@nixCraft I don't think he's "wishing" those things to happen.
AI companies are investing to push AI's capabilities so this will most likely become true at some point in the future.
Because of cost reduction, everything is being made with AI, despite the 
quality now.
AI has already replaced people, made job scopes overlap and merge, and reduced salaries.
I don't love Gates but out of all these #billionaires, his foundation gives money to many causes. Seen #Musk, #Trump, #Bezos etc doing that?
@lb_thomas@tech.lgbtIs KDP Select/KU just a backdoor path to Amazon monopoly?
Have any authors done comparisons between publishing wide (maybe Draft2Digital) VS KDP for initial releases?
I know some authors just poick one thing and stick with it. And some genre's are almost exclusively KDSP Select these days.
Interested to know if it is such a vastly different market share for your genre that it isn't worth it. And if is worrying that your exclusivity benefits Bezos.

@nixCraft Practically all #billionaires (#Shittenberg aka #Zuckerberg, #Bezos, #Trump, #Musk, #Altman, ##Pichai, #Cook, #Narayen and others) are only billionaires because of some kind of dogdy stuff (legal, loophole, bluntly illegal etc).
If they could go back in time and have actual slaves working for them do they would not have to pay them - and could beat them up if not fast enough - be sure they would.
#Billionarism must die. #Trickle economy is 
to forever keep them rich and us poor.

#Europe is going for the #fediverse.
I'd like to thank #US #tech #oligarchs for slobbering at the crotch of #Trump. We couldn't have done it without you, you absolute fools.
Cue Celine Dion "My Heart Will Go On".

We're talking about the company controlled by a guy who sent money to Trump, changed the Washington Post into Republican propaganda.
You sure you want him to record what you say in private?
"Starting on March 28, recordings of everything spoken to the Alexa living in Echo speakers and smart displays will automatically be sent to Amazon and processed in the cloud."
Boycotts are working!
At least this time #Bezos bucked a #government official, #rfkjr, & promoted #measles #vaccination.
Or maybe he wasn't looking.
Either way this is serious & we all need to be vigilant since the #usgovernment is not.
#getvaccinated for you, for someone you love or maybe just someone you've never met.
Dear #MAGA folk asking #wwjd. He'd get vaccinated & #isolate if exposed to protect "the least of these". You should too. What? Jesus wouldn't get sick causes he's God? You're not God.

Amazon Boycott Starts Today; Includes Ring, Twitch, Whole Foods
A grassroots movement called the People's Union USA is asking consumers to stop spending money at Amazon and its subsidiaries for a week - #Amazon #Boycott #Bezos #DirectAction #Billionaires https://www.cnet.com/tech/amazon-boycott-starts-today-and-includes-whole-foods-ring-twitch/
#Jacobin: "#JeffBezos has finally dropped the pretense. The world’s third-richest man has decreed that the #WashingtonPost, which he purchased back in 2013, will no longer publish opinions that challenge free market economics. With a casual diktat that would make William Randolph Hearst blush, #Bezos has laid bare what critics have long suspected: when #billionaires buy #newspapers, they aren’t just after profitable investments — they’re buying ideological bodyguards."

Omdat hij ALLES schaadt.
MSM-redacties lijken op een kapot geschoten IC-afdeling van een Palestijns ziekenhuis met stervende patiënten (natuur, milieu, mensenrechten, fatsoen, respect etc.) op de gang en ambulances met gillende sirenes in aantocht - zover het oog reikt.
Hieronder ziet u hoe Bezos de redactie van de WaPo overneemt.

The #WashingtonPost’s opinion section will now advance Jeff #Bezos’ “two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.” Anyone not on board with this “significant shift” can take a hike, Bezos seemed to tell Post employees in a note he shared on X.
That was Wednesday morning. By evening, Bezos was dining with President #Trump.

Dear #Americans, buy nothing today from major retailers. #Boycott all major companies, particularly #Amazon because #Bezos has ruined the #WashingtonPost.
@wdlindsy@toad.socialAs Michael Hanfeld says today in the Frankfurter Allegemeine, when Bezos says he wants Washington Post to maximize freedom, what he's really saying is that he is going to dictate that the paper sing the song of the super-rich owning class that has allied itself with Trump.
Some freedom.
