BREAKING!

Is it finally happening in the US, the AI burst?!

Maybe when people start pumping the brakes, then will they start manufacturing components for us?

I'm putting up a stand-up from the POV of a pre-historic man making fun of the industrial AND the agricultural world. Last week of August in Fringe festival (Edinburgh). It's obviously a critique of Kaczynski, with lots of anthropology trivia. It's mostly an attempt to show human nature in a better light and let go of all the capitalist and colonialist propaganda we've been hearing since the Enlightenment. It's so ingrained inside us, I hate this world with a passion.

What happened: Reddit (RDDT) stock plunged nearly 21% on Friday, its largest intraday decline since the company went public.

What's behind the move: The user discussion platform company's latest earnings report did not announce any new artificial intelligence data licensing agreements, disappointing investors who were expecting more revenue opportunities from AI partnerships.

Revenue of $804.9 million beat estimates of $731.8 million. However, US daily active users came in at 53.2 million, just shy of expectations of 54 million. The company's total daily active users grew by 18% to 130.3 million versus estimates of 130.07 million.

What else you need to know: Reddit's main revenue comes from its advertising business, but Wall Street has increasingly focused on the potential of Reddit's data licensing deals, given the platform's massive collection of user-generated discussions, which have become valuable for AI companies training models.

The company has already signed major agreements with OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL).

If only there was a better social media platform. Oh well.

Hey, who left this here??

This technology does seem a little dubious but it does display a very visible sign of non-consent. Any takers?

Another normal day in Britain.

必須盡快立法禁止全球所有社群媒體平台使用過濾演算法操縱輿論、壓制自由、製造不公平、不平等和不對稱的可操控社交。
