A recent study published in the journal “Environmental Science & Technology Letters” has found that many popular smartwatch bands contain high levels of toxic “forever chemicals” known as PFAS. These chemicals are used in many products, from cookware to clothing, because they make things non-stick or water-resistant. The problem is, they don’t break down in the environment and can build up in our bodies over time. This can lead to some pretty serious health problems like cancer, immune system issues, and even developmental problems in kids.

“But H20 is a chemical!” /s

AI is probably making that a little harder though.

I’ve had good luck as a back up to Duck Duck Go with Mojeek. It’s so old school, it doesn’t always know what you want, but I sometimes want that.

They’re doing it to sell to companies to sell positive opinions and politics from “real” people.

Metaverse tells me that he doesn’t understand kids or market trends.

I don’t think people are getting that they are going to sell this as a service to corporations. Kind of like selling positive feedback on Amazon if Amazon did or does that. They’re not trying to boost numbers, but sell people saying what the company wants them to say. This can be anything from politics to buying a certain product.

They’re the ones buying it.

I agree he’s a weirdo, but this isn’t engagement per se, it’s to make money. If someone seems legit and is saying how awesome a product is, people will buy stuff. Meta will create a persona for businesses for a price. Meta wouldn’t let people go rogue and create their own, they want to sell the service.

Yep, happened to me. They’re evil. They own Venmo too btw.

Right, like I did. They’re safeguarding Disney and other places like that now. It’s just the little guys who get screwed.

We’re not talking about grandpa and grandma renting out their extra home: Meet the Billionaire Investors Behind the US Housing Affordability Crisis

It already has taken tons of graphic jobs. Also look up Graphite by IBM, it’s advertising to companies to hire them to do their code. Which would be taking code jobs. I kind of think people don’t understand how it’s going to be taken as far as it can be taken by these corporations. If half the populace loses their jobs, they just don’t care. I really don’t get on who they think is going to be all of these products and services if no one has jobs, but their following quarter might be better.

Treating everyone equally as well as accepting people for who they are, which are both antithetical to the progressive worldview, are core tenets of the Christian faith, and I’ve been a Christian for nearly as long as I can remember

Not sure I understand what you’re saying, I think you’re implying that you’re more Christian than anyone because you’re antiwoke? Woke just means that you honor everyone’s history. That seems pretty old school Christian to me. Ya know, the golden rule and all.

Yikes man, when did you go antiwoke? That’s a weird space I don’t get. I’ve never met an antiwoke person that wasn’t really, really racist. I’m not around them long.

But I think it’s also fair to point out that most anti-woke people don’t use slurs at all.

Hmmm, do you know a lot of antiwoke people or you just don’t use slurs? That’s a weird statement.

Avatar the Last Airbender was owned by Nickelodeon at the time of the movie, what’s your point? The creators of the movie Barbie rebranded it to what made tons of money.

Did you see the movie? It wasn’t really showing Mattel in the best light. I was surprised they let it go through.

I think it’s like Avatar the Last Airbender, they don’t want the movie being made without the original creators. The live action on Netflix did a great job with the mood of the locations and hiring the actors, everything else is pretty bad. They don’t want to see all their work bastardized. I get it.

So you spent 10 years on a personal song about your family dying around you, it’s very personal, heartfelt and could be extremely successful because it’s said in a way that people won’t at first understand. You play it for your friends and they absolutely love it and encourage you to put it out. You don’t want to because it hurts too much. So you think everyone else has the "right"s to that song because it’s hoarding if you don’t release it? Come on, you don’t own my thoughts and creations, it’s selfish, greedy and a little narcissistic.

All the examples you have brought forward apply to private individuals. This is about cooperations and companies. Those very different legal entities.

That is not what some people here are saying, they want everything put out for copyright to be public domain. What’s hilarious is, that’s exactly what the AI hoovers want, they want everything anyone else makes. Especially the unique and creative artists. So these people in this thread want the same thing as these huge corporations everyone here hates.
