They won’t.

Things that are “worth it” are comfortable and slow and don’t bring stupid numbers for the spread sheet want fest.

Because we have reached some sort of critical mass of ad blocking and anonymization online, enough that it’s starting to hurt the bottom line, so they need a solid way to track people for that shit.

Also, the US is currently being run by a rabid pack of puritan Christo fascists, ie Project 2025. Right now it’s “protect the children”, but ultimately the idea is to track and sensor and “reeducate” people.

“Oh, you search for ‘signs I am gay’? Better report to God Camp.”

Don’t even think about trying to be anything that does not fit in the box.

Just 3D print some adaptors.

Yeah, checkers are so slow. Self checkout lets you slam everything across in like 5 seconds, swipe, leave.

Easy.

I mean, you can make a new/second account.

Then there are psychos like me who use both, and Bluesky, and other social media and have a personal blog.

The local models thing is the real threat. For what 90% of the world who actually cares and wants AI, a local model is probably already “good enough”. Or would be if they could get the hardware, or maybe they don’t know how to set one up.

I don’t mind the articles, what I mind is annoying though.

This is paragraph two where I reiterate that I am just annoyed by the actual annoying thing.

This is the third paragraph, where I reiterate that I don’t mind articles, again, then remind you that I am annoyed by something else.

This is the seventh paragraph, down at the bottom of the page, where I finally mention my real annoyance is that they don’t make their point until the bottom because they want to get you to read all the repetitive nonsense before hand.

This is the last paragraph, because I know you will scroll to the bottom looking for the true answer, and I need to hide it, like a reverse of the lead up.
