You still work. You still buy. You still support the system.
Of course, because I'm no more 16 arguing that a revolution is the solution.

All your friends are on a group chat and they will periodically mail you the updates. Sure, why not?
Wow, your arguments are so solid! I'm totally convinced!
We have lost all sense of how to influence the world and all ability to gauge scale.
Absolutely correct!
I believe in "voting with your wallet" and I do little sacrifices to respect my ideas, but I'm conscious that I'm just one step above people clicking on petitions online in terms of impact.
Sure, why not?
Fast forward a couple of months:
-
you lost contacts with 95% of your contacts you used to hear through apps. Last time you met a group of friends was when you randomly met them in a restaurant having a dinner together. "We invited you but you didn't reply". The 5% still calling you wants your money.
-
your bank started charging an extra fee because you did not object when they notified a change in the contract via email. You missed a notification from the tax office and now you have to pay a small fine.
-
your car cannot circulate anymore because you live in Europe and cities may ban old polluting engines.
-
you read less because it started to be expensive to buy all those magazines. On the flip side you are more fit because you have to walk 2km to reach a place that sells them.
Ironically you just said that artists are wrong to be concerned.
maybe it’s cause the models are beginning to consume their own slop.
That's going to be a huge issue indeed because synthetic data contains bias and it's proven that produced biased models.
Absolutely correct.
One random example: where I work, CVs are being filtered by an AI before they are opened by a human reducing the volume to a 20% of potentially good candidates. In that 20% there is always someone to hire, so it doesn't matter if a good candidate is lost in the AI filter. Failing to optimize the CV for AI literally means being left behind.
Hive mind.
It is unimaginative
Can you make an example of something 100% original that was not inspired by anything that came before?
I selfhost since so long that some of my domains could vote, but I still need some "mainstream" channels to be reached by several people.
If we can argue that close friends will put extra effort to contact you on whatever you use, it's also true that your landlord, the plumber, the chick you picked up last night, won't give a shit and simply consider you a lunatic 99% of times if you tell them to use anything non-mainstream.
