Mike McCaffreyI find myself in complete disagreement with <a href="https://drupal.community/tags/EdZitron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EdZitron</a> for the very first time.

Tuckers Nuts Resist! 🇺🇦 🧵 2/2 "They’re all fully capable of uniting around an ideal — it’s just that said ideal exists entirely to automate human beings out of the picture, and even more offensively, it doesn’t seem to be able to do so, and the more obvious that becomes, the more obvious the powerful’s hunger becomes for a world where they never see or talk to us, and they get all of our money and attention."--Ed Zitron <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Ai</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/EdZitron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EdZitron</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Enshittification</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TuckersBalls" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TuckersBalls</a>

Tuckers Nuts Resist! 🇺🇦 🧵 1/2 "What’s particularly horrifying about the AI bubble is that it’s shown that when they decide to, big tech can put hundreds of billions behind whatever the fuck they want.

Guill.Jones, Honorary Canadian"There was a time this didn’t suck, when it wasn’t a struggle to do basic things, when my world was not a constant war with my god damn apps, when things weren’t necessarily turn-key but my phone wasn’t randomly burning through half of its battery life in an hour and a half because one app on the App Store is poorly configured.

Tuckers Nuts Resist! 🇺🇦 🥥 "I am bombastic and frankly a little much today, and was the literal opposite less than 5 years ago, and I was even more reserved 10 years before that.
