It's not just that, it's shitting where it eats. People are using it to fill the internet with disinformation, then it trains itself on it's own disinformation, and breeds even worse disinformation. This is why AI can never be smarter than it was in 2021.
On top of that, due to the indiscriminate DDOSing of the entire internet by AI bots, websites have been blocking any web crawlers that are not Google, which just contributes to their monopoly.
he’d have to spend billions to get enough infrastructure for his streaming service to be able to compete with YouTube and Twitch
I was not at all suggesting that he enter the business of livestreaming...
Because people go where the content is, so a majority of content creators would have to start using it, rather than just himself.
"Where the content is" is owned by one of the richest tech billionaires in the world. One who is responsible for the destruction of more small businesses than anyone on the planet. One who bribed the President on several occasions, including with the ballroom, and with a $28M check. And I'm sure many other avenues.
As long as we continue going "where the content is" and refusing to go anywhere else, that's where it will remain in perpetuity. Someone has to have the influence and the courage to make the content be somewhere else.
Until that, it’s like Epic Games Store. They keep giving away free games and STILL nobody wants to go there because all their games are already on Steam.
That's not why at all. That's because their platform sucks ass.
Apparently they are about to IPO as well. And apparently Xitter is now part of the same company. They should just call it XXX (SpaceX, xAI and Xitter).
You. You are doing that. You're telling me that he shouldn't consider a different platform, he should continue generating revenue for Bozos, and that any other option is "psychotic". I don't know how you possibly form an argument otherwise.
Gmail is 30% of global email traffic. It doesn’t matter what platform I choose, my message is still going to end up in someone’s Gmail inbox
Why does that matter? You can make that choice for yourself, as can Mamdani. He cannot control other people's actions (unless by law), but he van 100% control his own.
Why not should be obvious: the NYC Mayor’s office isn’t in the market of building, hosting, operating or managing social media platforms. Full stop.
My response should also be obvious; they are also not "in the market" of running Twitch livestreams. He can elect to do that regardless.
That takes money, time, marketing and expertise and provides zero value to his constituents beyond performative fuzzy feelings.
It provides a platform that his constituents can follow and engage with him on that isn't owned by the broligarchy, and doesn't require them to subject themselves to all the horrific things billionaires make them do. Again, this should be super obvious to anyone with an absolute modicum of sense.
Well shit somebody call up Amazon and let them know!
Holy shit, do you really think Mamdani is going to have the fucking entirety of Twitch watching his livestream simultaneously? Did you think about this before you blurted it out at all? Do you know anything at all about hosting infrastructure? Jesus Christ...
If you’re so smart and righteous what’s stopping you from building your own platform for these politicians?
...money? Money they have and I don't? You call me a troll but you sure act like a paid actor sent to come here and ask stupid questions.
Why the fuck should Mamdani have to do it?
He shouldn't. He doesn't. He also doesn't have to live stream at all. Short of those answers, because no one else is?
but don’t care about these corporate vultures?
I'm sure they're all bad. You know what? There's no alternative to them. Its a multi billion dollar business. You can't say the same for Twitch. It probably wouldn't even take $1k to set up a live streaming server that could handle Mamdani livestreaming levels of traffic.
Motherfucker I will **quadruple down __ ** on the fact that the additional context does not make it any more clear, that's why I didn't quote it.
