This passage makes me wonder if the book is AI slop

That’s my reaction as well. They’re not going to actually stop doing this over some bad press, they’re just going to be more secretive about it.

I hate when articles say “sparking concerns” or some middle-of-the-road shit like that. Total cop out, trying to play both sides.

Meanwhile Tim Sweeney is defending pedophilia and genAI.

Whatever tiny hope of correcting this died when Trump was re-elected. It’s been game over for a while now. That’s not to say we shouldn’t try to make a difference where we can, but it’s too late for Earth.

Are these the same users that that vowed to boycott Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Substack? Or are these the same users that vowed to boycott when Spotify started banking Joe Rogan and other rightwingers?

I’ve stopped using all of the above years ago, I’m no hypocrite, but I also know the number of people who will drop Spotify over this are a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of its massive user base. Nothing will ever change when it comes to big social media/tech companies like this because too many people don’t actually care.
