People don’t like that generative AI is based on stolen content. People don’t like that it’s being forced into everything. People don’t like that it isn’t even good at most of the things it tries to do. People definitely hate it’s attempts at ‘music’ and ‘art.’ People don’t like it’s immense energy costs. People don’t like that it might render them, and everyone else, unemployed. People don’t like that they’re owned by oligarchs.

Oligarchs invested trillions in the hope of firing us all and no longer paying us wages. You need to get some class consciousness.

Wild that people just casually admit to outsourcing their thinking to a machine. I’d never willing post something that embarrassing. Butlerian Jihad Now.

Steam, too. It was originally unpopular DRM for Half-Life 2. It had a broken offline mode that could only be selected when already online. It had no meaningful customer service and people permanently lost their accounts with no avenue for appeal (and probably no human even involved).

Realistically, I don’t think there’s much online browsing you can do with 2GB of RAM. The websites themselves will be as much of a bottleneck as the browser.

What a terribly written article.

So it’s bricking an external piece of cheating hardware and not users’ actual PCs, or…?

Kobo has it’s own ebook store, plus it connects with Overdrive (outdated version of Libby) to handle library checkouts.

Kobo is also really easy to sideload books on to, so you can, you know, just get them from wherever…

By allowing oligarchs to continue owning the means of production (and wealth, control of the state, etc.), whereas workers will have lost labor to withhold.

The oligarchs will give us just enough UBI to not riot. It’s going to be used as a bribe to keep them in power. That’s my issue with calls for UBI; they permanently entrench class dynamics. Our only (peaceful) leverage as workers to improve our conditions is to withhold our labor. If AI actually succeeds in mass unemployment, we lose that and we’ll be forever at their mercy.

It’s depends on the subreddit, I think. Or a big disconnect between lurkers and commenters? Her posts in r/Comics used to be attacked (brigaded?) so often mods changed the rules to lock down commenting on her comics. Her comics are banned from r/bonehurtingjuice because she threatened to sue or the moderators.
