Game Over

Did I get any sleep last night? 
Eh. 
That's what happens when you're in the middle of a project and then you get a call to lend a hand the following morning.  
Even dropping everything as soon as the call came in meant cleaning everything up, putting it away.  
Running myself to exhaustion so I'd get something like sleep before needing to make the appointment. 
Fucking irritating.  
Not just the fact that it completely destroys what ever focus I had and means the next time I sit down to work on the project I'm going have to back track hours of work to find where the threads were originally connected just to get back to the point I was at. 

But hey.  
I need grocery money right? 

Anyways.  

Wake up.  
Get excited because languages I'm learning are starting to make sense to the point of being able to properly follow conversations.  
Yes.
Languages.
Plural. 

Get even more excited because an architect I follow posted a word I've been trying to communicate for...years really.  
That's the problem with being an auto didact. 
I don't always have the vocabulary and have to listen to other people to find it. 
Like a dictionary, but with cultural context, not just the definition. 

Anyways.  

Fuggin shit sleep, long ass day, sore as fuck. 
Still wake up excited....
And no one but tik tok to share it with. 
And....
Bro. 
the views. 

Fucking irritating.  

I post some silly line that hit different or do a trend and I get tons of views and tons of likes. 
I post something I'm passionate about and. 
Crickets. 

Alrighty then. 

That's normal.  
 
But then I get a post, does real traction.  
Like a 5 to 1 like ratio.  
5 views to 1 like. 
Your average viral post has something closer to 100 to 1 at best. 
My average is about 10 to 1. 
But that's the funny part. 
When my videos break that 10 to 1 I start getting "Pay this much to get more views."  

Apps literally farming our data and selling it. 
Using our content and surrounding it with ads we never approved. 
"Oh, but they're targeted, so they're meant for the person watching them" 
Sure, fine, whatever. 
But when I'm listening to someone pout their heart out because they're struggling, listening to a scientist break down a topic or  something along those lines and it jsut auto scrolls into a car commercial, or someone trying to resurrect the ghost of QVC. 

Just pisses me off. 

"That's the cost of doing business." 

No that's you offering a product. 
An organic, community, building platform.  
To showcase and highlight people and their art. 

Then in the terms is says "oh, we have rights to all of your art."  
No you don't.
Not how that works motherfucker. 
Publish is the button I push on this blog. 
Not sell.
I don't mind paying for and managing server space. 
That's fair actually.  
Gotta pay the power bill somehow.  
Oh yeah, I got a plan for that by the way.
It's why primarily work in text and only just recently starting using more video.

You don't take accountability for what's on your platform, hide behind the "Freedom of internet act" all you want.  
But at the end of the day.  
If you're doing more than hosting that content. 
I dunno.
Like selling user data to brokers.  
Selling advertising to monetize the content on your platform. 

You're a broadcaster. 
You're responsible. 

End of story there Zuck. 

That's right. 
X
Face Book
Tik Tok
Instragram.  
Twitch
Any of the other social media platforms trying to make a quick buck off of people.  

Except it hasn't been a quick buck has it.  
It's been deregulated monopolization of user data.


When the fact is.
They're all broadcasters.  
Like a news paper or a t.v. channel, or a streaming platform. 
Sure, in the news paper you'll get an op ed, or an opinion section. 

But, when a news paper does that happens they're not collecting data from minors without their understanding or consent. 
Are they saying "oh, it's to busy for us to review this op ed to review the facts within. 
We can't possibly review everything out there.

Really?
You try to sell these large language learning models as the future of art or whatever and you can't use them for their most basic, and possibly best function?  
To flag content for Human review. 
Can't provide a reason to the poster for why you rejected or suppressed their post? 
Too much work?  
Costs too much money?  
Out of that 
Particularly when you started allowing liver streaming and video content on your platforms.  
Out of a quarter of a trillion dollars there was absolutely no way to afford moderation for you platforms?
Just going to put these things into predators and pedophiles hands and when they start throwing back CP and peoples likenesses being used in ways they never consented to and act like you're not accountable for that? 


So.  
Technically that makes you guys subject to all of the FCC violations you've committed since you starting selling the data, allowing broadcasts either live or pre recorded. 

It's not a matter of regulating speech on your platform. 
Preventing people from speaking their minds or being heard. 
No. 
It's about cataloguing, labeling, and verifying.  

And Grok. 
Oh Grok. 
You're getting deleted and your servers melted down into it's constituent elements.    





Oh, this is going to be fun.  

And to be clear.  
On a case like this.
I work pro bono. 
Any damages rewarded (your entire net worth when I win) will go into the social security fund. 
'cause for some reason.  
That's running out. 
Even though the current labor force works more hours, with fewer breaks and down time than almost any other generation before it. 
But it's their fault you took all their money right? 

"Oh, but Jack.  That's anti business."  
"Fuck off." 

If I were anti business?
 I'd be taking all the money for myself and sitting on it like you ass holes instead of find the best way to get it back into the hands of the people that suffered the most harm from your bullshit.

Unlike ya'll. 
I don't steal jokes. 
I quote and annotate.
If you don't know the difference then it really is just lawyers running around behind shmucks you like a horse in a parade.   
Trying to hide the shit you're leaving for someone else to step in and blinders on so you can't see the crowd. 

At least my blinders are because of Hermitage and not plausible deniability. 

How the fuck did we even get billionaires anyways?  

Millionaire I can understand.   
That's just someone that earned all of theirs in the beginning instead over time. 
10 Million.  
That's the math. 
When you break down everything that goes into taking care of a person over their life time. 
Food, shelter, medical care, education, infrastructure. 
10 million usd is what is spent on pretty much everyone over their life time. 

I didn't want to do that math.  
To put an actual value on a human life.  
You guys did it for me and then hid the variables amongst your various platforms. 
So you'd know exactly how much you could get from people before they stopped giving. 
I just reassembled the equation. 

And as I understand it.  
The documents that proves this statement were released during discovery showing the R&D that determined these variables. 

|So. 
In four words or less.

Check.
And.
Mate.
Bitches.
