Are there any alternatives to #LinkedIn now that they’re pushing harder and harder for ID verification of their users?

Honestly with the utter shit content on the platform, I’d probably just abandon my account there.

four levers to fight #enshittification:

• bring back antitrust laws
• better regulation of tech business
• tech workers must unionize
• interoperability is a must (required by law)

As a teacher, I vastly prefer #slopocalypse to #enshittification because swear words present problems in my line of work. I can't host a conversation about #enshittification with middle school students.

Or rather I can but we'd need to call it something else. It's not a huge deal, and I think the swear word is ... valid in this context. It's a valid response to what has happened to much of the internet.

But, it does present a needless barrier.

This is an excellent video. This is the message. Perhaps we need to refine it more. Find ways to communicate it more clearly. But this is the correct take on LLMs, so-called-AI and the proliferation of these tools to the general public. #LLM #llms #ai #genAI #video #slop #slopocalypse #enshittification

I’ve been following @pluralistic for a while, but I’ve never seen him interviewed. This was absolutely captivating. Truly. There were like fifteen bites I wanted to capture.

Cory is super smart. And his brain seems to work at the same speed my ADHD brain does, which helps me absorb what he’s saying.

(Pro tip: watch in DuckDuckGo, @invidious, or @FreeTube to avoid tracking.)
