@risike It definitely is still there. They undeleted the content, which thankfully wasn't a lot because they've always been gatekeeping asshats over there. My account is still there too as they completely ignored my GDPR request.
The only 100% sure thing here is that I will never contribute an iota of content to that site ever again. Exploitation is definitely a deal breaker.
Inntil det kommer en botaniker og forteller meg at "well, actually" så kommer jeg til å bli oppgitt hver gang dette grasset folk får av å plante upoppa popcorn kalles popcorngress. Mais. Maisplanten gir oss popcornet. Planter du frøa til maisplanten får du mais.
Du får ikke guacamole-gress ved å plante en avocadostein.
@atlefren Ja, jeg må si jeg skjønte ingenting av hva de snakket om i Nrk sin artikkel om "popcorngress". Hadde et eneste stort "hæh?"-øyeblikk. Ble litt klarere da det sto på slutten at de mente maisplante. Jeg tror definitivt ikke de gjorde artikkelen lettere å skjønne med det der ...

@blabberlicious It's always good to keep in mind that Altman is also the guy behind the Worldcoin crypto scam/grift. Everything he does is a money grab, and he doesn't seem to care about the consequences of his actions.
@futurebird I've have asked a few times if I can have the old player sitting in a storage room at my mom's house, but even though it hasn't been used in decades, I haven't been able to talk her into giving it to me yet. 😁
@Natanox@PierreM@thomasfuchs They ignored my GDPR request, even though they stated in their reply that the posts were mine by license.
(GDPR applies to Norwegians too.)
Edit: The main issue here is that you can't actually delete an account, only delete profiles for the various sites. That's likely the main GDPR violation. In any case, they ignored it.
I feel the same way about AI that I did about crypto when it started becoming a thing:
• All of the moral practices that make it possible are fucked beyond repair.
• It’s spawning some of the worst companies, and enriching some of the worst billionaires in the world.
• While there are some genuinely useful, practical applications for it, there are so few of them, and they have had so little positive impact so far, that it doesn’t even seem like it’s going to be worth it anytime soon.
@skydog@oldguycrusty@nileane@sigmund Agreed. I've worked a bit with ML, and followed it for years. It's very useful tech, with a lot of known limitations and issues.
The current boom of generative "AI" (which isn't AI at all) is largely a money grab and stock bubble at the expense of privacy and energy, and a boom to fraud and misinformation at a time in our history where it can do a lot of social damage. As if the tech bros ever cared about the consequences.
