@lauren You’re right to be sounding the alarm on this — it’s a big deal for privacy and control over our own devices. Have you ever listened to Rob Braxman (he’s known as the ‘Internet Privacy Guy’)? He’s been covering Google’s tightening grip on Android and sideloading for a while now. I think you’d appreciate his perspective — he breaks it down in a way that makes sense for both the technical and everyday user. Worth a listen if you haven’t run across him yet.
Bryan told me about a brand-new stoplight in front of the new Publix. My first thought?
It’s inevitable.
We live in a world where critical thinking is going extinct. Everything is designed for stimulus and response—green means go, red means stop, don’t ask questions.
When people stop thinking, systems take over.
That’s how everything gets dumbed down.
Maybe it’s just a traffic light… or maybe it’s a snapshot of our culture.
What do you think—are we training people to think less?
So this is Mastodon? No blue bird, no ads, no chaos? Just me and my words out here in the wild? I think I’m going to like it. 🐘✨
@jonny Apologies if I missed some of the finer points in the thread—I’m still new here and may not have reviewed every word. I really do appreciate your viewpoint and the importance of raising it. I see what you mean about narrative patterns shaping outputs. Guardrails aren’t perfect, but they’re improving with sandboxing and validation. Most importantly, humans are still the final filter. At least thus far....
I admire the fire in your writing—it’s clear you’re passionate. At the same time, this reads more like framed commentary than reporting. Balanced journalism sticks to facts, shows both sides, and lets readers decide. That’s where real trust is built.
@jonny Language models don’t get jealous or conspire—they just predict words. If one outputs a Shakespeare villain monologue, that’s not agency, that’s statistics. Tool use isn’t handing over the wheel, it’s more like giving autocorrect a calculator—with guardrails. Prompt injection is a security challenge, sure, but ‘the model takes vengeance’ is just narrative flair, not reality.
