¿Por qué no los dos? I’m not confused.

I know, right? It’s almost like communism is a good idea or something.

2001: a space odyssey but the monolith is just bait to lure billionaires into suicide pods. Somebody make this happen!

At least move those microwave ovens, refrigerators and colour tee-vees to earn your wage.

Let’s define “stealing” and “business” here.

1. Influencers don’t produce anything, nor do they add intrinsic value to products they promote. Not much business to that if you ask me.

2. They do already compete fiercely for brands’ atention so every successful influencer by definition has “stolen” potential income from others.

If you want to split hairs, influencers’ work is creating an idealised image that they project to peddle products. If AI can outmatch them in that regard, I see no problem with that.

Its about outmaneuvering smaller competitors and controlling the marketplace

Work on your reading retention instead of plastering your one-note hot take all over the convo. This exchange is over.

Sure, ignore my actual point. This is getting monotonous; enjoy Threads.

I was going to reply but you nailed it. Its about outmaneuvering smaller competitors and controlling the marketplace, and then harvesting user data for profit.

You’re downplaying your own part, in between those two statements.

Internet rando: “I choose to enable this corporate, repeat privacy offender in strongarming its way into the open, federated web”

Edit: spelling

I will say that I find good advice on tech subreddits now and then, as good as or better than, say, support forums. That’s off the divisive and rapid-change subjects that mostly characterise Reddit and Lemmy, of course.

Sure, if that’s your only concern — and disregarding that it’s a minority who would likely have the time, diligence and knowhow to actually confirm that you’re right — but Meta’s interest in directly leaked or scraped data is probably secondary to embrace-extend-extinguish alternatives to their services. Discourse doesn’t exactly have that motive.

The same technical thing, yes. The key difference really is whether or not a notoriously exploitative corporation is behind.

The sinful tools with occult names work. I think that should be a big pointer here.
