From the metaverse to his new AI fueled drivel. Zuckerberg has been very busy trying to convince us to divest from the real world and submerge ourselves into his virtual worlds of delight. Up to this point his products have been pure shit. But I worry the time will come where better engineered "mirrors in our cages" will succeed where the Zuck is just flopping about.

Keep up the good work, boycott all fascist american brands.
It's not just X; American social media has been gradually turning into such a shit show for the last 10 years: censorship, misinformation, consensus manufacture and creeping enshitification. I jumped ship to the fediverse and never looked back!
What is more accesible for me at the moment is pointing out that you are really straining this metaphor. This is typical, we are talking about accessibility IN ART and all of the sudden it's all about living in a shack, skill laborers and the most out there metaphors one could muster!
image generation ran on at least 4 gigabytes of gpu chugging datasets of millions of artists - accessible VS Picking up a pen accesible. Ai media generation is not more "accesible" to make art, people don't need an education to make art. people don't need technical talent or proficiency to make art. Generative media is a convenient vending machine to churn out something resembling a product. The whole point of our current generative art systems is in making something that has some kind of production or market value without a care of where that content was scraped.
I'm going to argue that stealing and masquerading to manufacture a product is a lot more effort than just picking up a pencil.
I think that's called "having a personality."
news memes and music!
This is erasure of the unique grassroots brand of American stupidity.
I am getting some news that Israel was struck by a Hypersonic missile or was it some fake or overblown news? In anyways, full support for these freedom fighters!
Cleaning my toilet like I'm Darth Maul with the heccking epic star warts song in the background!
