  4. RE: mastodon.world/@paulschoe/1168

    Happy with the win of Belgium's Red Devils.

    But nothing can undo what happened.

    The reputation of FIFA is damaged and will remain so until Infantino is replaced by a leader with an uncorruptible reputation.

    The reflection pool and his meddling with soccer affairs perfectly sum up Trump's presidency:

    1) Unlimited corruption.
    2) EVERYTHING that Trump touches, dies.

    Thank you, Trump, for showing that to the world again.

  24. AI is NOT "disruptive" technology. At least not when used with "horse and carriage vs the car" and "the printing press" and "the internet" in mind.

    In fact, when the car came, it was a democratizing thing, it was disruptive, as in: the old ways where cast aside plus EVERYONE could eventually afford to own such a disruptive device.

    The printing press made books available to everyone, not just the insanely wealthy few that could afford it. The disruptive part was everybody beeing able to get educated and share more idea's with others. It was democratizing knowledge.

    The internet democratized our voices, and the sharing of knowledge even more then books. Everybody could get on, and it did not belong to a single brand of person.

    #AI . Well, it belongs to a select few. #Billionaires. I cannot run that kind of AI, I cannot train new ones, I do not have access to that kind of hardware. In other words, it is the opposite of democratizing. It is pure capitalism. It's not enabling us, it is gatekeeping it to those who have "sort of" access to it (#Subscriptions).

    AI is not #disruptive, it is #destructive. To our minds (people are going insane because of it), to our planet (using all our resources, water, electricy), to our jobs (replacing us), our art (#slop) and I shudder to think what it will destroy next.

    This is NOT the era of "bicycles for the mind" (Idiotic phrase), it is the era in history that will be remembered for how we let a few rich bastards control us to the brink of existence. The era of #enshittification
