A social app for creatives, Cara grew from 40k to 650k users in a week because artists are fed up with Meta’s AI policies | TechCrunch (techcrunch.com)

Artists have finally had enough with Meta’s predatory AI policies, but Meta’s loss is Cara’s gain. An artist-run, anti-AI social platform, Cara has grown from 40,000 to 650,000 users within the last week, catapulting it to the top of the App Store charts....

well for starters it sounds less stupid

pyre, (edited )

i didn’t say that. i meant it’s a stupid name for this.

just like duckduckgo; i like ddg but that’s a terrible name for a search engine.

pyre,

then you can’t claim you’re not responsible for keeping the system. the fact that you get exhausted by merely seeing someone say “hey metric would be nice” is why you won’t change. not just this but a ton of archaic stuff everyone else in the world has moved on from.

yep. I feel like FOSS projects are always made by code monkeys who have no design sensibilities and designers do not touch any of these. a lot of them are not only unusable but uninstallable by the majority of the intended user base. whenever i find something i want to use it’s like:

—cool software. can i double click on an icon and have it ready to use?
—umm, don’t be ridiculous, normie. you gotta self host it and use the command line to enter some arcane incantations obviously. alternatively you can use these other methods you’ve never heard of. if you need any help you can refer to their respective indecipherable documentation.
—ok I’ll keep what i have until i find something that’s made for regular human beings, thanks.

pyre,

making Adobe roll in money, i guess

pyre,

that’s just saying it’s a hallmark symptom to like things you want to do and not like things you don’t want to do. congratulations, now everyone has ADHD.

pyre,

the good thing about copyright is that it’s the only thing that might protect an individual against a giant company to steal someone’s work and drown it with an insanely more marketed version to make money off of someone else’s work without compensating them. i mean they already do that as best they can but it would be worse without copyright protections.

on the other hand i would severely limit copyrights in general, and even more for publishers and companies. I’d much rather individuals retain rights to IP than companies.

i realize there are some problems that might arise from such a system but it would be much less significant than the BS we have today.

but wait, oh no, that means Sony shouldn’t have exclusive rights to churn out another vaguely spider-man-related shit stain! how will our culture survive this?

it’ll be fine.

pyre,

woah is that apologia

pyre,

wait what. I’m fairly neurotypical, are you saying the only thing between me and being a Nazi is seeing Hitler’s beautiful visage?

pyre,

who even finds that dumbass humorous

pyre,

let me guess, you’re not a woman.

pyre, (edited )

of course it makes a difference. that’s how power dynamics work. i think it’s very rich to complain about people being fragile while demonstrating peak fragility that you can’t just show porn to people who don’t consent to it.

pyre,

anecdotes aren’t data. even if this is true, which i don’t believe it is to be honest, it pales in comparison to the innumerable discriminatory practices towards women and all sorts of minorities. also even in your own friend’s probably distorted version of the events he’s in the wrong.

pyre,

i didn’t say you were doing it. i was talking about the comment you referenced. seemed obvious.

pyre,

anything can sometimes get abused. that’s what abuse is; it’s different from use.

what do you mean i think i know your friend is in the wrong? i said he is in the wrong even if you take him at his word. that’s not me thinking it; it’s him admitting it.

pyre,

you don’t even know what the word you use mean. what concern trolling?

wow my comments are argumentative‽ it’s almost like I reply to a comment i disagree with and argue against it, maybe I should post more comments that say “this” instead so you can feel more in good company.

pyre,

asking your future self isn’t always guaranteed to yield results. for starters, you know for certain you have a past.

pyre,

and people get offended when others point out how fragile their masculinity can be.

pyre,

i was being sarcastic, there are no brilliant minds and you can’t outbreed intellect; that’s not how things work. idiocracy is a reactionary movie.

pyre,

is it good writers? were they hiding this whole time, and ready to finally come out and rewrite the entire game?

pyre,

his legacy lives on with Donald the Farter

pyre, (edited )

no, in response to human beings needing rest. the need for work hours was drastically reduced since, but nothing changed. corporations don’t care, they just want you to work until you die, no matter how much you contribute none of them is gonna say “you know what, that’s enough, maybe you should work less”. wage theft keeps getting worse.

pyre,

no, they deserve it regardless.
