as a longtime telecom beat reporter I spent years tracking how telecom monopolies dominated markets then nickeled and dimed users with predatory usage surcharges so it's wild to see a market that isn't even established or profitable yet jump right to the fee enshittification

So, the biggest IPO in the history of the world has the vast majority of its future value being created by an AI platform whose only distinction, thus far, is that it is the only one that's generated sexualized imagery of children? And they're going to force it into our 401ks so we're bag-holders?
For many years, people asked me, “How come Prince didn’t allow people to upload his music to YouTube?” It used to take a long time to explain it, but now that Big AI platforms are extracting everyone’s content without consent… everybody suddenly gets it. Which is interesting.
