The only way to slow down this corporatization of the technology isn't to completely shun it and demonize it. That just plays right into their hands with an "us vs them" narrative.

No, you have to push for open-sourcing the tech as hard as you can. The few open-source tools that have come out of this AI boom has the large corporations running scared that they aren't going to be able to make money out of those sectors.

No SQL, block chain, crypto, metaverse, just to name a few recent examples.

AI is overhyped, but it is, so far, more useful than any of those other examples, though.

Yep, Twitch isn't for me because YouTube has these braindead basic features already.

Nebula is a gated community, and they don't let enough people in. It is far from the definition of "You" Tube.

This is classic gish gallop. Downvote and move on.

So, what are you gonna do? Switch search engines? Most of the population don't even think there's a choice.

People tend to forgot the millions of years of horribly inefficient evolution it took to develop the human brain.

Microsoft is big enough that government would force them to pay up. There is just too much public pressure for that kind of disaster to get waved away.

Also, there are nuclear options that are far safer than water-based reactors. WCRs are literally the worst possible design for a nuclear reactor, and we were stupid enough to choose that over dry material reactors in the 60s.

Getting on one of those things before you're ready is almost as bad as suddenly stopping. My wife broke her arm after trying to show my son how it works, and I know co-workers with similar stories, including head injuries.

Immediately took the damn thing back. This is just the 2020s version of lawn darts.
