There is (I assure you there will be, don’t know what it is yet…) a price to be paid for this convenience.

Exactly prologic, and that’s why I’m negative about these sorts of things. I’m almost 50, I’ve been around this tech hype cycle a bunch of times. Look at what happened with Facebook. When it first appeared, people loved it and signed up and shared incredibly detailed information about themselves on it. Facebook made it very easy and convenient for almost anyone, even people who had limited understanding of the internet or computers, to get connected with their friends and family. And now here we are today, where 80% of people in surveys say they don’t trust Facebook with their private data, where they think Facebook commits crimes and should be broken up or at least taken to task in a big way, etc etc etc. Facebook has been fined many billions of dollars and faces endless federal lawsuits in the US alone for its horrible practices. Yet Facebook is still exploitative. It’s a societal cancer.

All signs suggest this generative AI stuff is going to go exactly the same way. That is the inevitable course of these things in the present climate, because the tech sector is largely run by sociopathic billionaires, because the tech sector is not regulated in any meaningful way, and because the tech press / tech media has no scruples. Some new tech thing generates hype, people get excited and sign up to use it, then when the people who own the tech think they have a critical mass of users, they clamp everything down and start doing whatever it is they wanted to do from the start. They’ll break laws, steal your shit, cause mass suffering, who knows what. They won’t stop until they are stopped by mass protest from us, and the government action that follows.

That’s a huge price to pay for a little bit of convenience, a price we pay and continue to pay for decades. We all know better by now. Why do we keep doing this to ourselves? It doesn’t make sense. It’s insane.

Les narratifs se cachent pour mourir
À peine palpable il y a plus d’un an, le malaise de la presse prend maintenant une tournure aussi consternante que visible : si le double-salto arrière carpé rhétorique et le rétropédalage en mode furtif étaient des disciplines sportives, les journalistes des médias de grand chemin pourraient tenter la médaille olympique à mesure que leurs narratifs […] ⌘ Read more

Cinéma français : le syndrome Pourrix et Obésix s’étend
Après un battage médiatique particulièrement omniprésent sur tous les canaux de communication possibles en France, “Astérix et l’Empire du Milieu”, le dernier film de Guillaume Canet, est sorti et le moins qu’on puisse dire est qu’il fait parler de lui. Pas forcément en bien… Avec la multiplication des publicités dans tous les médias, l’entretien des […] ⌘ Read more

Ce “complot” qui a eu lieu
Avec les #TwittersFiles, ces révélations en chaîne parues sur le réseau social de Musk, il devient évident que sont maintenant avérées ces théories poussées par ce que les médias appellent encore des “complotistes”, et petit à petit, on se rend compte qu’il existe bien un mouvement global, décidé par une petite élite, qui vise à […] ⌘ Read more
