The entire technology sector raises privacy concerns.

We really need a thorough and enforceable bill of rights when it comes to privacy.

Protect yourself... State ain't protecting anybody, the state is colluding with corpos on this BTW

The state IS the corpos. We don't have democracies. We have corporate plutocracies — where the Venn diagram between the most powerful individuals and corporations is basically a circle.

Money is more than just speech. Money is votes, and the more money you have, the more votes you have... and all of those "votes" go to pre-vetting, pre-selecting, pre-approving, financing, and promoting the names that appear on your ballot, as well as all the bills they vote on.

You are not wrong but mixing them as "the same guy" loses nuances that each play within the ruling regime.

If we really gonna start naming then we should naming owners of corporations though, not their lap dog politcians and career government monkeys.

Imagine be ready to enter a meeting , and sudently the presenter appears just like the image. Scary as fuck

…and it opens its mouth , the sound of a 56k modem connecting screams forth at ear piercing volume. With this It scans the brainwaves of the helpless victims in the room , desperately looking for yet more free information to consume, with which to maintain itself in its dying weeks of this cursed hype cycle from which it emerged. “Please subscribe”, it then pleads.

Beautifully. It reminds me of No-Face from Spirited Away

How about no more data and the great Sam Altman can use his genius to develop a much more efficient AI first. Or admit they basically lucked into a working model and he's out of ideas now.

Finally a normal picture of Sam Altman where he doesn’t look like a creepy goon with evil intent.

Ha ha ha nah just joshin’.
