Yes… Fascist Idiocracy be like it do.

Unironically, this argument is likely used by the same people who blame the president for gas prices.

It’s every billionaire and the corporations they own, and probably a majority of people with 50+ million. Basically the 0.01%.

They will use it as another excuse to damage education.

I understood that reference

100%. Half the time I get blocked due to VPN or whatever I just close the tab and go with my life. The rest of the time I try all known workarounds. If those fail, I just go with my life.

My hatred for monopolisation and enshittification is stronger than my desire to watch content on any platform.

Just like he did with the eggs!

I guarantee you none of your data is actually deleted. Experian is a surveillance capitalism data broker. They’re selling both the virus and the snake oil to “cure” it.

There are at least 70 million weapons-grade mentally-ill people in the USA, radicalized and stupified with decades of psychological warfare.

Have they removed that dogshit crypto they added a few years ago? Haven’t donated since.

Signal was never more than a stepping stone anyway. Centralised privacy services, that can be taken down by any government, are doomed to fail under surveillance capitalfascism.

Only for the paying customers, apparently. Crime pays, yarrr!

This is propaganda to make investors believe they’ve achieved intelligence, or are on the verge of it. It’s bullshit, and legally it should be considered securities fraud.

Of course it’s not crazy. The CEO went all in on being a fascist piece of shit, and brazenly open drug addiction, which has directly damaged the assets of all of his businesses, their customers assets, and the entire brands.

If, within the next 5 years, Elon isn’t billions in debt and destitute, that’s how you know we all live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as “democracies”.

Meanwhile I would argue that most efficiency gains from AI are outweighed by the cost of false positives wasting time and energy, learning prompt engineering, and other testing/fiddling adding overhead.

*Statistically guaranteed to happen

If their code isn’t open source, and your searches aren’t encrypted in such a way that their logging of them isn’t an option, why should you believe them? It’s not like there’s some precedence that corporations face any legitimate consequences for their crimes. Unless they steal from the wealthy, any consequences will be less than the profits from their crimes.

Yep. Save reason I won’t use Kagi and I don’t use AI much. Surveillance capitalism will only ever lead to authoritarianism and dystopia. I don’t want anything to do with it.

You can’t trust any company to not sell you out and pick your carcass clean.

Maybe our quality of life, livelihood, and retirements should not be bound to the success of for-profit corporations?

This is the greatest grift of all time. Binding the average citizen’s, and governmental, wealth to the success of private corporations means that the economic success of those corporations, and the oligarchs who own them, become equal to “national security”; thus they are violently protected by the state, even when their actions and success are the antithesis of democracy.

People need to start calling this what it is. Backdoor-ing encryption is backdoor-ing national security. It should be considered nothing less than treason to democracy…

But we don’t live in democracies. We live in corporate dictatorships masquerading as democracy, so these efforts to destroy our civil liberties make perfect sense.

Great news! All the high skilled service economy jobs will be outsourced to the developing world for slave wages and we will be incinerated to power AI art.
