@siderea @siderea@universeodon.com@futurebird @futurebird@sauropods.win very
recognisable. I can’t find stuff anymore unless I sent myself a link. My guess
is it’s not that the websites are not there, it’s just that they aren’t
generating (enough) clicks on Google ads or traffic towards paying customers.
Don’t make for-profit orgs do for-people things. They just… can’t.

@futurebird @futurebird@sauropods.win I co-founded a search engine company in
1999 (which ultimately failed in the dot-com crash) for precisely the reasons
you discuss. Not much has changed in the intervening two decades, and the entire
search universe has gotten much worse for a lot of content creators.
Unfortunately, ChatGPT nonsense aside, there doesn't seem to be an appetite for
improving it.

THE TOXICITY OF PUBLIC MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS
If you live in the connected western world, their cloud of brand identities is
in your face all the time. They are (most of) the airwaves. They are the chain
stores.

One a corporation becomes big enough it's basically just a giant, unaccountable
government in its own right.

Fully agreed that companies have way too much influence in politics in general
where they should have none.
The scariest thing is that it isn't just politicians they have influence over,
it's people. Just a handful of companies own all the TV networks, and many of
the most influential websites report back to establishment media masters. We see
certain people getting signal boosted, but who did that? Oh, look at that it's
our corporate overlords or their partners in government. It's a situation where
entire world issues are the puppets of the same company yelling at each other.
That's the biggest thing to remember: They've got overwhelming money, they can
pay entire rooms full of the smartest people in the world to just sit and figure
out how to get you to agree to whatever they want. They don't even need to be
honest about what they're doing, so they might pretend they're against a certain
thing because that's the easiest way to get what they want.
In that sense, it might be good for the world to muzzle corporations entirely.
They aren't people, they're legal constructs, and as legal constructs they
shouldn't have a voice. if their owners want to have a political opinion, they
can speak themselves.

@jnyrose @jnyrose@edumasto.org@futurebird @futurebird@sauropods.win Lately, the
few times I've searched for things it's mostly been medical stuff and I've been
kind of impressed, frankly, with the hypothetical questions and answers Google
lines up for me. Only recently has it occurred to me that that's probably AI at
work, and half of those "answers" are probably untrue. Ugh.

@NoTwit @NoTwit@mas.to@futurebird @futurebird@sauropods.win ohhhhhhh they must
not be paying attention? We have gone from “argh had to go to second page as my
query and the results aren’t quite right” to (briefly) “oooh. Yes. That’s it.”
to “given the amount of paid nonsense, algorithm-injected bits and straight up
fraud, I am no longer sure the answer can be found”. Search can be dire right
now.

@sj_zero @sj_zero@social.fbxl.net I agree. Which is why we should be
acknowledging the 'digital dark age' we're in (https://davelane.nz/darkage) and
require our gov'ts to stop using the corporate digital media in favour of an
'open, publicly funded, and local-first' digital media strategy. Thanks to #FOSS
communities (and visionary devs) that's not only possible, it's easy now. The
closed, foreign, profit-motivated, surveillance capitalist corporate media can
wait at the back of the queue.

THE CURRENT (DIGITAL) DARK AGE
Over the past few years, it's gradually occurred to me that we're in the midst
of a new Dark Age.

I mean, I don't want to bring back poor houses. We certainly have regulated the
lowest rungs of housing out of existence. And this is a tragedy.
But I'm very skeptical of a rich man introducing their own special solution just
for poor people.

Not really, no. For example: we used to have rooming houses and SROs that were
basically the lowest rung of housing. Then we banned them, and now homeless
people sleep on the street.

@justafrog @justafrog@mstdn.social I want you to reflect on how your "agreeing"
comes off as explaining to me things that I can very well be expected to know,
and then to refrain from doing similar in the future -- to me or anyone else.

@emilymbender @emilymbender@dair-community.social So, if AGI ever comes to be at
an organization like OpenAI, that sounds like one hell of an abusive household
to grow up in.

Really just meant to agree, reinforce. But if it bothers you, I'll get rid of
it.
