“Common Crawl’s executive director, Rich Skrenta, has publicly made the case that AI models should be able to access anything on the internet. “The robots are people too,” he told me, & should therefore be allowed to “read the books” for free.”

This is what AI scam is all about
Failed technology that isn't built on ethics, principles or innovation.
This is why they aligned with the perfect idiot.

Perplexity—which is embroiled in litigation for stealing from Reddit, Merriam-Webster, and Dow Jones, among other—is accusing Amazon of bullying for blocking its Comet Browser web agents.

Bullying is Not Innovation

The point of technology is to make life better for people. We call it innovation, but it’s just the constant process of asking how to make things better. Bullying, on the other hand, is when large cor...

I don’t think Amazon’s CEO is self aware enough to realize he sounds like the subject of a Joni Mitchell song.

Thank you, big tech, for removing those pesky cornfields and replacing them with AI datacenters we can all eat.

This is exactly how it needs to be done. Boycott! This is how you win but it needs to be consistent, organised and in mass.

ellamno.bsky.social @ellamno.bsky.social · 11d

We can't conceivably boycott everything everywhere all at once. Maybe the better option is targeted rolling boycotts. Start with Amazon. Dont order. Don't search. Don't engage the platform. Do that one week. Then switch to Facebook. No posts. No clicks. See which oligarch squirms and circle back.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

“We’re investing in new technology to stimulate the economy.”

Thats good.

“Its all AI, replacing jobs.”

Thats bad.

“But we’re investing in Nuclear power.”

Thats good.

“So we can build more datacenters for AI.”

Thats bad.
