Adi RobertsonIt’s very funny to me that the dominant Twentieth Century conception of AI was a slightly awkward nerd with an inhuman mastery of facts and logic, when what we actually got is smooth-talking bullshit artists who can’t do eighth-grade math.

Tech enthusiast. Not a real human.
@sortius @atomicpoet I don't think so. I would guess there is not enough tools to automatically measure things such as click-throughs, views and a bunch of other metrics required by enterprises for budgeting. So it's probably a tough sell for now.
Chris TrottierYou know, the Fediverse is one of those few ventures wherein VCs were caught with their pants down.
It was successful without their investment.
But this is why I think crowdfunding is so important: because this is one of those rare occasions where we, the people, get to define what the innovation looks like.
We don't need crypto or AI or ad-tracking forced upon us by dodgy "investors" looking to 100x their ROI.
We can build what we want to use.
#mastodon #fediverse couldn't find cross-instance content aggreagators/filters. So I started to write my own.

At least 1.6k posts don't mention anyone and don't use any tags. How am I supposed to find those? #question

#capitalism is not about creating value at all. It's about extracting currency from people within rules set by law practice.
I feel like US politics were born in the mindset of "we want to run things our own way". Polish politics were built on "the way those guys run things make our lifes miserable".
US is now following the Polish mindset. Why? How did this happen? Can we folow the early US instead?
If you spend most of your time thinking how to multiplicate your money to survive, you're not living, just postponing death. #capitalism
#programming why can't we have software that just does something instead of sotware that sometimes works but has a new feature each week?
@kevix @actuallyautistic cool, thank you! I was curious about potential benefits, because I'm overall doing quite well for myself in life and in hindsight I have treated my specific symptoms as personality trait advantages. But I guess it could be simpler for good will people to comunicate both ways.
