Yes and I fucking love it.

In general I trust decrentalized services much more than centralized because there really is no feasable way of changing it to a centralized service (and making money off it) besides restructuring the entire platform. With signal they have that option to immediately make money by selling data to data brokers. Its the deciding factor why I choose a specific service because when a service is decentralized it implies it must be private as well, otherwise (if it isn’t) you can just move to another platform who does respect your privacy – or, better yet, make your own.

That’s what makes delta chat better compared to signal. So long as I have the ability to open port forwarding. I can setup a DNS service as the domain for my delta chat instance. I don’t need to trust anyone’s service, it is completely independent and private from other users joining, and the app (as in the delta chat or arcane chat applications) are opensource. I have no reason to avoid this service as it is completely private and it will be quite obvious their motivation when they do try to close source the app and start making it centralized.

I’m currently on the nine.testrun instance (run by delta chat). I will sooner or later use my own private instance. The main issue with delta chat is getting people to join it, it is far more challenging to get people to use it when all my family members are on WhatsApp.

No its apart of the companies business strategy. These tech companies fire an unprecedented amount of employees (primarily from the mass hiring during 2020) make a post they fired these employees because of ai improvements, see their stock price rise ultimately inflating it and creating an economic bubble, and rinse and repeat with the next wave of potential hires who are sucking their employers dick a little to hard.

It’s unethical, and it violates any and all job security and I don’t want to be apart of that toxic workspace. Its ironic im saying this because a few years ago if I got a job at Google I would say “fuck yea mother fucker count me in” and now I just don’t want to work for them. There are far better companies doing interesting and valuable work to benefit society than these hipster douche bags.

As far as I’m concerned the generative AI that we see in chatbots has no goal associated with it: it just exists for no purpose at all. In contrast to google translate or other translation apps (which BTW still use machine learning algorithms) have a far more practical use to it as being a resource to translate other languages in real-time. I don’t care what companies call it (if it’s a tool or not) at the moment its a big fucking turd that AI companies are trying to force feed down our fucking mouth.

You also see this tech slop happening historically in the evolution of search engines. Way before we had recommendation algorithms in most modern search engines. A search engine was basically a database where the user had to thoughtfully word its queries to get good search results, then came the recommendation algorithm and I could only imagine no one, literally no one, cared about it since we could already do the things this algorithm offered to solve. Still, however, it was pushed, and sooner than later integrated into most popular search engines. Now you see the same thing happening with generative AI…

The purpose of generative AI, much like the recommendation algorithm is solving nothing hence the analogy “its just a big fucking turd” is what I’m trying to persuade here: We could already do the things it offered to solve. If you can see the pattern, its just this downward spiraling affect. It appeals to anti intellectuals (which is most of the US at this point) and google and other major companies are making record profit by selling user data to brokers: its a win for both parties.

Enough that the dinosaurs would be jealous of the crater I indented in my eyeholes!

Oh trust me everything is predictable… At least in the US it is. Just look at openAI, they can somehow continue to manipulate the stock market in their favor by simply saying something related to “AI advancements”

No, just no. x is the variable for depth, y is the variable for width, and z is height. I learned that from multivariable calculus, no other convention is better.

Fuck you for showing me this, I’m now going to gauge my eyes out.
