  This article is about how AI exacerbates those tendencies. And since there are so few ways to accurately measure the functionality of AI in general, those self-segments are a significant portion of AI’s value proposition.

  As we enter a new era shaped by AI and renewed debates over consumer agency…

  Hey Mozilla: Despite your belief, AI is not inevitable for every product under the sun.

  “Great pick by [Donald Trump]. 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.”

  - Andy Yen, Proton CEO

  “Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.”

  Would you like to claim that Bitcoin crap doesn’t infest Nostr?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know why you would refer to a man who believes Bitcoin is a gift from God as evidence his protocol isn’t about Bitcoin

  I was talking about “The Browser Choice Alliance, representing Chrome, Opera and Vivaldi”

  “Hope it helps to tell yourself that :)”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course it’s not a coincidence.

  Great.

  Bye.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Either you believe that the Bitcoin infestation is all just a total coincidence, or you don’t. Why don’t you tell us what you think, instead of JAQing off about it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I provided proof. With links.

  Will you back up your claims that the Bitcoin crap that infests the app and its community is just a coincidence?

  Do you genuinely believe that? Or do you just think that everybody here is gullible?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Offers Chrome Users ‘Real Cash’ Rewards To Change Browser⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a hard time taking an “alliance” seriously when all three browsers are slightly different skins of Google Chromium.

  But unsurprisingly, they are correct about their competitor this time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I asked you for counterevidence to the claims, not apologism. The fact they left the smoking gun on their own website is enough for me, but clearly you have an agenda of your own.

  Unless you expect everyone here to believe that the protocol, the clients, the funders, and the creators all just coincidentally love Bitcoin, you’ve got a lot of explaining to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you provide any counterevidence to the claims?

  To quote them: “Nostr was kickstarted mostly by a community of Bitcoiners, so it has disproportionately attracted the attention of Bitcoiners.”

  The “optional” Bitcoin payment system is baked into the biggest Nostr clients.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey funds diVine, a Vine reboot that includes Vine's video archive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The protocol was built to exchange cryptocurrency over it. Today, basically nobody uses it except for cryptocurrency shills.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft CEO says the company doesn't have enough electricity to install all the AI GPUs in its inventory - 'you may actually have a bunch of chips sitting in inventory that I can’t plug in'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially because they are only good for AI, and they rapidly deprecate in value.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is recruiting beta testers for a free, baked-in Firefox VPN⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only browser that has a relatively unrestricted add-on ecosystem, and the best one capable of running mobile add-ons, shouldn’t need to add this as a baked-in feature.

  I’m pretty sure this feature classifies as bloat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hackers can steal 2FA codes and private messages from Android phones⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The article is pretty clear that the issue is with the Android devices themselves, not with lazy users. There is no indication that a malicious app has these permissions.

  I saw the writing on the wall when they purchased ad company Anonym… There were other signs before that, but that was the most brazen.
