Alright, y’all. Follow-up on this poll as promised…

Creative Commons published it. Afterward they shared their perspective on AI vs CC content. In short, “to get a sense of the various views on this question, we launched a Twitter poll where nearly half of respondents said, ‘it depends.’ We agree.”

They made some questionable comments about it…

Oof

A copywriter talks about how her employment is changing

Now her job is helping companies recover from #AI drek they deployed on their websites. She frequently needs to rewrite the whole website

So our future is not employment to write copy/ code, but clean up AI disaster zones

It's Bastiat's "broken window" fallacy in #economics (the notion that breaking things stimulates the economy, but you're wasting your time treading water rather than making progress)

#Google needs to provide users on the Web, phones, and any other platforms a ONE BUTTON way to turn off ALL sharing of any and all user data or actions with #Gemini#AI -- and to completely delete Gemini from their devices.

No more of this bullsh*t confusion about global settings vs. app data, Gemini apps vs. Gemini settings and more. It's a total train wreck and I don't blame anyone for not understanding whether or not their data is going to Gemini, because I AM NOT SURE MYSELF on my own devices!

This is either gross incompetence on Google's part or is being done purposely to make it as difficult as possible for users to understand whether or not Gemini is interacting with them, either obviously or behind the scenes.

If Google won't do this on their own, there need to be laws to force them. Enough of this garbage and manipulation. ENOUGH!

"Enterprise adoption is only like 10 percent today," said Coleman. "McKinsey is saying it's a four trillion dollar market. How are you actually ever going to move that along if you keep releasing things that people don't know are safe to use or they don't even know not just the enterprise impact, but the societal impact?"

Are you still on #Spotify?

Spotify’s CEO Daniel Ek has raised €600M for his new startup, which is developing AI TECH FOR WAR. Ek still owns 9% of Spotify, but has 37% voting control. His net worth went from $2.5B to $10B in the last two years alone, on the back of paying musicians a pittance in royalties.

And don’t forget:

• Spotify spent $250M of your subscription dollars to invite Joe Rogan to spew his disinformation on their platform.
• They’re still trying to embrace and extinguish Podcasts.
• They’re developing in-house, AI-generated “music” so users will play them (royalty-free) instead of music created by humans (who demand royalty).

And now, he’s using his wealth, created by your subscriptions, to fund tech that will use AI to literally murder humans in war.

Stop funding him. Quit Spotify now.
