Once you pause for just a moment to learn why the concept of intelligence is so problematic in the first place you will understand the why the motivations behind artificial intelligence are exponentially problematic.

@mlanger Makes sense. Thanks for sharing. Just curious how people see their domain.

@mlanger Just mean your feelings on that control you speak of. If you feel you have the same over email in your domain as you do mastodon? I don't run my own email servers in my domain, but I run. my own mastodon servers. So I am just curious how others view.

@mlanger Good for you!! I support that. How do you feel about email vs Mastodon in this light?

@mlanger Additionally, maintaining and defending my personal domain in an online web matters to my digital self and my career. I don't expect others to always understand, but it is important to me.

@mlanger My blog is just for me. My newsletter is just targeting the close friends and family I have on Facebook. The search on my personal and profession blog is used daily to build on my own work. Even the food. I expect nobody else to care, but for me it has immense value on my writing and creative outlet.

@mlanger Make sense. I personally find value in having to reach beyond my personal blog and aggregate what I ate, books I am reading, and other things I didn't blog about.

The second week of my personal email newsletter and shifting more of my social sharing to my domain. Hope you do the same for yours so I can subscribe to your email newsletter. https://buttondown.com/kin-lane/archive/a-week-of-being-kin-lane-february-3rd-2024/
