Actually there is.

AI is a tool like others.

Now the AI hype (centered on the USA) is an ugly scam, but luckily it seems to lose a bit steam. Or as I call it the times of free handouts from your drug dealer are coming to an end. Claude code has been dropped from pro, max users suddenly running out of quota. GitHub stopping signups and rumours that they want charge by the token.

Three good times where the bullshit machines were free are coming to an end.

Now, the cool thing about the internet is that if you want to publish things that works (or worked) perfectly fine without these so called platforms.

That are more or less a for of digital leeches sucking money out of the economy.

So no I don't see the value here beside that they've captured nowadays most content, so one is forced to deal with them.

things. And are shocked that email can be provided by something else then Google, outlook or Apple. On which of these is our email hosted I was asked. I had to explain very slowly that we are on the small option "other".

The really odd thing is it's not the oldies that nowadays are a problem, it's the youngsters, we literally had a complaint today about the PIM/office suite we use, our CEO nicely played that one. He's open to all proposals for alternatives from a company headquartered in the EEA for legal reasons.

Interestingly the C level has no problem IMAP, and accessing the calendar over CalDAV. But the youngsters have never heard of these @kkarhan @momo @badkeys @BNetzA @EUCommission

@Bebef
It's probably not, some countries have really tough laws that they apply to email delivery and privacy that makes even spam filtering a legally dicey proposition

But let me put it like this, who wants to sue a company that has a legal budget bigger than the whole government budget of some of the poorer EU MS?

And in the end as long as the users won't start moving their fat posteriors away from the big tech monopolies, ...

That was crackable with private entity resources decades ago.

That's not even funny.

@blabberlicious
Now can they prove that it's not so?

Sounds totally plausible ChatGPT behaviour to me.

Although that kind of explosive recipes are normally associated more with Gemini.
