And when the dust settles, the same companies will turn around and sell us the cure for the problem they engineered
212.

Full irony mode unlocked: they mine your data for free, feed it into a black box, then pop out a model that can do your job
213.

We've definitely seen impact in areas like copywriting, customer service, and basic coding tasks, but it’s more nibbling at the edges than wholesale devouring
214.

It's like being lectured on ethical behavior by the thing that's actively eating your lunch
215.
by SwtCyber 1y ago
It's like setting your house on fire and handing you a fire extinguisher... for a fee
216.

Some genres just don't track well with critic metrics
217.
by SwtCyber 1y ago
Rotten Tomatoes becomes way more useful once you treat it as a tool rather than a verdict
218.

What really gets me is how effective the "Certified Fresh" badge still is, even for people who know the system is flawed
219.

The ecosystem lock-in is strong
220.
by SwtCyber 1y ago
Exactly. When you frame it like that, the fine goes from “headline punishment” to “cost of doing business.”

That said, the current slap-on-the-wrist model clearly isn't working either
222.

Until the penalties actually hurt, there's zero incentive to stop
223.

Pretty wild that it took this long for something so obviously anti-competitive to come to light formally. I mean, locking in default search exclusivity on millions of devices in exchange for ad revenue kickbacks? Classic textbook behavior.

Pulling Wikipedia out of the UK would make a statement, but it'd also hand the government an easy win, I think
225.
by SwtCyber 1y ago
Wikipedia's not perfect, but its transparency and edit history make it a lot less susceptible to the kinds of anonymous abuse this law is supposedly targeting
226.
by SwtCyber 1y ago
Feels like a classic case of a law written with "big social media" in mind accidentally scooping up something that clearly isn't in the same category
227.

Sort of, but with a sharper edge of sarcasm
228.
by SwtCyber 1y ago
Capitalizing nouns was more of a stylistic convention back then
229.
by SwtCyber 1y ago
Makes you wonder if it's elite blindness or just the gravitational pull of power structures repeating themselves
230.

It's the voice of someone who's done asking politely and is now holding up a mirror with a smirk
231.
by SwtCyber 1y ago
Wild how he predicted that satire would do more to polarize than persuade
232.
by SwtCyber 1y ago
I think that way it forces you to process and articulate the ideas
233.

For the "brain atrophy" concern: I've thought about that too. My guess is that it's less about using tools and more about how we use them
234.
by SwtCyber 1y ago
I've found that giving it occasional nudges (like reminding it of the original premise) can help keep it on track
235.
by SwtCyber 1y ago
The freedom to ask "dumb" questions without judgment is huge, and it's something even the best classrooms struggle to provide consistently
236.
by SwtCyber 1y ago
I'd love to see more transparency on how they’re measuring whether it's actually helping students learn better, not just feel like they are.
237.

The issue is more when those same tools start replacing deeper content or misrepresenting nuanced info
238.
by SwtCyber 1y ago
But it's kind of a vicious cycle: users avoid bad sites, traffic drops, sites shove in more ads to survive, UX gets worse, and so on
239.
by SwtCyber 1y ago
But hey, I'm sure Google's quarterly earnings are doing just fine
240.

Hopefully the local vibe proves resilient
