I avoid big tech as much as possible - they're the ones that can do real damage with your data. I'd leave the internet if it wasn't required for many things these days.
Yes because it's about you specifically. They also have your browser fingerprint so they'll recognize you when you show up on another account or another website they're associated with. This has great potential for censorship, subtle manipulation, denial of services and tying in to digital ID.
Posting on this forum is one of the most unnecessary activities there is. You think your data is any safer here?
Again this applies to every fan activity on the internet, not AI specifically. So your message is to stop participating in anything on the internet. I disagree.
This isn't a big tech platform and I take measures to reduce surveillance by this website and the personal data I put out. I use platforms like this to spread awareness of the dangers of technology.
The world would in fact be a much better place if everyone stopped participating in the internet. Imagine all the people freed from porn addiction, social media addiction, depression, anxiety, echo chambers, unrealistic expectations and retarded ideologies, and think of all the benefits people would get from renewed interest in local communities, clubs, churches, social events, books, retaining knowledge (instead of relying on Google) and so on.
You know I don't use a big tech platform to generate AI either, right?
I would argue social media is the bogeyman, not the internet. Regardless, if you simply avoid the internet as much as possible then you're kneecapping your reach and influence, which you seem to understand.
Which AI did you use?
Yes the internet enables greater reach and that's why I use it. But like nuclear weapons it would be better if none of us had it. My message is that we should collectively agree to abandon these technologies that are bad for us all but we are incentivized to use by everyone else using them. Of course we can't expect everyone to do that at once, but it can start with parallel societies that do it and grow.
In addition to the problems I mentioned greater reach is also unnatural and most of us aren't disciplined enough to handle it. Fame messes people up and so even does great reach with anonymity. This is a problem with all media online and offline, not just social media. Furthermore because a single writing/recording can be viewed/heard millions of times, this results in most people consuming much more input than the output they produce, but our output is supposed to be close to our input.
