay.

@GossiTheDog clearly, there's never been a better time to just delete meta property accounts. I did it a month ago, and while I had no choice but to set some long distance friendships on fire at the same time, I wasn't going to be held to ransom by the fascist plasticine android any more.

I do keep finding myself going to open FB/IG which is really kind of jarring to have unavoidably discovered how much of a reflex it had become to any indecision about what to do for the next 60s.
