Two important books about the #Internet have just been published. Choose depending on your preference for #English or #Canadian #communication style:

Tim Berners Lee @timbl "Somewhere between my original vision for web 1.0 and the rise of social media as part of web 2.0, we took the wrong path."
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/sep/28/why-i-gave-the-world-wide-web-away-for-free

or Cory Doctorow @pluralistic "Welcome to the Enshitternet!"

@randahl cancel #amazon. Write angry letters to tcook@apple.com to ask him to bring back the „ICE Block“ App. Don’t buy Tesla, don’t subcribe to starlink.

"you’re paying the Amazon tax no matter where you shop – even the corner mom-and-pop hardware store."

Je propose qu'on arrête d'utiliser #GAFAM et qu'on le remplace par #MAGAM pour insister un peu plus sur le virage autoritaire des #Meta #Apple #Google #Amazon et #Microsoft.

There is evidence from recent studies that climate extremes are impacting the region including the first observed mass death of mammals in the Amazon, where sloths and other mammals were found on the forest floor or hanging dead from understorey trees, reductions in the size of bird populations, and changes to bird lifespans, appearance and behaviour

C'est un peu comme regarder une vidéo de Gaza, on a beau savoir, ça fait vomir à chaque fois.

- se taper une journée de travail d' #annotation pour une valeur de 4 paquets de pâtes et 4 oeufs
- du trafic de comptes d'annotateurs au black (qui fait bien les affaires d'#Amazon)
- bref, les #GAFAMs pourrissent le monde ... mais aux gouvernements des pays exploités de nettoyer les écuries d'Augias
- en interne, relancer l'économie de ces pays exploités ... en faisant de l'IA à son tour 🤯
- féliciter (ou pas) #XavierNiel et son #Ecole42 au passage
- préfèrer développer des IAs plutôt que de former les #agriculteurs
