I’ve never actually seen an ad in Windows… Like, literally ever. The worst I’ve seen is Windows trying to trick me into making edge my default browser.
If I believed all the articles on Lemmy, every part of the OS now has embedded ads, and the OS itself is recording everything I ever do against my will and without my knowledge.
Can I worry about the fact the most serious AI’s are owned by large companies, and that they are being taught to replace artists, writers and creatives?
What a sad fucking dystopia we live in.
I wonder if many will even fight? If I were from North Korea, I’d consider surrender to be a godsend. They would do terrible things to the family members, though… I guess that’s the true cruelty of regimes like this. They punish the people you love.
These were obsolete the minute they were made, though… So it’s not really planned obsolescence. I got one for free (MacBook Air), and it’s always been trash.
Quantum mechanics would like a word…
If you pay for YouTube premium, you’re a clown and you’re only fueling the enshittification.
AI is going the same way as self-driving cars…
It has the power to bring such amazing change, but greed is poisoning the technology, and it’s being weaponized against the lower and middle class in disguising ways.
Shoutout to Elon for fucking up self driving cars by releasing cheap, imitation technology after his competitors spent literal decades carefully testing and perfecting genuine solutions.
Greed is why we can’t have nice things… Everyone should be angrier about this stuff.
This is when they all peaked, so it makes sense.
This may be true for AR, but it is emphatically not true for VR. There are dozens of amazing games that are extremely addictive and fun. Steam VR is no joke, it’s a very solid store these days.
Good. FUCK Adobe. I genuinely hope the entire company fails.
Republican debates in a nutshell.
I saw the meme as more this specific lesson (above) that he was on about.
I don’t know any single person I’m willing to listen to completely. People are flawed, ignorant, and often stupid.
Oh god, it’s threatening to kill all the polar bears… This got dark.
It’s funny how in all examples AI did it on accident.
In reality, it’s just humans destroying the planet in a relentless pursuit of over abundance. AI itself (which may some day become indistinguishable from a person) is actually blameless at this stage.
This has been the case for at least 11 years.
Yeah, there are some serious whackos on there. It’s a very vocal part of the population. I highly recommend folks try other instances if they aren’t hard-left.
How do you know how bad many of the people have it here? Also, in general, I reject the premise of your comment.
Just because people may be suffering more elsewhere, doesn’t mean we don’t have a right to be frustrated by our current systems. This is especially true in a society that allows absurdities like billionaires to exist.
I’d argue we peaked between 25 and 50 years ago, and now we’re sliding back down the hill.
Corrupt doesn’t even begin to describe it these days. They ruled recently that they are legally allowed to accept bribes, so long as the bribe comes after the decision is made.
The laws of the United States of America are literally for sale by conservative judges. This breach of justice is actively dismantling a cornerstone of our countries successful history.
Oh, the irony, that the “conservative” party is the one radically destroying the highest court in America. Their supporters can wave all the flags they want this week, but what they represent is actively destroying this country.
It’s FOR the people BY the people, not for the highest bidder. at least, that’s how it used to be before Trump’s presidency.
