The one that gets me is ‘bud’ I had a roommate that would all ways say things like ‘yeah bud. that’s because ****’ when explaining anything and I had to put a firm stop to it. It was so patronizing.

OpenSI doesn’t really roll of the tongue does it? What will they do? update to OSI? because that’s already a bunch of things…

It’s been called AI since before the technology actually existed. I’m not calling it anything else.

After my big, tired, sigh my first thought was that it was some kind of dumb ass rebranding attempt.

That’s fair but also keep in mind that the most accurate statement is that it works for ‘the shareholders’ and over time ‘the shareholders’ have become less and less people and more and more entities that are holding the stock. Various Funds, Institutions, and other organizations. It’s a democratic council that is dictated by whoever holds the majority of voting shares. When we talk about millions of shares more often than not the voting majority is housed in one way or another within an institution. It’s not ‘A’ boomer, it’s a management fund holding the retirement portfolio of thousands of boomers if not just another company that managed to secure 15% or more of voting weight.
I push back because the focus should always be on the system and on the wealthy class. Not the demographic of some retired asshole that’s benefiting from the system itself.

TLDR: The CEO is the captain but the board is the admiralty.
The CEO is the face of the company. The board of directors is the what actually sets company policy and usually has the power to remove the CEO if they aren’t managing the company the way they want.
CEOs may agree with the board’s vision but if you want to know who’s pushing anti-human policy you should look first at the board. They choose the CEO and they can remove them with a vote.
There are many people that we don’t see in the news everyday that sit on multiple boards and direct policy across industries. When a firm or bank buys out a controlling interest in a company’s public stock they usually put someone on the company’s board. Why do you think a United CEO getting killed didn’t slow UHC down all that much? The CEO is a face, a captain, but the board are the admirals. CEOs aren’t without blame. They usually have freedom of implementation but they are always acting with oversight of some kind from the board.
It’s easy to point at the CEO because it’s one person, but really if you want to make any kind of lasting change you need to target the people who are sitting on multiple boards and pushing the anti-human policy.
The board of directors is also chosen by the shareholders and typically the entities with the most stock to vote aren’t people (or at least aren’t good people.) Think of anyone who could have the money to buy a controlling share of a major publicly traded company.
Circling back, The CEO is the company face, The board is the interface between the company and the rich unknowns. Usually those unknowns are other organizations that have controlling stock. It gets incestuous pretty fast.

Everyone looks at the CEO. People should be looking at the board of directors.

on EU Kids Act Won't Keep the Internet Accountable and Trustworthy in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3d ago
They want the internet to be as cable, radio, and books before it. It just took longer because of the complexity of the systems. They can’t stand that people for about 20 years had the means to educate themselves and they’ve been fighting to censor it since at least 2012. The problem is that now the tech bros are on board. Before they still had enough idealist types internally to keep them pushing back.
It was only a matter of time. having been raised in the free and open internet it really breaks my heart.

on Should i give up on signal? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml · 5d ago
over here in America, we had a friend in our group that outright refused to switch to signal. Not to make it seem like it’s the only factor, but that friend is no longer around, and we all use Signal.

on Google Has Removed Manifest V2 Extensions From the Chrome Web Store, Including uBlock Origin in c/technology@lemmy.world · 1 Sep 2026
The problem is that everyone’s internet experience is very different these days. Your friends might be boring and actually have nothing in their lives that need compartmentalized/obfuscated. It’s unlikely but not impossible.
The easiest way to demonstrate the problem would be when they show you something on an unprotected device you note the ads and give them shit for it. Those ads are likely targeted, and so your jabs would be targeted and personal too. Then point out that those ads are tied to THEM. Just ask every time, “have you been looking at X? Gross dude.” It doesn’t matter what it is. It’s the point that they are uncomfortable with your guess and it’s an opening to explain that, yeah it’s not just those ads buddy.
