@the1dlcguy @billyjoebowers It wouldn't. I'd rather we stop giving traffic and engagement to harmful platforms.

@billyjoebowers yet

Ethically, I don't feel there's much difference between having an account on Truth Social and having an account on X at this point.

If you wouldn't create an account on Truth Social, perhaps it's time to finally delete your account on X.

If you use generative AI to write or re-write your text, it's not your content anymore, it's someone else's content.

️ If you use generative AI to generate an image, it's not your art anymore, it's someone else's art.

If you use AI to summarize an email and only read the summary, you are reading someone else's email now, and not the original sender's email.

AI isn't magical. It comes from somewhere, and it was built on other's content. That's what it's feeding back to you.

#NoAI

If you use an AI-generated image for your article/post, this indicates to me you might have also used AI-generated text.

If you use AI-generated text for your article/post then:

1- I have no idea if you verified the veracity of any claimed facts.

2- I have no idea what your own voice is.

3- I have no idea if this truly expresses your own views, and if you even cared to read it.

4- I have no idea what your intention is with this, other than exploiting my attention and clicks with the least amount of efforts on your part.

5- This shows me you have no respect at all for the labour that was stolen to build these tools, exploiting millions of artists and writers to make billions of dollars without any compensation to them whatsoever.

Why would I want to engage with any content like that?

• I don't want to communicate with a machine (I can do that by myself).

• I don't want to participate in this disgusting exploitation of artists and writers.

• And I want to communicate with another human, of course.

If your intention isn't to communicate with another human, then stop deceiving them making them think they are

I really wish everyone would stop making fun of the people they don't like based on their physical appearance.

We really need to collectively grow up from this high-school bully mindset.

When you use appearance instead of ideas and behaviors to criticize someone, even someone deserving mockery, you are also shooting at everyone who might look like them, even the ones that might be incredibly good people.

There is more than enough content to talk against when it comes to the tyrants that currently surround us. Talk against their ideas, their words, and their actions. Be relentless for that. But their physical appearance is irrelevant to their moral deficiencies.

Mock their words, but not their looks.

Be very mindful about the content you consume online.

You might think you are above its negative influence on your mood and thoughts, but you aren't. Nobody is.

The content you consume influences the way you think overtime. Even if you are on a platform to fight the opposition, what the algorithm is feeding you there will have an influence on yourself overtime.

Be careful what you feed to your brain.

Normalize doing this: This software/feature is good, this software/feature is finished.

From now on, we will continue fixing security vulnerabilities and updating for compatibility, but that's it. The buttons will stay the same, because this is doing the job well already. Now, we start another software/feature.
