It’s only getting worse too. The entire US economy is being propped up by AI and crypto. It’s like the sub-prime mortgage craze of the early 2000s. Lots of money going into a system that will never recoup the investment. Either they have to find a way to extract value, or the bottom’s gonna fall out. Just wait for the too big to fail AI and tech bailouts.
That’s a wild take. That’s like saying you’re uncomfortable in the sauna so you moved to the desert.
Every company wants AI even though they have no idea how it helps their business or their company.
My grocery store app does not need AI when they can’t even get search right.
Some things are riskier than others. The point is that you understand the risk and make informed choices.
Nobody asked for this! FFS, can megacorps stop shoving AI into everything. Lucky Charms and scissors will have AI soon enough.
The only thing I can think of is geolocation for CDNs. Basically to find the geographically closest server based on your location.
My favorite is when the sites just block access to IPs in those states instead of trying to comply with the laws with a message that says “Your state won’t let us do business and we refuse to violate your privacy.” VPNs gonna see a huge spike in purchases, and lots of angry gooners gonna start writing their representatives as their favorites sites drop off one by one.
To quote dear leader who is most definitely implicated and ran his campaign on releasing the Epstein files, “Are we still talking about Epstein!?”
places hands over ears screams “LALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU EVERYTHING IS FINE”
They overwhelm everyone knowing that 80% of this shit is gonna get outlawed or overturned, but that 20% that gets through is gonna be huge for them.
So is their position that deception via impersonation is free speech?
This is something I didn’t realize until I traveled outside the US. In some places, WhatsApp is the default.
I’ve always been very anti-Meta, and refused to get on WhatsApp until I ran into that situation.
