The one bright spot of LLMs is that we've learned exactly how morally and creatively bankrupt this industry is, and how fast people are willing to throw away everything they said they cared about for decades - craft, understanding, efficiency, detail, all of it - just to cosplay competence and bandwagon their way to groupthink targets they don't even realize were made up to manipulate them.
Christ it's embarassing.

Weโre rewriting the rules of doing business in Europe.
The last time we did this? 2004. Before the iPhone. Before the green transition.
Weโre modernising the EU Merger Guidelines to reflect transformational changes in the economy.
This is a once-in-a-generation moment.
If youโre a consumer, run a business or invest in the future, these rules will define the price you pay, the tech you use and the markets you work for the next 20 years.

#WSocial will open up their beta program todayโฆ and I have a SCOOP for you: it appears that they have quietly gone closed-source!
This is ironic, considering that the @EUCommission just unveiled their Tech Sovereignty Package, emphasizing the importance of #OpenSource. And yet they have migrated their main ATproto accounts to W Social - whose code can no longer be inspected!
My full article - with a great analysis by @aral:

European public institutions are betting big on digital sovereignty and open source software. And yet they recently moved their Bluesky accounts to W Social, a private, for profit network owned by Swedish entrepreneurs that has quietly gone closed-source.
โ ๏ธ The FSFE has submitted its position to the @EUCommission's Android interoperability consultation under the #DMA

"we need to know your age" no you don't
You already know my habits, my marital status, my job and future prospects, how many kids I have (or want), where I live, who I live with, who I live around, who my parents are, how much money I make, how much money my parents made, what kind of car I drive (or don't), what food I buy at the store, how long I've had my bank account, what kind of computers I've used, what books I read, what kind of laundry detergent I buy, what my favorite color is, who my favorite artist is, what my favorite show is, and what my favorite historical period is.
You don't need my age, you took everything else.
I'm building a new habit here on Mastodon: instead of liking, I try to reply to at least 3 posts, especially on those that don't have comments yet and I love it.
It's so much more personal!
