In order to use any service provided by Meta one has to already have their head in the sand and pants around their ankles.
Asking for mindfulness in the face of the latest "moral dilemma" posed by Meta is simply not something the user base seems capable of.
I hate to say it and sound like I'm defending them, but here we go.
As a gigging musician in the Philippines, Meta apps like Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger are some of the most important social media platforms to promote my work and to connect to potential clients.
I hate Meta and I hate that I have no choice on the Meta AI shit they've rolled out. But worse of all, I hate that I have no choice but to use Meta for my livelihood. There's just no alternative.
how did gigging musicians musically gig before social media?
They got gigs by connections! Same is still true today. Personal connections get you the gig.
But in the before times, no one had social media. Nowadays everyone has it and is almost a necessity for a musician to get their voice and music out there. You're losing out if you don't have a "portfolio" through your socmed accounts.
Fair point.
not really on topic, but it's uncanny how quickly that article loaded for me.
goddamn that actually was pretty fast
That's what happens when you care about web performance
Seriously
There’s no moral dilemma. It’s just pure moral compromise.
Not really, everyone who uses generative AI is either aware and doesn't care or doesn't care to be aware.
you just lumped literally every single person in together
So does openai whats ur point?
