Seriously, 1257 “technology partners” claiming they have a legitimate interest to set cookies on Futurism.com. You don’t need to, but “some personalization of content and advertising won't be available” like I need that.

De vez en cuando, suelo usar Pinterest para buscar inspiración en fotos de livings, o cocinas, o habitaciones, etc. Me he pasado largo rato navegando entre su contenido.
Ayer entré y me encontré que la mayoría de las imágenes son generadas por IA.
¿Que inspiración puedo sacar de productos o lugares que no son reales? Ni siquiera las sombras salen bien!!
Abandoné el sitio al ratito nomás, sin conseguir lo que buscaba.
Que asco todo.
I see Epic are presenting new terms and conditions about 5 miles long, including some crap about machine learning. I'm sure glad I never paid them much money and next I can set about never using their service again. #epicgamesstore #EpicGames #enshitification #NoAI
Mechanic Ensh*ttification, Live! Micah and Cory Doctorow in Conversation
Excellent interview with Cory Doctorow on our favorite topic Enshitification 
“This past weekend, OTM co-host Micah Loewinger went to Seattle to sit down with an all-time favourite guest of the show: tech activist and writer Cory Doctorow. We recorded the following conversation in front of a live audience at the Cascade #PBS Ideas festival. The topic was “Enshittification” – Cory’s theory of how everything on the internet got worse”

By the way comrades, what's the plan for when big tech locks true indie devs out of the online market completely, permitting only giant publishers, devs and subscriptions? Its not like it isn't going to happen, right? And there is a plan already, right? Right?!?

#Tech #Enshitification is driving me mad!
I'm going to (reluctantly)take the weekend off, or try to anyway.
See Monday 
Bis vor kurzem konnte ich auf dem Mac das Heute Journal vom ZDF sehen.

N'oubliez pas : l'IA générative est un futur inévitable. Comme le Metaverse. Il n'y aura pas de retour en arrière. Comme pour les télévisions qui gèrent la 3D.

Nothing is more annoying than paying for Amazon Prime videos, and finding that any classic or popular film over 5 years old is “Rent or Buy.” #Enshitification @pluralistic

@nurglerider I think you are correct. Glorious #Enshitification to serve the #Corporation and #ProfitMotive
The #Enshitification of the #internet by #Google continues.
I went to look up a nearby take away option for dinner that I have looked up many times before. The website for the take away is no longer on the first page of the Google search.
It is all part of Google’s attempts to bury the information you want so you have to spend longer on their site seeing their adds.
I am now using #DuckDuckGo for my internet searches - same search criteria and the take away website came up first.
Telegram is dieing
Telegram partnering with Elon’s #AI to distribute #Grok inside chats is a clear line crossed. This matters because private data ≠ training fodder, bringing Grok (or any #LLM) into messaging apps opens the door to pervasive data harvesting and normalization of surveillance.This is an example of platform drift: Telegram was always sketchy (proprietary, central control, opaque funding), but this is active betrayal of its user base, especially those in repressive regions who relied on […]hamishcampbell.comTelegram is dieing – Hamish Campbell

TCL has popped up a couple of times now demanding I agree to their new privacy policy on my main TV.
The page that shows the new policy is black text on a grey background. There's just enough contrast to see there are words on the screen, but it's difficult to read.
Thankfully they give the option to just cancel out.
I don't use the smart functionality anyway.

@arstechnica Why does everything have to have AI shoehorned into it these days? #enshitification

People who share videos, watch videos, and live-stream etc: you want a good alternative to centralized video apps?
Don't just complain about Google and Youtube, or the lack of good alternatives.
Help FUND the alternative. Help build something better.
