@nileane He might as well write “Today, I need attention more than morals”
@nileane This sucks so fucking much.
I don't even know which is the most fitting adjective here. hypocrite? gross? spineless?
@nileane and let’s not forget, crap taste in music
@nileane I miss when they all hated AI.
@nileane AI psychosis?
@nileane Dude’s AI heel turn predicated all this. So sad.
@nileane It’s been like that for a while, in all fairness. Unsubscribed a while back, from everything V-related.
I almost didn't notice this
@nileane who is this guy again?
@nileane needs that grok csam creator i guess
so it's a company decision
It's interesting to see that *this* was his stance, just a year and a half ago.
That stance earned him a peak of new subscribers at the time, but now I suppose he's looking for a new peak, over there on the nazi platform.
@nileane torching two different strongly worded public statements at the same time would almost be impressive if it weren’t so gross … "The thieves may be well-funded, and their misdeeds wrapped in a cloak of clever technology, but it’s still theft and must be stopped.” https://www.macstories.net/stories/ai-companies-need-to-be-regulated-an-open-letter-to-the-u-s-congress-and-european-parliament
@nileane time to say goodbye to them I think been getting an ick feeling for the last year as they churn out AI tools and relatively pointless articles - this seals it.
@nileane honestly I’ve been feeling jaded about Macstories ever since Federico started spruiking AI constantly, and this is just a final nail in the coffin tbh
@nileane Really disappointing, and I assume zero heads up to contributors?
@odin I've not contributed to the site in a while, but fwiw no I wasn't made aware
@nileane @avakining This week’s challenge: go independent (kidding, sort of)
@nileane This is so sad and disheartening. When https://www.macstories.net/stories/macstories-wont-stand-for-metas-dehumanizing-and-harmful-moderation-policies/ was posted last year, I was so happy to see MacStories taking such a clear stance, and started financially supporting them.
I would really like to know what caused such a big change.
@nileane This makes me sad on multiple levels…. 😔. I knew MacStories and Federico might come to this but I didn’t expect them to do it.
@nileane So, if X has been moving in the wrong direction back then, does this mean it's going in the right direction now? I guess it's telling that there's no article on their return and they keep it a secret, no X logos on the site either (yet). Do they hope no one notices? They sure enough don't want to have the cake, but still eat it.
@nileane Well, apparently it's just really, really important to speak and listen to the people at the Nazi bar.
@nileane Definitely gross. Ugh.
@nileane Why not all 3?
