Although I haven’t specifically used Facebook since I detached from that scrollslop-sodden mess, I still kept it around as another site to syndicate my blog posts. Occasionally dropping in to check up on friends, but otherwise resigning it to the dregs of enshittification.

Then, a few days back, I was denied access to the site due to Meta’s interpretation of UK Law. As part of increased governmental crackdown on SocMed’s influence over here, users can now choose to pay a monthly subscription. One to avoid having their personal data harvested and sent to advertisers – not an immediately terrible idea in theory. However, the option was presented in a most user-hostile form of malicious compliance.

UK users logging into Facebook this week were presented with a forced interstitial screen, demanding the user choose between this new option or keep things apparently just as they were. Slowly, and then all at once, my remaining trust was effectively squandered.

Business as usual should not require the user to confirm it as such – especially when adding a new option. Denying access to the site until the choice is made only adds greater weight to perceived wrongdoing.

Meta has historically pushed too far too often, and denying access is leverage against the user. Although the “current experience” claims to keep things as they were, there is an implication that users who choose this may inadvertently authorise further data-harvesting beyond expectations. It simply doesn’t sit right with me.

My suspicions may seem a small, barely-warranted, grievance, but they come after a sustained succession of other small grievances. Thankfully a third option – to delete or disable one’s account – was still available without further compliance. I was also able to kick off a full data export, although I doubt I’ll see it anytime soon. This post shall constrain the only ‘drama’ of departure.

Instagram remains usable under these terms for now, as the interstitial there can be skipped by reloading the app or manually mangling the URL. I don’t believe this will be an option for long, and fully expect to be closing that down as well. WhatsApp so far has not succumbed, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that goes the same way – especially given recent rumours that end-to-end encryption is still snoopable.

These anti-user blocks follow a similar pattern that’s emerged over here, where sites that have been used without issue for many years suddenly require personal identification to access. Often in the form of video authentication or demanding access to government ID to prove the user is “of age”. Beyond smut, these restrictions have nigh-immediately been weaponized to restrict access way beyond their remit, including basic account management, with personal details and documentation farmed off to barely-vetted third parties who have already proved their lax security.

In the name of safety, online existence isn’t as “safe” as it used to be.

In the spirit of “Global Switch Day”, I prepare my presence on other services, some of which are self-hosted yet federate further. This movement takes a stand to reduce the impact of Big Tech on our digital lives and, more presently, to limit the influence of US companies across the global stage. Conveniently, it can also counter authoritarian overreach occurring closer to home.

A change of perspective, but taking control has never been more vital.

Det var en meget skuffende “AI”-revolution

Her et par år inde i, hvad der er blevet opreklameret som den kunstige intelligens’ æra, kan vi nøgternt se i øjnene, at vi har lagt såvel søgeresultater som administrativt, intellektuelt og kreativt arbejde i hænderne på glorificerede men dybt fejlbehæftede stavekontroller.

Forfatteren Ted Chiang ser f eks ingen parallel til science fiction-genrens billeder af kunstig intelligens i det algoritmiske juks, vi får trukket ned over ørerne PT, men vælger at kalde det anvendt statistik. Det er dybest set Clippy v2, som står på spring for at foreslå at vi kommer en tube trælim i pizzasovsen, eller (ovre på det fhv Twitter) erklære sig selv en Mecha-Hitler.

For det er jo ikke alene varm luft, der driver værket, det er også grundlæggende fascistiske verdenssyn og æstetikker der spyttes ud af generative “AI”-modeller (jeg er i skrivende stund ikke parat til at slippe gåseøjnene omkring betegnelsen, der nok vil fortsætte med at være et hult postulat i mange år endnu). Og den opvarmede luft kommer ikke bare fra Microsoft, Google og OpenAI’s marketingsafdelinger, men i lige så høj grad fra de massive datacentre, hvis energiforbrug allerede er ved at æde de CO2-nedskæringer, der iflg Paris-konventionen er det absolutte minimum for at bevare en beboelig planet.

Der er altså ikke rigtig en forsvarlig brug af såkaldt “kunstige intelligens”, men det betyder ikke at den ikke bliver forsøgt brugt vidt og bredt, for nøj, hvor folk elsker en nem genvej til facit, selv når co-piloten styrer som den har kappet alle trosser til virkeligheden.

Så kom “AI”-teknologien for at tage vores jobs? Kun i det omfang, arbejdskøbere mener at de kan tolerere et markant kvalitetsfald i virksomheden. Men — og her når jeg endelig humlen af indlægget — tog den livet af Superkulturs T-shirtproduktion? Ja. Ja, det gjorde den.

Superkultur skulle jo fungere som en isoleret oase fra internettets store platforme, hvor alt lukker sig omkring den samme hjemmeside, med nogle få åbninger ud i RSS og det nogenlunde acceptable fødivers. Vores sidste(?) afhængighed af eksterne tjenester var tysk registrerede Spreadshirt, hvor vi gennem flere år har lagt egne tryk op til salg på T-shirts, kaffekopper og andet fjollet merch. Der var en del sparkedragter til babyer som gik usolgt hen!

18 august sendte Spreadshirt en mail ud til alle sine brugere, om en forestående justering af priser, samt et nyt “AI”-designværktøj, der giver kunder “mulighed for nemt at tilpasse markedspladsdesigns via prompts. Hvis dit design bliver redigeret i vores designer ved hjælp af AI-funktionen, får du naturligvis stadig den normale betaling for dit oprindelige design“.

Jo tak, du. Det er jo en ringe trøst, hvis kunder har bedt værktøjet om at smide en håndfuld hagekors oven i vores tryk. Som allerede nævnt er der en meget kort afstand fra almindelig clueless brug af “AI” til fascistiske budskaber, som får antallet af Youtube-anbefalinger før man sidder og kigger på en halshugning til at blegne. Selvsagt fór jeg til tastaturet for at spørge om, hvordan vi i Superkultur kan fravælge at medvirke i denne nyskabelse. Svaret er, at dette ikke kan lade sig gøre. Mit gensvar, som Spreadshirt PT ikke har svaret på, er:

Så har vi desværre et ophavsmæssigt problem, hvor Spreadshirt vælger at gøre vore designs tilgængelige i sammenhænge, vi ikke har givet eller kan give samtykke til, fordi vi ikke har kontrol over konteksten hvori vores originale motiver indgår.
Det her må I finde en løsning på, FØR I beslutter at implementere en buzzword-løsning som “AI”.

I al retfærdighed skriver Spreadshirt også i den oprindelige opdateringsmail, at man meget gerne må kontakte dem med indvendinger mod de nye regler og funktioner. Dette skal isf ske til en separat emailadresse fra deres support. For en sikkerheds skyld sendte jeg følgende besked på engelsk, men har heller ikke her fået svar endnu:

In response to your decision to make all sellers’ designs subject to “AI” alterations or customisations:

YOU MAY NOT INCLUDE SUPERKULTUR’S DESIGNS IN “AI” OFFERINGS.

Our designs are original IP and only made available in the understanding that they not be altered from the state and context in which they are offered, and on the products we have selected from Spreadshirt’s range.

We will not tolerate that our original designs be used in any way, shape or form as training material for “generative AI”, or in any way repurposed from the intended context by your “AI” tools.

For our longstanding position on the subject, we refer you to the product description for our Spreadshirt design “Butlersk Djihad“

Please respond at your earliest convenience that you have understood and will comply with these terms.

De er dog tydelige med, at indsigelse = opsigelse: “Hvis du gør indsigelse mod de nye kontraktbestemmelser inden for fristen, vil de eksisterende bestemmelser generelt fortsat gælde. Bemærk dog, at da vi ønsker at behandle alle vores partnere ensartet, forbeholder vi os derfor ret til at opsige kontraktforholdet med dig i overensstemmelse med bestemmelserne i Partnerbetingelserne“.

Så vi må gå ud fra, det var det for vores lille og langt fra profitable nebengesjæft med dybt indforståede T-shirtbudskaber for det superkulturelle folk. Men vi er langt fra de eneste med bekymringen overfor Spreadshirts maskinbegejstring. “AI”-kritikeren David Gerard har skrevet et overblik over situationen på Pivot to AI, med henvisning til et skønsomt udpluk af vrede reaktioner rundt om på nettet.

Det kan nærmest ikke betale sig at flytte vores designs over til en anden print-on-demand-udbyder, for senkapitalismen og Cory Doctorows mundrette enshittification-begreb dikterer ligesom at alle kommercielle platforme befinder sig et eller andet sted på skråplanet ned i “AI”-dyndet. Jeg skal i de nærmeste dage omdanne siden Supercouture & grej til et mindesgalleri over den merchandise som nu må leve et efterliv som ikkun JPEGs og lasede loppefund.

Som vi formulerede det i et ca fem år gammelt tryk:

Apparently GitHub will become part of Microsoft's "AI Team" [1]. Even reading the CEO's post about their departure reads like a fever dream. [2]

«I am more convinced than ever that the world will soon see one billion developers enabled by billions of AI agents»

I am not sure if it is even possible to have more mentions of "AI" in a single post. Those sillicon valley people are really out of their minds.

Over the years, platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, Twitter, and TikTok have changed—and not for the better. What started as places to connect and share have turned into profit-driven machines controlling your attention, data, and thoughts. This is called enshittification, and it’s affecting us all. It doesn’t have to be this way.

SpeakBits is trying to be different.

#CroudStrike is apparently now offering #BSOD as a service in a new bold #Enshittification #MalwareAsAService gambit.

Many years ago, I predicted that the Internet would eventually become "cable TV." which in many ways it has.

Now it seems that TV (which already sucks so hard it hurts) is going to get worse by becoming the Internet.

The enshittification is getting really deep, really fast.
