i wouldn´t even know how to fight it. outright banning meta, google and openai services would mess up everything… we dug our own grave and continue doing so.
us few individuals who are conscious abt it get ridiculed for speaking out…
oh well. it´s over.
Banning openai is the equivalent of banning caramel. Sure, it’s gonna be missing, but there’s a million other candies and most people (outside of tech) wouldn’t even really realize it, if they weren’t told.
Google and Meta are different, because they are long standing quasi-monopolies. But even then we could move away from things like search or social media. Services that are more engrained and less visible are going to be the main enemy here.
And no, we’re not doomed. Far from it. This space is in the middle of development. Nothing is set in stone, giants fall left and right, new ones emerge aside them. You’re doing a doomerism.
What is the rest of Google (alphabet) doing?
Things like ad services, Android, other OSs, Hosting/Cloud, lot’s of other stuff. Wikipedia is a good resource.
it is not though. wikipedia is heavily edited by western intelligence services and scrubs unfavourable data.
it´s good to hear level headed takes on this among a environment that causes a doomer mindset :)
You’re welcome. :)
