The whole point of Strava is getting in data from you, other riders and other companies’ gear and putting it together.
These new terms say that same data that they got from other sources they now can only keep it to themselves, and show you only what they specifically permit to show you.
Tick tock, the hundreds of billions of dollars tossed into the AI hole is looking for its return, any second now…
Interesting choice… Musk has a bone to pick with Microsoft so even if the FTC gets hobbled, this investigation may get to survive the changing of the administration.
I mean old, un-Musked Twitter was what people wanted. Mastodon is similar, and I like it but it’s not Twitter (which personally I couldn’t get into even in its heyday).
I don’t think it’s the worst outcome or the Fediverse needing to be written off because of this. At least for now BridgyFed is a thing, and it’s not like we have to capture every refugee, Mastodon has thriving and tight-knit communities.
What’s crazy is that it’s more than that.
“I’m a gamer so I know what I’m talking about, that gamers know nothing about this topic.”
The logic is very backwards.
This is why Java edition and mods reign supreme.

Technology like the loom, the steam shovel, the aeroplane, rocketry, computers, nuclear energy, the internet, and now AI, are each tools that have really changed our world, and put many different people out of work, but it has also reduced a lot of back-breaking, time-consuming work, so it has allowed our world to go a lot faster. From an excavator being able to move a lot more dirt in a day than 5 men with shovels, AI can help with getting the initial ideas of the creative process, can help with parsing initial queries from customers, a first pass filter of a huge repository of legal documents, be a patient teacher for beginner programming or other subjects, and so on. Each tool can have been overpromised to do everything, but that doesn’t mean it had no purpose.
With that said, any of these tools and technologies can be used for bad as much as they can be used for good. And combatting that doesn’t just mean waiting around hoping for the people entrenched in power using tech to satiate their own personal gain, to suddenly reject their gains to commit them for the good of society. It means organizing to protect your neighbour. It means sharing the benefit of these tools with others, using them for good, and improving them for others.
My point is that it’s not AI that will cause society to crash, it’s greed and corporate greed, who are being assisted by the unrealistic hype over AI.
