@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 I've been procrastinating on cancelling my MacStories subscription for a minute, so this was a helpful push
@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 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?
@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?
