Tech Companies Have Created a Loneliness Doom Loop
Tech companies have found a way to market digital goods to lonely people, promising relief through connection, but this kind of connection isn’t the solution; it’s the problem. Calling loneliness an epidemic transforms a feeling into a pathology to be cured, creating a loneliness economy. Reframing a universal human experience like loneliness as a medical diagnosis creates a market opportunity to manufacture, sell and buy treatment. The prescription given for loneliness is connection, and Big Tech has found a way to seize the vulnerability of lonely people eager to escape their predicament.Meta’s chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, argues that A.I. companions can help fill what he sees as a friendship gap. Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI, is developing an A.I. “companion” that will live with users and, the company claims, be capable of sensing their surroundings. Replika, a generative A.I. chatbot, touts customer claims like “I love my human-like A.I. companion” and “Replika understands me better than any real guy ever did.” “Friends come and go, but GalaxyAI has your back,” another ad reads. Social media, dating apps and A.I. companions won’t alleviate loneliness; they will make it worse by giving people a way to avoid their aloneness.

When tech hardware becomes paperweights
Now I have this blood pressure monitor device that doesn't work without a logged in app and is a paperweight. I'm lucky I never invested into their ecosystem of health products. Lesson is no matter how popular a brand is, there is no guarantee they will be around. I've lost all my health data and there is no way to get it back.

Main Topic: The AI race between the US and China, focusing on the potential for Chinese open-source AI models like Deepseek to surpass US closed models like OpenAI.
Key Points:
- AI Arms Race: The discussion highlights the view that the US and China are in an AI arms race, with significant implications for global dominance.
- Deepseek Ban: There's concern about a potential US ban on Chinese AI models like Deepseek, similar to the TikTok ban, driven by Silicon Valley lobbying.
- Open Source vs. Closed Models: The advantages of open-source AI models are emphasized, including cost-effectiveness, the ability to run locally without sending data to external servers, and customization to remove censorship.
- OpenAI's Limitations: Concerns are raised about OpenAI's reliability (downtime) and data privacy practices, making open-source alternatives more appealing for certain applications.
- Global Adoption: It's argued that countries and companies outside the US may prefer Chinese open-source AI due to cost, control, and the ability to tailor the models to their specific needs and cultures.
- Economic Implications: Restricting access to open-source AI models in the US could put American companies at a disadvantage compared to their global competitors.
- AI Hype and Investment: The discussion touches on the current AI hype and whether the downstream is paying for AI right now.
Highlights:
- The potential for a bifurcated world with US AI and Chinese AI dominating different regions.
- The observation that Deepseek's release wiped out $1.5 trillion off the US stock market in a single day.
- The point that open-source models allow users to avoid sending data to OpenAI and customize the model to remove unwanted censorship.
- The suggestion that the US political landscape is influenced by Silicon Valley's financial contributions.

Citiverse.it: ecco come utilizzare le categorie del forum dal proprio account feddit.it
L'apertura di citiverse.it non è soltanto la creazione di un nuovo forum o, dal momento che a tutti gli effetti è federata con il Fediverso, di una nuova istanza.
Citiverse.it, sfruttando la versatilità di NodeBB, vuole infatti realizzare un ambiente che sia utilizzabile sia da chi è già dentro il Fediverso, sia – soprattutto – da parte di chi è fuori dal Fediverso.
Chi è su Lemmy infatti può utilizzare le "categorie" del forum NodeBB come se fossero "comunità" Lemmy.
Vediamo quindi quali sono le categorie di citiverse.it e rendiamole navigabili per l'utente Lemmy:
Luoghi e città
Gruppi e associazioni
Discussioni sul Fediverso italiano
