@webhat You know how technology was supposed to make our life better? The capitalists enshittificating everything they get their grabby hands on is turning me into a luddite...

I often sit in meetings when some piece of tech is failing, again, shrug, throw my hands up and say: "Technology, eh‽"

“We really don’t have any sort of comprehensive federal privacy legislation,” EFF’s Maddie Daly told Roll Call. “And that’s really the harm that people are getting at here, is that these companies can siphon up all of your data and sell it and use it to… target advertising to your kids.” https://rollcall.com/2026/05/15/chatbot-bills-look-to-address-safety-fears-as-midterms-loom/

@rmikke @wariat Myślę, że to zależy od tego, gdzie się szuka informacji. Nic dziwnego, że BigTechy z USA tych rozwiązań nie promują, wręcz "zakopują". A nasze rodzime "media technologiczne" o nich nie piszą, bo wiszą na dotacjach od bogatych BigTechów z USA🤷♂️Ja znałem sporo, ale też znalazłem kilka nowych rzeczy.Przy okazji polecam fajną stronę "European alternatives for digital products":https://european-alternatives.eu

📰 "Wybuchła bomba zegarowa: era „jedz, ile chcesz” w dziedzinie sztucznej inteligencji właśnie na naszych oczach dobiegła końca Sześć dni temu opublikowaliśmy artykuł, w którym argumentowaliśmy, że każda subskrypcja usług opartych na sztucznej inteligencji stanowi dla przedsiębiorstw tykającą bombę zegarową. Nie spodziewaliśmy się jednak, że lont będzie aż tak krótki.Argument jest taki: laboratoria AI zajmujące się sztuczną inteligencją sprzedają moc obliczeniową za ułamek jej rzeczywistego kosztu, firmy oparły swoje kluczowe procesy na tych dotowanych cenach, a kiedy nadejdzie korekta, będzie ona brutalna.14 maja, trzy dni po opublikowaniu artykułu, zarówno #Anthropic, jak i #OpenAI podjęły działania, które sprawiły, że zmiana cen przestała być teoretyczna, a stała się faktem. Dzieje się to teraz, publicznie, w atmosferze agresywnej konkurencji, która pokazuje, że żadna z firm nie wierzy, że obecny model przetrwa ten rok."Całość [EN]:https://www.thestateofbrand.com/news/ai-subscription-price-subsidiation-ending#AI #biznes #ceny #giełda #zyskowność #USA
