It seems like a good way to make a thing successful is to turn it into a borderline cult, but IMO manipulating people to do stuff for your ends is unethical.
So many crypto adjacent things act like cults. A lot of language trying to foster identity with the projecr / others as an oppositional out group. Lots of information control around what to focus on. And lastly draining vulnerable people of their funds and energy once they're sucked in.

Hey so I'm sure ya'll have seen the hubbub about it, but in case you haven't:
The Honey extension actively steals affiliate revenue from the creators that you use links from whenever you search for coupons with them.
It does this by replacing the affiliate code your creator uses with their own affiliate code.
Also the company is owned by PayPal.
This movie would have been so much better as a cartoon in general. Seeing a grown ass woman say "Sonic did nothing wrong" with no goof factor like it's real drama deals me massive cringe damage. She played her role great but the tone of the movie is all over the place
The live action sonic the hedgehog movies would be so much better without the asshole cop character. Like he's so unlikeable and so unfunny and interrupts the flow of sonic and robotnik doing their thing.

@dansup Might be relevant for loops, tiktok open sourced its recommendation algo. https://github.com/bytedance/monolith
@gyro personally I'm just kinda pissed that the setting lacks style. The cults aren't wearing cool robes with funky sigils and the cities are sorely lacking neon and funky hair styles. 😿
It's pretty cool how we're in the timeline where corporations are buying nuclear reactors to feed their machine gods as humanity dives into global extinction

This feeling of alienation, it is a kind of overwhelming feeling of drowning in something that keeps greeting you like it knows you, but really it can't see you at all. Instead it seeks to reshape you into what it expects you to be with with its gaze.
These things probably make me more upset than I ought to let them.
But it's hard not to see it this way.
Neat, lattice based cryptography visualized.

Dyslexics have used speech recognition to solve spelling issues ever since speech recognition became available. It used to be standalone speech recognition, not "calling back" to servers that were harvesting your vocabulary, writing, and voice to train AI.
But it was a fight to get speech recognition in schools, in the workplace. Why? Because of ableism. Temporarily "free" genAI founded on stolen data doesn't solve #ableism.

The tech titans of today are products of the industrial-capitalist mindset.
They think in terms of market dominance, shareholder value, and control.
Even their grand visions-- like Musk’s Mars colonization or Zuck’s metaverse-- are often tainted by a top-down approach that centralizes power and perpetuates inequality.
Stay human. Stay collaborative. You aren’t building empires, you’re building ecosystems.
