Yes, its a bit petty, but I can’t feel like this is not a “oh, no, consequences of my actions” moment.
Use a machine, which was trained on the stolen knowledge and art of the whole of humanity? Yes, please.
Then feel the pain when the corpos scrape your data? No. None of that.
Nobody would scrape websites that hard, if people would not use generative AI.
Guess where the data came from to train these models?
Okay, I’m gonna make myself very unpopular here, but I feel like they got what was coming for them. I think nobody should feel bad for them.
Popular figure heads of the kernel and the linux foundation itself embraces and uses generative AI. (For code & graphics).
They lost their right to complain about scrapers, when then started using the result of them in my opinion.
(It is also quite ironic that the author of this blogpost has an AI pfp on his fedi profile.)
Just wait until you hear his other (political) takes.
It gets even worse.
Only tangetally related, but I’m still gonna drop it here:
Voyager made this website and probably added these URLs as supported links.
I am not on voyager, but on thunder and it does not work, since there links are not the standard share link. I tested using normal links in a comment and it works there.
So while in theory Thunder could add support for these Links, I really just whished that Voyager would stop advertising themselves whenever somebody shares a link with their client.
The actions of Voyager seem malicious; no other Lemmy (or mastodon client) that I know of does not directly link to the post in question and rather just advertises itself like an adfly page.
Sorry to be like this, but what is this link?
I get redircted outside of my Lemmy App (because it is a 3rd party URL) and then get advertised a Lemmy client, which I don’t even like, only for its page to only show a preview and in order to actually view the linked post I have to open the original WebUI of the Lemmy instance linked on the advertising page of voyager?
And it got the balls to tell me that its the best experience?
What the fuck Voyager??
This is what finally pushed me to move all coding I can away from Jetbrains products. I wanted to to that for a while, because I didn’t want to depend on a closed system and wait until it enshitified. Now it happened. Sad to see, but it was inevitable.
Its all about the time / percentage ratio.
9pm & 10% => completely fine
1pm & 10% => deranged psychopath
