Luddites’ main concern was the systemic redirection of revenue from them, the laborers, to the owners of the factories. They did not simply hate technology for technology’s sake.

The fact that you ignore this basic historical fact betrays an embarrassing ignorance.

I personally don’t give a shit if some AI is used in research. I think that’s awesome. But AI also actively and materially deprives laborers of compensation for their work, both before and after the model training process. And I fucking hate that.

im confused are you trying to indicate it doesn’t work? it functions as reported for me

it’s marketing research analyzing human behavior. your comment is wrong and the article certainly has meaning.

Yes and it should be worse. OpenAI should be forced to take on the cost of compensating every copyright holder it exploited. If that means OpenAI doesn’t exist I’m absolutely okay with that.

SodaStream is a target of the pro-Palestine BDS movement.

Zionists, like the freaks they are, say that being pro-Palestine is equivalent to antisemitism. Presumably that comment refers to Zionists who view buying a SodaStream as a badge of honor or act of nobility, though I personally haven’t seen anyone say that outright.

please give me the lobbing machine 🙏

“lobbing”

is this a trusted outlet? at least we can be pretty sure a human wrote it ha ha ha

more than half of visitors leave a page if they’re forced to wait longer than 3 seconds

and it’s not outlandish to suggest that length decreases every year.

Agree to all, but just to add clarity, there is existing Mandarin LGBT content that was posted prior to the US influx. If there is moderation of queer voices going on, it’s a a similar level to what we are already familiar with from Meta and TikTok, not significantly more.

I sacrificed my soul to go over and check it out, immediately followed a bunch of LGBT creators of both US and Chinese locale. Nothing I followed or liked seems to have been removed yet, so just giving my two honest cents on that. The stuff that gets removed appears to be mainly Chinese politics and that’s it.

Is it the perfect protest solution? Naw.

Is it better than Musk and Zuckerberg getting a shit ton of free revenue from their corruption? Yea.

Is it funny as fuck? YUPP LMAO

i agree (and this comment here)

me, here take your own hehe

i see this a lot but this is a misconception. “threadiverse” originally was a term to describe the “threaded fediverse” i.e. Reddit-like platforms like Lemmy and kbin. Bluesky and Threads are not threadiverse because they operate on the microblog model not the threaded link aggregation model. this usage has nothing to do with the then non-fediverse related Meta project “Threads” and can be seen predating it.

Road rage exists but I’ve never seen people intentionally ram each other on the streets.

I have. :( It’s terrifying.

and then read the comment you are trashing on. :) sounds like we agree and you got violent and rude

ok buddy

The default behavior of any social media platform is to allow people to say anything they want.

False, moderation has existed since literally the beginning.
