I know I'm late to resharing @Ludic 🧛 's AI hypecycle/bubble busting rant. It's just so damn good that I had to share it again anyway. #ai #rant #BigTechShouldNotExist #LateStageCapitalism #TechCulture

Facebook has rolled out the Threads API inviting anyone and everyone to write apps around it. How exciting! Imagine all the cool things you can do. Don't worry about a rug pull later. Nope. Big tech has never and will never do that! /sarcasm #rant #threads #Facebook #BigTechShouldNotExist
My experience had been that I get suggested right wing content and fed right wing ads most of the time despite my viewing history and ad grading would be the exact opposite of that. Glad to see it quantified. Disappointed it's true. Not surprised at all. It's all about keeping the money rolling in. #BigTechShouldNotExist #rant #uspoli
YouTube’s algorithm recommends users right-wing and religious content, research finds
I trust Apple more than any other big tech company. I still don't trust them on this. Sorry. If I can't turn off call back to the cloud on your AI crap I don't want your products. It's easy enough to ditch it for desktop/laptop but god help me if I can't shut it down on mobile because the alternatives are way worse. #apple #BigTechShouldNotExist #rant
Apple’s AI promise: “Your data is never stored or made accessible to Apple”
I mean that's great that they agree to this but they already have pursued AI with reckless abandon and see zero signs of changing that. I'm thinking this is going to be more like Climate Change agreements: not good for more than wiping your ass with it. #ai #BigTechShouldNotExist https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-openai-google-and-other-major-companies-reach-ai-safety-agreement/
...with my luck I'll go through all the brain damage of switching back to Garmin, since there is no decent FOSS fitness tracking hardware, get everything wired up in a de-Googled Android OS (assuming Health services work at all there), and a week later Garmin will get bought by Apple or Google and I'll be equally fucked with all my data going to the same goddamn place. #rant #BigTechShouldNotExist #foss
If Apple starts sending all my fucking search, messages, photos, files, etc. data to Google or OpenAI I'm done with them. They are my compromise platform because I hate adding to the Google/Facebook style data reseller big tech data lakes. I honestly don't know what the alternative will be at that point besides having to hobble my experience with /e/os, LineageOS, whatever, self hosting services, etc. and try to figure out a work around for banking apps. Motherfuckers! This is so enraging. I have a feeling I better start getting my ducks in a row to depart their ecosystem sooner rather than later. #rant #apple #ai #enshitification #BigTechShouldNotExist https://www.macrumors.com/2024/04/26/apple-open-ai-ios-18-talks/
Trump suspensions lifted on Facebook and Instagram. Because of course. Gotta get the engagement up to drive up revenue even if it fucks over the foundation of society and the planet. “New guardrails” is BS too. These Silicon Valley techbro billionaires and their lackeys and sycophants can all go fuck themselves. #trump #facebook #instagram #BillionairesShouldNotExist #DeleteTwitter #DeleteFacebook #BigTechShouldNotExist https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/facebook-instagram-end-trumps-suspension-platforms-rcna67524
