Well I have some good news…! Water can in fact flow upstream. Look up tidal bores they are really fucking cool!

Can they… not?

Honestly thats the healthiest outlook. We should all be skeptical any time we use a service. Diversification and not throwing all in is a soild middle ground.

Honestly my read on this tho at this point having looked and thought on it more, is that it could be anything from proton struggling to find talent and accepting the fact AI is just a fact of reality. And checking who in the company is willing to work with ai and who isn’t before they make a big company wide shift in how they operate is frankly a good idea.

It reads as a possible lay off or a smart move from up high to get a feel for the workers opinions. Or any combo inbetween. Its hard to say with what we have here.

So i am not holding my breath its just the overlords from up high being smart. But its not impossible.

Don’t ai tend to lean to progressive anyways? They go stupid when you try to force them to be conservative.

Yeah the problem is any AI that is built ethically and respects privacy even 48% right is being kind. While the unethical ones are starting to push 90%+ accuracy in god damn well near every metric the normal person cares about.

But they abuse the Internet and destroy everything to get there.

It’s fucked

For you know 5 or so years then also go to shit.

Like why can’t a company just decide to stay the good guys for like any real amount of time ;-;

Give it 5 years and that shiny will ware off. That’s the damn problem. Nothing last forever and everything goes to shit eventually.

At some point you just gotta settle for the devil you know.

If you still have the energy to most posteo is fantastic from what I have heard tho.

I’m just tired man, I just want to stop having to think about politics in my fucking email.

Clearly you just aren’t high enough to have looped back around into highly functional

The problem is at this rate if we keep dropping things because companies are stupid.

We will have literally nothing left.

I don’t know about you but building the infrastructure and services proton has is not something i can do. Like some of it I can self host and I do. But like that’s only a fraction it cost more to do it myself then I would spend in years letting them handle it. And it would be less reliable and strain my already tight food budget.

'm just running out of companies that aren’t actively kicking puppies.

So either I become a luddite and stop using technology or I’m stuck accepting reality isn’t a magical wonderland where fucked up assholes are in charge of basically everything.

Horse cock from the hit game how to clean your dragon!

It’s peak humanity. It really is a fantastic show of the double standards and mental gymnastics that define what it is to be human.

Read and nuance is for the bird! We do snap reactions and hot takes around here!

Lemmy is such a fun duality of positive vibes and absolutely brain dead hate band wagons.

Better than reddit that’s only hate bandwagons tho.

The ai bubble bursting and hardware prices crashing would make local gen even more affordable.

Which means cheap generic ass stock filler imgs would be easy and accessible for everyone.

Fuck ai, but fuck getty more. Anything that undermines them is good.

Honestly… I rather have ai stock imgs then getty. The entire point of stock it’s is they are place holder or filler imgs.

They are purely functional in nature. Ai is fine for that more or less.

Still don’t consider it a proper back up personally.

It’s just not a good long term solution. A short term backup for redundancy while actively working on something sure. Just keep it local.

But as a real actual backup? No, local doesn’t cut it.

Think of how funny it would be to sell a book that absolutely clowns on maga and then having it get popular with maga.

Lol

Your welcome and good luck!

I’m not wondering nor do I see the point of downvotes? I will never understand the weird fixation with down votes.

Also I don’t even see these downvotes your talking about in the first place. My post appears to have no downvotes and one upvote to me.

So either something is broken here or your bullshiting for a reason I don’t understand.

That’s entirely enough reason to hate it.

But it’s also objectively fucking stupid to act as if this is some new historic event in human history and not just yet another dumb fuck move in a long line of dumb fuck moves.

Plenty of good reasons to be pissed off. You don’t have to lie and bullshit to make up more is what I’m getting at.

May your journey be safe and your disks stay spinning.
