Not that I’m aware of.

There are plenty of Americans that will buy this coin and lose money.

Yes but people are so apathetic they would rather pretend things are OK than acknowledge the reality of the situation and the reality of the action that is required.

You only get one chance on #4 and you need a large amount of support.

Trump holds 80% of the supply. This is going to be the biggest rug pull of all time. Americans are literally getting shitcoin scammed by their own presidents holy shit what a timeline.

Yes I know they didn’t do it enthusiastically but that’s what happens when you’re under the government. Bytedance has no obligation to do the same.

Not the point. Not what I was saying at all.

The point is AP is a platform for anyone to build their app on. If someone wants to build an app they can build it with their own UI/algo/whatever feature and monetization model they want. They don’t need to go to AT for that. As long as their ads(or however they choose to monetize) isnt federating to other instances then no other fediverse users would care.

removing the cost of R&D I would assume its profitable right? Once the model is trained running it takes significantly less computing. OpenAI has a fuck ton of customers so I would assume they are making back the cost of running their model API.

Thats fine no one is saying you should watch ads. The discussion is that VC people need to build a brand new app on the AT protocol because there is no money in the fediverse. But everything they want to build on AT can be done on Activity pub. As long as they arent federating the ads then no one outside their instance should care.

Tiktok is worse because Facebook and Twitter cooperate with governments to remove misinformation. As well as allow governments to review their algorithm.

Misinformation is going to exist. What’s bad is when a platform is pushing it intentionally and your government has no power to remove it.

Even small countries like New Zealand were able to work with Facebook to get content removed.

You could argue that Twitter and Facebook are now doing exactly what tiktok is accused of doing but the difference is that the next American president supports them promoting this misinformation.

A paid instance with high quality UI/ux and stability would actually be good. They can display ads to their hearts content. It just requires them to take the risk and develop it. There is already a solid base to start.

No, the way the hearing went the judges said this case sets low precedent and it’s not banned it’s forced to divest.

Tiktok can remain with the exact same algorithm, same content it just can’t be owned by ByteDance and closed source. The court said opening sourcing the algorithm and platform was also an option.

They can’t intervene. It was decided in court. Trump might intervene because he doesn’t care about following the law.

I personally don’t see the value add of e2e encryption to public posts in a federated social media.

DMS are the only place I could see it being beneficial.
