I fully believe we lost the Internet due to content creators. Once PewDiePie made that first million it was all over. That moment is the point in our timeline where we veered into a very dark timeline instead of the good one. The other point was the Hanging Chad

Don’t care, of all the problems in the world. You’re all making shit up to be mad about. Everybody gave their stuff up with or without AI. People were always scraping data and allowing it to be locked awa. Information brokers are not new. They have always sold our data. Nothing has changed.

I’m not bending over backwards to give a shit for people who have slept to the point that we arrived here with these issues, and now that we finally have something cool they’re up in arms because they think their stupid Garfield knockoff comic is the core competent to making AI powerfully profitable. I’d all for removing every content creator from the Internet. Scrub the whole fucking thing. They’re parasites

They’re the same people posting articles saying how bad AI is while everybody else has fun using it

Same energy as Republican memes

It looks like they put a license of use on their comment

What is that hyperlink?

I swear to God if it is what I think it is, I’m going to jump into fucking traffic carrying as many baby ducks as I can.

I blame content creators. The minute PewDiePie made a million, it was game over. There should’ve been a unified front from the start to reject the PewDiePie model. We didn’t see it for what it really was. The internet was always going to get taken over by profit-driven motives. The only way to stop that would’ve been making the internet a hostile place for people chasing profits.

Think about the timeline. Profit focus leads to ads and data collection. That leads to political groups using that data to run research and push propaganda. Corporations are gonna do what they do. Blame isn’t a light switch—it’s a pie chart. And if we don’t start naming the villain, we’re going to lose the next space too. Whatever space we think is ours. We have to stay sharp when the profit seekers show up, even if it’s just some cool comic book guy trying to sell a few books. They all end up in the same place.

Any space created by hackers and nerds should create a new religion of sorts with principals and values to prevent another take over of whatever space they create in the future.

I was just thinking how much we’ve lost. Each generation grows up with this stuff being normalized by people saying “it’s fine just skip it”. But the early days of the internet was so much different compared to the people today.

No but my daughter does and knowing her mom and me can track her in the event of an emergency is a big relief for her and us. It lets her have more freedom and confidence then if we didn’t have it

These are great services. Insane that they charge them but there are great use cases. Sorry kids, but parents need to know where you are.

Look, Software shouldn’t be free and open Source. I really like that we probably have a decade left of it before it gets bundled with ad services which it should have been from the start. The more people that adopt it means that it’s only a matter of time as long as we all just passively watch it get usurped

I’m sorry I lied. I made it up. I just wanted to fit in with everyone else shitting on the person creating stuff.

Very cool this is similar to dibbles. How is it different?

It’s bait

Oh we’re the idiots. Never saw that coming

Sure but I’m also all for innovating and watching these things fail. Isn’t there a value in letting dumb rich people with money waste their wealth on dumb ideas. It keeps them from doing things like buying Twitter

These people will literally punch a child in the face every time you use chatgpt. Be careful. They’re insufferable

It’s bait.

They probably an explanation tweet at the ready to make more sense of it. They just want enough 'hurr durr these idiot" comments before they reverse Uno card this with more context.

Let them. Copyright is bullshit. What’s the issue. He’s right

How far we’ve come
