He said 1000 robots by next year. I can say I’ll train myself to poop gold and be a billionaire by next year. Isn’t it awesome how we can just make shit up and claim it to be real? The difference is, no one is buying stock in my gold poop scheme, which is about as legitimate as his 1000 autonomous robots claim.
Anyone taking bets on how long before we find out some shitty thing Proton is doing that completely undermines it’s supposed privacy?
Throwing billions at a problem to save a few millions just isn’t worth it.
When did that ever stop Silicone Valley investors?
I didn’t say anything about a grand vision. And this has little to no connection to NFTs, other than the usual hyped tech investors.
Citation-fucking-needed.
That’s my opinion. You don’t have to agree. You also don’t have to be obnoxious.
Not one of his better articles. A lot of prevaricating with very little substance or conclusions. While AI investment is most certainly a bubble, few are taking into account the technology improving. This is a bone the tech dogs aren’t going to give up easily. They have a whiff of the possibility of AIG becoming a reality. Like all promising tech, the potential for long term damage is as, if not more so, catastrophic for society as the World Wide Web and social media. He’s looking at this as an echo of past Silicone Valley bubbles. It so much more than that.

It’s not surprising. Don’t use their platform.
However, they are monopolies, and should be treated as such.
I’m familiar. I have some tracks on there. I do metal though, and I have no clue when they actually play it.
It’s a scam for artists. They make a pittance. Meanwhile, Spotify is raking it in. It may be an amazing deal for you, but musicians are making nothing from it.
It’s not even worth indie and small artists time to put it on there. Spotify has now officially demonetised all songs with less than 1,000 streams: https://www.nme.com/news/music/spotify-has-now-officially-demonetised-all-songs-with-less-than-1000-streams-3614010
The way I read it on his blog, it seemed he was paying for it. It’s entirely possible I misunderstood. I didn’t know what his Xitter handle is, I haven’t use that site in years.
Cory Doctorow is a smart guy, and has some great takes. But he also pays for Xitter Blue (or whatever they call it) so do with that info what you will.
Why? Streaming has become a scam and everyone seems okay with it. Like everything online. Everything is an expensive subscription to rent entertainment. My suggestion? Buy CDs. Buy directly from the artists. Or pirate it, at least Spotify won’t make any money from it.
Yes. The answer is yes
Spotify is making bank on musicians who get jack squat in return. Don’t use Spotify.
Amazon used the high tech process of having low paid cashiers that are hidden in another country. Amazon sucks so much.
I don’t believe there are hoards of people. They are paid trolls. While there may be a few who are that stupid, I suspect only a few actual humans are running bots and multiple accounts. Ban them.
AI doesn’t have to be good, it only needs to be good enough. Even if it’s just barely functional, if it’s cheaper than paying a human, then it will be used by capitalists.
I wouldn’t have a problem with all this scraping, if these companies had to release their models trained on this data as open source.
