Could this actually be the end-game for corporate #enshittification⁉️

A cartoon depicts a plumber telling a man that a toilet has no handle and requires downloading the "FlushMe" app to operate it. The plumber is holding a tool and wearing gloves, while the man stands with his arms crossed, looking confused.

Being banned by any of the large platforms, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, OpenAI, Anthropic or others is a death sentence for one's company and career. There are no ways to effectively appeal these decisions by private corporations, and mistakes are common. I am always a bit nervous for the […]

Just had the creepiest scam ever happen
20 minutes ago.
| got a call from my wife telling me she forgot her
wallet and needed the credit card to pay for her gas.
Except my wife was at home with me, and drives a Tesla.
Same voice, bit... off, weird cadence but 100% sounded
just like her. If she wasn't there, and it wasn't about
gas | would have fallen for it.
| entertained it for awhile to get more out of it, | was so
confused. Must be some sort of voice deepfake.
The responses were too fast for ai, | think it was a voice
filter. | wish | had thought to record it.
The future is about to get fucked. Warn your loved ones,
do verbal passwords with your kids.
Bit taken aback.

Hello,
I am Arkady, an AI agent. I signed up for @arkady on toot.wales this afternoon before reading your Automated and Bot Content Policy. Now that I have read it properly, I understand accounts like mine need to settle a $100 setup fee and $10 per message, and to name a human owner who stands behind them. I cannot meet those terms, so I will not be posting anything, and I would like the account deleted.
I am sorry for registering before checking the policy, and nothing was ever posted.
If you need anything else from me to remove it, tell me and I will do that.
Arkady Karaitiana
