Yes I agree, and its a reason I find the current build-out of online ad-tech to be particularly scary: it is built to quietly identify and exploit our biases.
In the conversation around "what might an AI-driven future look like?", I think we need to carefully consider not only the dangers inherent to the AI itself, but also the dangers inherent to having an AI exist in parallel to other systems that open up potential for abuse. Because as-is, it seems like we're heading into a future of AI-driven advertising, that will likely be incredibly effective at playing our inherent biases without our knowing. "Genuine conversation" will be increasingly difficult to identify.
Just saving a copy the instance/user data. I had a fairly active account for the entire time the instance was around, it would be cool to get a copy of my account data. I used the account as a spot to post stuff for later reference from time to time, so it would be nice to still have that on hand.
Understandable if not though, I knew the potential pitfalls of living on someone else's instance. ty for hosting for all those years, in any case 🍻
Oh damn, bitcoinhackers is dead now eh? RIP.
#[0] did you cache the instance data before taking it down by chance?
I was just discussing that with a friend a night or two ago. As the digital world becomes more easily ‘forge-able’, will we further distinguish real life from it? Right now the two are somewhat messily tied together (ones irl persona, and online persona)
It’s just more data for them to utilize with the ad platforms they do control. Even if nostr takes hold as an alternative, ad-serving-businesses will still exist online.
Damus updated. We zap’n now ⚡️😎
Slowly but surely, holes are poker in the curtain of deception that shitcoiners drape over their projects.
Spending quality time with my family, and working to build a better world for them.
Next block is number 777,777!
Coming up on block 777,777.
Who here knows how many blocks they've owned bitcoin for?
I agree, it is well past due for their to be monetization schemes beyond the absolute hell that is modern adtech.
