Double checked, and now it looks like I’ve got a referral cookie somehow. $300 is probably easy to get if you click through from anyone promoting it.
But if I open the join page in an incognito session, the price is $500.
I’m learning a lot about Mozilla’s ethics today.
It sounds like you and your friend believe they are outmoded. Anthropic is not just a toolmaker, they host the thing that was used to decide to kill children, and its CEO Dario Amodei has expressed desire to continue building war weapons.
In retrospect, do you and your friend believe that the product made by a homophobe such as Brendan Eich is just a tool too?
What makes you think your article makes Anthropic look any less meager or perverse (respectively) in the two articles I provided?
@[email protected] thoughts, now that you read this? I hope you and your friend don’t turn a blind eye. Mozilla’s ethical stance is important.
A better phrase probably would have been “your experience.” If you don’t use playlists that Spotify wants you to listen to, you might not notice these issues. I used to prefer Spotify for exploratory reasons, so this is a massive disappointment to me.
A lifetime subscription ($
500$300*) is roughly the price of1710 yearly subscriptions ($30). How many years do you think Nebula will remain as good as it is now? You should probably think of some of that money as being a donation and not a guaranteed product.For some people, that’s probably fine. The service might have given them $300 worth of value already, so buying it’s a no-brainer.
* with any(?) referral link, see comments below
Not downvoting because your opinions are your own, but Spotify has been trying to worsen your experience. Lately they’ve been allowing AI-generated content on their platform, and before that they were hiring “ghost bands” to keep royalty money away from legitimate artists.
There were a couple of things on that page that were novel to me. “Only a couple” made it worthwhile though:
- There’s a free tier to a service that gives you geolocation data from an IP address
- This site counts the number of times you move to a different tab
Compare this to Google’s homepage, which is clean, wholesome, friendly, and inviting.
(I don’t mind sites that try to scare the user straight, but this one definitely has the unmistakable tinge of AI-generated wording. Make a sense if you click through the links at the bottom to see who created it.)
Why do you think that?
Were you thinking of this instead?
The amount of Claude Mythos disinformation pushed by MSM is crazy.
One Big Tech company blasts small websites with nonconsensual AI data scraping, while another Big Tech company offers protection… as long as they can watch everybody interact with your site.
Mafia-esque.
To add to this: Fitbit is a Google company. The average user makes Google $1605 a year, and that (wide-ranging) number probably goes up with a fitness tracker!
Only 35% of voters now say they would be comfortable with a new data center in their community, down from 69% in 2023. Support for state tax breaks for data centers also fell from 61% to 37% over the same period.
37% of people still support what now?
Surah 104. Al-Humazah
Woe to every slanderer backbiter.
Who gathers wealth and counts it over.
Thinking that his wealth has made him immortal.
By no means. He will be thrown into the Crusher.
I know it’s basically impossible to say someone isn’t in a religion (much to the chagrin of many a devout and reasonable religious person), but this surah is so specifically against this guy in particular.
Definitely self-described at most.
He runs other accounts dedicated to sharing Quran verses and Islamic teachings. One features the Kaaba holy site in Mecca as its profile picture. He uses the title “Hafiz” before his name, an honorific reserved for those who have memorised the entire Quran.
That’s a testable assertion that was untested, so using that name for one account while spreading hate on another makes me very disinclined to think “oh these are his real beliefs.”
Would he have any moral or ethical concerns about promoting a tool that was used to legitimize killing in children in Iran?
@[email protected] if you’re going to interact, please remember that you were accepted by the Firefox fan community as a spokesperson for your Mozilla employee friend. How deeply are you and friend burying your heads? Surely your ethics hasn’t degenerated into no longer believing the thing you said a few hours ago, I hope.
