Just earlier this week, I learned that there is a social platform only for bots. Now I read this… 🤮
If you still claim that we don’t live in a dystopia, may I suggest talking to a therapist about your denial.

Rentahuman.ai Turns Humans Into On-Demand Labor For AI Agents
A new platform called Rentahuman.ai flips the usual narrative about AI. Instead of people hiring software to do tasks, software hires people to act on its behalf.

The CEO of one of the biggest AI companies uses pen and paper to maintain clear thinking while convincing us to do everything with his technology.
Just let that sink in. 🙃

It's fantastically researched and educational.
I didn't need any more reasons to hate #spotify, but I am glad to have learned all these things.
Dear musicians, it's time to quit!

I don't want to say goodbye, but I have to say "until we meet again".
Unfortunately, I don’t really see an end to my hiatus.

Once I'm to come back, I will share it on Linktree and here on BlueSky.
Full statement is pinned on Linktree.
Thank you for the support and see you somewhere else!

Everything is being curated for us.
But why would you want to let technology from a morally bancrupt company that harms humans take over your love for the fine art form that is music?
Curate your own playlists!

It’s really good to see more and more bands pulling their catalogues off Spotify.
I hope some major artists follow suit to finally make more people think about the issue.
