Where is the digital rights renaissance?

OK, I think this was poor wording on my part. My point wasn’t about generative AI specifically I more so using it as an example for people’s frustration with big tech and creating the counter culture I was more so trying to emphasize the lack of representation (to my knowledge as I don’t really pay attention to mass media anymore) of issues like privacy, right to repair under art like music and illustrations instead of just technical content and blogs , etc. I was asking if I was tripping over that as a concept

FranklyFlawless:

Tripping, my essense is not threatened by GenAI.

it is in the sense that it is actively stealing your work and AI slop taking attention away from your potential demographic but I will say AI can’t innovate like humans do if you think that’s going to replace you artistically maybe there wasn’t much there to begin with

DailyChems:

As with many things it’s not the technology itself that is inherently evil, it’s how evil companies create them and how they force people to use it.

Hit hard with this one. When people say they hate a certain technology they likely only been exposed to it from the corporate context and have a skewed perspective I think a good example of this is social media and smartphones. The fediverse feels way cooler and productive than their big tech equivalents and because of the way its built its almost enshittification resistant and smartphones wouldve been so cool if they werent all trying to homogenously be an iPhone

hydroxide_opacity:

I need ideas on how to share this knowledge because most efforts haven’t worked except with a small group who genuinely care about my perspective.

this is all dependent on your motivations and perspective. There are reasons to want privacy that aren’t being discussed enough

Preservation of authenticity, spiritual practice, the impact of surveillance on mental health, experimenting with business ideas and the list never stops

Going based on technical jargon will only interest technical people and while I’m a fan of nerd talk the pertinence of this particular subject is a much a larger scope then people realize so in my opinion every angle in this field matters all I can say is make it personal.

Maybe I should be taking my own advice tho
