Except the site exists because of 3rd party apps, their own app started as a 3rd party that they bought to bring in house.

Boy the slope on fast food workers has turned into a cliff I guess. From Nobodies to Heros to Lazy Teens Who Don't Need A Raise to Robots in like 5 years?

If it was that easy to kill Linux it would have happened already. Chad Linux, open source free software, withstanding the full might of the multi billion dollar juggernaut Microsoft.

Uh oh not an AgEnDa! Because no one on Facebook/Nextdoor has an agenda, they're definitely not regurgitating the newspapers agenda at all either.

Sure but I want to imagine that some people are only playing Game A and others are only playing Game B, unaware of the relation between them that creates positive outcomes by sometimes losing in one game or the other.

You should look into https://small-tech.org/. I don't know if they're still active (I discovered them a few months ago, and they seemed active.) But they definitely have a similar point of view.

Homie, Bard from Google is trained on your Google Emails. They read your emails and build data profiles based on that shit and sell it. What are you on exactly? The US Government is more of a direct threat to you and me than the CCP and they actively buy your data and were reading all your emails not too long ago.

I think people can't believe it's really as simple as it is. If it's that simple, then there is no sacred knowledge, nothing to gatekeep, nothing to be the "expert" on. It means there are no novel methods or processes to discover. There is nothing to "learn" other than the syntax and a large enough vocabulary to describe what you're imagining.

There are prompt books and prompt sites where you can buy them a dollar at a time. The hustle culture has built this fog of fake complexity and hidden methods in order to prop up their little cottage industry. Every AI Guy on TikTok has a way to "maximize your productivity with GPT" so you can "Start an AI company".

We haven't sucked the joy out of creating things, we've just tried to further commodify the process of creating and in turn spun a web of myths and lore where there didn't need to be any.

I wonder how long it will be until people's baseline assumption is that their shit is being used in this way... I genuinely don't understand how it isn't already.
