it’s literally just mechanical looms all over again, this shit happens over and over and over and at no point do people learn that this will continue as long as we allow capitalism to persist.
the most fucked up part about this is that it’s not like regular people account for more than a fraction of the AI usage, most of it is just other companies using it to replace workers or just… paying for AI usage instead of fucking paying a stock photo company instead…
i hate corporations i hate corporations i hate corporations
and this is why i get so tired of people saying it’s bad to have a big instance like mastodon.social, like bro do you fucking want the platform to be successful or not? it seems like people just want a small isolated place to circlejerk each other rather than something globally useful.
i have to wonder if banks actively don’t want us to use them
that was one example of where they are used lol
this is such a nonsense argument, people navigate email just fine despite every single platform sending emails from their own domain.
POLICE, HE RELEASED HIS SOFTWARE FREE FOR ANYONE TO USE, SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT
exposure to the weather helps a lot, means it’s been baked in the sun from time to time and detritivores have had a chance to clean it up a bit
i agree, it’s time to let the next generation take over, grandpa
the irony of their post is absolutely off the charts lmao
it’s part of the appeal for me, it’s nice when things are fun
yeah sure, “cuter”, definitely nothing to do with “toot” being slang for “small fart”.
that still feels like a massive insult to tony stark, like stark did quite specifically save the universe didn’t he? pretty sure he’s supposed to be the quintessential hero who is very much imperfect but still ultimatly does good.
i don’t get why they’d do stuff like that in general, you just… don’t fucking refer to living people in media that’s set in the future lol, precisely for this reason!
it’s also kind of cringey to talking about currently living people because it feels like such a cheap grab at being relatable, “ooooo we’re talking about [person who is currently popular], that’s right, someone from your specific time period is relevant in the future!”
the one way you can do it in a decent way is to have it be an offhand remark, and even then you better be quite certain that they’re not going to suddenly start lighting orphanages on fire 5 years after everyone’s seen your production.
as silly as it sounds stuff like this is what prevented me from ever clicking with pokemon, even as a kid.
like sure this all seems kinda fun, and was perfectly fine for something on the fucking gameboy, but then it never really gained any depth?
Then you have the anime, which i actually kinda enjoyed because it had depth to it, they actually explored how things would work instead of it all just being set dressing for a dog fighting game.
maybe they just die emotionally
how much of the budget can a mastodon instance even take? like yeah sure don’t invest more into it but surely they could just leave it as a place for official fediverse accounts for their various projects?
