OK, real talk.

Telegram makes big proclamations about privacy, but their promises are mostly marketing.

The app collects a huge amount of data. And like all Big Tech, when pressed by governments, they ultimately comply.

This is why Signal goes to great lengths to NOT collect any data about you -- something that is ironically more expensive and more complex.

We do it because it's the only way to ensure we keep our privacy commitments to the people who rely on us.♥️

On va le répétéer : ChatGPT et les autres I.A., c'est pas magique. Il y a des armées de travailleurs sous-payés qui passent leur temps à corriger l'I.A. pour éviter qu'elle dise trop de conneries ou trop d'horreurs.
C'est ENCORE une technologie de la Silicon Valley qui marche grâce à l'exploitation de gens sous-payées et traités comme de la merde.
Comme Uber, comme Uber Eat, comme Amazon, comme la modération de tous les GAFAM (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok...).

@curiousmind @kepano A crucial part of genuine understanding is understanding the limits of your own understanding, and of what you know and can know.

de gaulle truly is the french churchill. complete with the colonial abuse and racism

@kepano I wish I had infinite time and patience to study every problem I don't understand that I'm trusting someone else to handle for me. Human civilization was built on trusting each other (within reasonable limits) after all.
This is not to say that one shouldn't try to reduce their dependency on others when it's possible and reasonably safe.

@kepano I'm not sure if I understood this article correctly, but no one can be an expert in every aspect of his life. For example, you can try to read about diseases and treatments, but that cannot replace the expertise of doctors. Heck, even a doctor has to consult another doctor when it's outside of their expertise.

The thing is that #RSS is the best. Social media sites don't like RSS because it breeds independence. Which is exactly why #creators should be using and *promoting* RSS. You can whine about the #algorithm or you can work on freeing your self from its clutches.

#SCOTUS has blocked a settlement that would protect the billionaire owners of a pharmaceutical firm from being sued for deaths caused by #opioids . Under the deal, the #Sackler family would be shielded from legal liability. Their company, #Purdue Pharma, would emerge from bankruptcy as a different entity, and pay $6 billion to fight America's opioid epidemic. The Biden admin objects to the agreement. #OxyContin Overdoses of painkillers like #OxyContin are blamed for tens of thousands of deaths
