I like those note-taking apps that require my location for a better user experience
What do you mean you don’t want location tags in your notes?
The Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus.
Personally I’d say every single product and service being transparently wrapped in a personal information honeypot
Just give me your ID bro. It’s totally to protect the kids bro.
I personally hate the “thanks to AI you now can speak to your dead relatives” ones. Especially those ones which try to spin it like a personal story for the developer of the app. Oh god shut up, you would sell your own mother for money. And also you are too late to jump on that bandwagon so get lost, we have enough of you leeches.
In case someone needs help:
Uber/Lyft
Airbnb
Bitcoin/Crypotocurrency
ChatGPT/LLMs
Because you have 2/4 general terms:
- Rideshare
- Short term rentals
- Crypto
- LLM
shouldnt 4 also include AI generated images?
Llms generate those afaik
No, those are generally diffusion models, not large language models. Language models generate text.
Cryptocurrency not Cryptography to disambiguate again
Uber/Lyft
Airbnb
Apart from the recently added surge pricing, what else is illegal about these 2?
They literally exist as a way for tech bro libertarian idiots to circumvent laws around Taxis and Hotels because “Its totally just people rending their own stuff/time bro.”
Like, the idea of Uber where its “we go to work along the same route,lets share a ride” is vaguely admirable, ie “rideshare” where it startrd. But its become people’s job and its literally just tsxis without the rules.
Taxis and hotels used to be strongly regulated industries. For both, permits were required as well as regular checks. But Uber/Lyft/Airbnb created a system outside of the standard legal framework, allowing them to run an almost lawless business. So I wouldn’t say illegal but ethically grey.
To be fair, all money is fake and used by criminals
The leader of the country that prints the world’s reserve currency is a convicted felon so that tracks.
Forgot “Glorified Pump-&-Dump scheme” (NFT’s)
NFTs are basically Bitcoin and fall under fake money for criminals.
Stamp collecting for criminals
What about dystopian surveillance tech?
Isn’t that all of the above?
That is more a fronteir llm thing…
I think quite a bit of what they are trying could with some optimization be run local thus no need to send entire context windows to big tech (sure this hypothetical model would know less trivia but in an agent system would be able to look it up)
But of course big tech and other large orgs like hording all your data for profit.
What would we do without capitalist innovation? Before capitalism, nothing was invented. Look at us now!
