@nileane and I didn’t want to say this, as I thought all the subscribers were happy.
They post only about AI in club macstories, I am not interested.
It’s too much, every newsletter is filled with AI bullshit.
Yeah not a fan
@nileane well, atleast us followers should have been notified atleast? On Mastodon, just a basic simple post.
@nileane this tweet is very certainly written by a llm despite what they say.
@josh9 fueron el medio número 1 para mi. Desde hace mucho tiempo ya ni les sigo, solo sigo a Basic Apple Guy. Desde que no me entero de nada de la actualidad no me siento todo el dia enfadado con la marca. Por curiosidad, ¿qué medios sigues?
@nileane I unfollowed them here a while back before this as their AI grift was already becoming tiresome. Other Apple blogger / podcasters accounts are also being unfollowed for similar reasons.
Either way. Someone I follow here posting to the Nazi Bar is an immediate unconditional unfollow.
Fuckers care only about clicks and impressions not community.
@nileane I think it’s great that you’re calling them out. Lots of respect.
The shift to AI stories has been incredibly disappointing to see and now this just makes it way worse.
@nileane everyone is free to make their choices, but I guess my admiration for Federico’s achievements, already declining after his constant dedication to AI, ends here
@nileane "wherever they are" is such an interesting stance. It implies there's no place they wouldn't go? Or there is, but twitter is on the tolerable side of the line? So where does that put the line?
@nileane "I do not use AI for writing. The friction is the job" - that's 100% straight from the llms mouth.
@jaredwhite @nileane 🤷 Possible he's just so brain rotten from using Codex he's just learned to write like it. Actually seen that happen with people on my team, really sad
@nileane The MacStories AI pivot has been sad to watch, and this feels like the natural conclusion. Gross.
@nileane This hurts and I don't even know these people. Can only begin to imagine how you must feel about it 😔✊🏽
@nileane MacStories was once my favourite tech site (and how I started following you) Genuinely upsetting to see this, if not surprising given how it's been abandoning the principles that used to make it so great
@nileane Disappointing, but not surprising.
Anyway, your writing probably was the last thing I truly enjoyed on the website.
@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.
