  Terrible argument. You can’t ignore scale. Algorithmic timelines increase efficacy and precision of ads tremendously. These platforms know exactly who to target with what ad, at what time, with what frequency to get the desired result. It’s like comparing a horse and buggy to a sports car.

  Generative ads will be even worse because they can be made specifically to each individual.

  If the units are set to inches for length. You can just type G (grab), X (or Y or Z), and 1 to move an inch in any direction. I think it used to be worse.

  But without the plants and blue water.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GenAI website goes dark after explicit fakes exposed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a great point. Manufactured consent and all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GenAI website goes dark after explicit fakes exposed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Social media has been around a long time. It is not reasonable to expect people to think of technology they can’t imagine even existing ten years in the future when “consenting” to use a platform. Legally you are correct. Morally this is obviously terrible. Everything about how terms and conditions are communicated is designed to take advantage of people who won’t or are unable to parse its meaning. Consent needs to be informed.

  Only the real things are actual humans who have likely not consented to ever being in this database at all let alone having parts of their likeness being used for this horrific shit. There is no moral argument for this garbage:

  The real DNA negates a lot of that unfortunately. If any family member also used the service they can use that to triangulate your identity.

  Wow that’s naive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Justice Department asks judge to order Google the "immediate" sale of Chrome⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Google’s ad network and YouTube are pushing the agenda more than pretty much everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Tech Wants You Trapped. The Open Web Sets You Free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your proposal is equivalent to just letting bots completely control the internet. It kills it. We either want an internet or we don’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Tech Wants You Trapped. The Open Web Sets You Free⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That hasn’t been true for a long time. Filtering bots has increasingly become more difficult, expensive, and sophisticated. Not to mention that there are still plenty of state sponsored bad actors using real people and hybrid approaches.

  Examples? Not at all my experience. I love my Linux boxes but every MacBook I’ve owned has lasted 10 years and generally is quick until near the end of that period. My iPhone shave also all lasted longer than my Android phones with considerably more updates and security patches (supposedly this will be more on par now if Google doesn’t cancel yet another program).
