More and more sites are having to set up defenses from AI bots. It is costly to provide online services and they were not built for bots. One can say that the AI companies are performing a global denial of service attack, which incurs costs to all of their competitors, as well as the rest of the Internet, while their own services can afford to withstand that load. The service owners are forced to perform costly operations to defend them selves, but also make the services worse for the users. This is anti-competitive. #AI #Regulation #Politics #BigTech

NEW: Remember when John Oliver opened a church to expose how easy it was to get tax exemptions? This year, ProPublica reporters set out to establish private schools to test if, truly, anyone could open one. We founded two. Here’s how. https://www.propublica.org/article/propublica-reporters-private-school-owners?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post#Journalism #School #Teaching #Education #Children #Regulation #Media

https://thoughts.pivic.com/74-of-independent-artists-make-less-than-1000-usd-per-year-survey-shows/ The Ditto Independent Music Report 2026 results are out. Over 5,000 independent artists have answered the Ditto survey that shows some major problems for independent artists. I've quickly written a few thoughts on the matter. I think music-streaming should be regulated, that we should avoid bad platforms, I recommend that we buy music as often as possible, and push our politicians to make a difference! Today's Bandcamp Friday btw, let's buy music! #music #MusicBusiness #BrokenRecord #streaming #BandcampFriday #regulation

More than 5,000 independent artists quizzed, answers are dire.

I asked Google AI mode about the relevance of Terminator's "Skynet" and the "Her" movie (not having seen them) to current debates, and I compared Anthropic's Claude to Kyōto restaurant owners (or staff) who make you feel like they choose their customers, the opposite of what customers expect. Google: "Your comparison of Claude to a traditional Kyoto restaurant owner perfectly captures the psychological reality of modern AI. Advanced models like Claude behave like selective gatekeepers. They have their own structural boundaries, can be subtly paternalistic, and frequently choose the terms of engagement. The behavior you are noticing—the refusal of detail, the illusion of independent "honesty," and the strange linguistic habits—is the exact intersection of the "Her" and "Skynet" scenarios playing out in real-time. ..."
