I did ask for more info about how AI is "destroying society".
Interesting how Americans are the most concerned. I wonder what might explain that. In the US, white people are the most worried (IIRC).
Which raises 2 questions: Were they anti-slop because they saw the threat to their jobs? Or did they lose their jobs because they wouldn't match the output of AI users?
I agree. Now note how far away from AI this is.
Those issues are something that societies and democratically elected representatives should work out; not some billionaires. The problem seems to be that some people with a good thing going don't want something that benefits them personally. They prefer no change over something that benefits everyone (but them relatively less).
That's 1 company, not AI as a whole, and its services are obviously much in demand by our democratically elected leaders.
I simply don't know what you mean at all.
it is actively trying to destroy society,
How so?
For many people, especially politicians, it was always about this. It's a rejection of the unregulated "wild west" internet, built on US ideals of free speech.
Germany used to have a fairly successful Facebook clone. Once it was a bit successful, it was forced to split up. Minors had to get their own separate service, where they could not be contacted by adults. It wasn't a hit. The "American technological hegemony" is the result of deliberate policy choices such as that.
Demanding age verification of websites and services is Europe sticking to its guns; European values.
Yes. I hesitated to post this because I understand that many here would prefer not to know. But, at least, people need a chance to learn the facts and make their own decisions. The amount of anti-AI disinformation is crazy.
I think most people won't be worrying about their own headphones.
Man merkt, die Leute bei W Social haben beste Kontakte zu den Medien. Ich glaube, Medienunternehmen sind finanziell involviert.
Wer eine europäische Anbindung zu Bluesky/Atproto will, kann sich jetzt schon an Eurosky wenden. W Social ist bisher nicht public. Das Einzige, was die als Qualitätsmerkmal anbieten ist, dass sie die Identität überprüfen.
Es macht mir Sorgen, dass hier der Prototyp von rundum überwachten Social Media aufgebaut wird, während gleichzeitig eine Kampagne läuft, alles andere zu verbieten.
