"We shape our tools and thereafter they shape us". Culkin summarizing McLuhan in 1967.

Perhaps, but only if you let them. Out of the box, maybe. But all you have to do is instruct them to be a sparring partner, an agent provocateur, and out goes the sycophancy.

The enshittification of BlueSky. In 2025, Bluesky raised $100M from Bain Capital Crypto and "forgot" to tell people for almost a year. Clearly, Jay Graber's resignation is linked to this. You can shelve your "less toxic alternative" BS now. This place is done. techcrunch.com/2026/03/19/b...

"CVS said its digital twins are based on 2.9 million responses from over 400,000 real people with their consent." Allow me to suggest a possible framework for you to use next time: 1) Read the article. 2) Use AI to do some research if you don't. 3) Then post about how bad it is. 4) Or not.

Agents “are essentially digital clones of real individuals, who are interviewed to gather their preferences, personality and other traits. Simile then combines that data with participants' behavioral and purchase data to ensure 'generalizability and visibility into people's thoughts and behaviors'”

No boycott? Nothing? The trend of X users generating nonconsensual deepfakes using Grok hasn't slowed down, despite massive attention and outrage over the past week. There are 7,000 image requests/hour for this type of image, yet nothing is being done to stop it.

In 2023, Sam Altman famously said, "There'll soon be a one-person billion-dollar company." Two years later, we're watching his prediction unfold - and not simply because of Al, but because of the individuals who are wielding it.

The fact that Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social regularly shares such incredibly valuable and factual posts and nonetheless gets so much less attention and traction on social media compared to most of the dreck out there is a testament to just how fucked up things are today.

Der rechtliche Fokus wird auf der Nutzung des Inhalts zu kommerziellen Zwecken liegen, insbesondere auf der Hinzufügung eines kommerziellen "Call-to-Action" in Bezug auf Abonnements. Dies sowie die Tatsache, dass das österreichische Recht (UrhG § 14) die AGBs von Meta überragt.

Falls das Gericht diese "Umgestaltung" als Werbung einstuft, gewinnt die Urheberrechtsklage der FPÖ nach österreichischem Urheberrecht (UrhG § 14, Verwertungsrechte des Urhebers) erheblich an Gewicht. (2/2)

George Nimeh @nimeh.com · 12/03/2025

Der "überlagerte" Text leitet die Zuschauer ausdrücklich zu einem kostenpflichtigen Abonnement weiter, was es schwierig macht zu argumentieren, dass es sich nur um einen neutralen Repost mit Kommentar handelt. (1/2)

George Nimeh @nimeh.com · 12/03/2025

Der Schlüsselpunkt ist, ob Klenks Repost kommerziell genutzt wurde, etwa zur Bewerbung eines Falter-Abos – falls ja, stärkt das die FPÖ. Zudem steht das österreichische Urheberrecht über Metas AGBs, was allen Journalisten bekannt ist.

There was an election in Austria, right? 29 September 2024? Right? Can someone remind me, because it doesn't seem to have worked. I mean, we had an unelected Chancellor for years so I thought maybe after a much-delayed election there might be a government by the end of February 2025. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
