The #bullshit regarding #quantum is reaching a fever pitch on #tiktok now. I suspect this is a coordinated campaign. But by whom? Who is paying to spin up quantum bullshit on tiktok of all places? Things are getting really weird. This is not the technology dystopia I planned for.

It makes me imagine an alternate plot for Terminator/War Games/The Forbin Project. What if the machine never actually works, but a cult forms around it who *believe* it works, and that cults seizes power? What if "skynet" was just a sock puppet for fascist generals and tech CEOs, who are the actual ones using machines to kill us all?

#TikTok se suma a la tendencia de los #chatbots con #Tako, su nuevo asistente de búsqueda de contenido - https://nivel.top/tecnologia/tiktok-chatbots-tako/2286/

There is too much bleed happening between two separate questions.

1. Should a state be able to ban an app?
2. Should #TikTok be banned?

Reasoning for one does not rubber stamp the other, and conflating the two isn’t smart. Giving corporations expanded free speech rights over the course of my lifetime is what has led us to this even being a debate in the first place, and I believe that’s a good thing.

#SocialMedia #TikTok #China: "If democratic countries replicate China’s tendency to block access to foreign media platforms, this could further empower illiberal regimes to restrict citizens’ access to the open web, and contribute to a more fractured internet. What’s more, other social-media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat and Twitter, pose similar risks to Canadians, and we certainly can’t ban them all.

Instead of a ban, the question we should be asking is: Can we minimize the harms caused by social-media platforms, while also maximizing the rights of their users?

The answer is a clear yes. And better yet, it can be accomplished by simply passing the online safety and privacy legislation that the government has already committed to. The advantage of this approach is that the very things we can do to protect Canadians from the risks of TikTok and Chinese state influence will also protect them from similar harms from other platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Youtube."

It's weird having listened to the newest #SleepToken record (Take Me Back to Eden), having discovered them a few months before during their singles releases and listening to their back catalog and like...

I don't know if being in a moderate camp on a cultural product is just hard to gauge. If you're going to write a Yelp review and you don't just always do that, you're probably going to write a 1 or a 5 star, not a 3 star.

There's a very rapidly growing hardcore group that has had the music, the live aesthetic, the vocalist's style as legitimately life changing. Then there are people that thinking their music is worthless.

I have three of their songs of their latest album on my 1000+ track Starred list on streaming ("Euclid," "Take Me Back to Eden," "Chokehold"). I also think a lot of their music is instrumentally uninteresting and the album, as a whole, is kind of boring to do an unbroken listen to.

I guess with proggy stuff I have an inherent thought that it will be album-oriented. Sleep Token seems to be much more of a singles band than is expected for their genre, and that's fine. It's an adjustment of my attitudes rather than their work.

I will say this came up with "Astronaut in the Ocean" (not by Sleep Token) which was blanketing #TikTok for forever before I ran into it on a shuffle. There's a lot of either being exposed to music on a very tight loop that seems to affect a lot of people. I don't use TikTok, had no idea about this song until a couple weeks ago, and thought it was pretty great even if its lyrics are pretty nonsensical and in the TikTok era pop/hip hop songs are going to come in at 2ish minutes than the 3-3.5 minutes millennials grew up with in radio edits.

But it felt like a lot of people had been emotionally scarred by music coming in such a barrage and it sort of meant that using TikTok and then any song that blows up there, leads to a rapid burnout.

Now let's get back to Sleep Token to finish up. Besides TikTok, another thing that can cause a lot of polarization is essentially buying pre-release hypes or interviews at face value. A lot of people pointed out that claims about it being radically experimental were, basically bullshit. I feel like listening to an album and ignoring what is being said about the album by anyone connected to the act itself is the better way to evaluate.

Every act is probably going to talk about their new project being experimental, or heavier, or whatever. #Chevelle does this and they've created albums that are definitely distinct recently but aren't a radical creative departure. An album has to be justified as to why it exists, and that's a common thing to say. I assume an album will be largely consistent of the act's sound, particularly their last album or their most recent well received one.

So Sleep Token's album is above average. This is a very long way of writing a 3 star review, which I feel explains why more 3 star reviews of anything not by actual critics aren't written.

When you talk about #Instagram here on Mastodon (or anywhere in the fediverse) have you actually spent much time on Instagram? Because #Pixelfed is only like Instagram in the most basic sense. Instagram is mostly populated with people selling products, services or themselves. Instagram is like a tame version of #TikTok. If federated platforms begin to look like these places I personally will drop them.

Montana is banning #TikTok for alleged spying and surveillance.

The problem is that, to enforce it, the ban requires more spying and surveillance than Apple and Google currently allow.

This is a case of the cure being worse than the disease.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/05/19/montana-tik-tok-ban-challenges/

@socialmedianews@venera.social

But Montana’s ban also faces many technical hurdles. The law would rely heavily on the app stores to cut off TikTok users, levying $10,000-a-day fines on TikTok, the app stores and any other “entity” that “offered the ability” to download TikTok in the state.

But Apple and Google have both said blocking Montanans from downloading TikTok would require a complete rewrite of how their users are tracked.

The app stores, technical experts say, are divided by country or global region, and they don’t change or discriminate based on which state a user is in. Changing that system would require not just carving the stores into state-specific chunks but closer monitoring of people’s locations and a by-the-minute system to define what happens when, for instance, a user drives over state lines.

Montana's governor just signed a law banning TikTok in the state starting January 1

But Montana's previous governor issued an order saying that no ISP could sell to the Montana government if it blocked or throttled any application

So by my understanding TikTok gets banned in January in Montana and the government no longer gets internet service.

Seems like a fair tradeoff to me.

shouldn't the conversation be about the use of our personal and private data from any company - foreign or domestic - not just the ones with apps we opt into using? #privacy #tech #tiktok #video #montana #government

#Meta is about to pay a record European Union fine for transferring user data from EU servers over to servers in the US.

How big will the fine be? Significantly bigger than the fine that Amazon paid for privacy violations, which was for 746 million euros ($821.20 million).

But I don't think a fine is good enough. Surely if
#TikTok will be banned for "theoretically" transferring data to Chinese servers, Meta should be banned for doing the same thing.

And frankly, when
#Barcelona comes to the Fediverse, we should all be leery about how Meta handles data. Frankly, I don't trust them.

May 17 (Reuters) - Meta Platforms Inc (META.O) is set to face a record European Union privacy fine related to data transfer of Facebook's EU users to U.S. servers for failing to comply with a warning by a top EU court, two sources familiar with the matter said.

The penalty will be higher than the previous record 746 million euros ($821.20 million) fine for Amazon.com Inc (AMZN.O), according to the sources.

Meta declined to comment, while the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) and the European Commission did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.

ChatGPT making things up about the article:
Metallica took to TikTok this week to remind an eager fan that they still hate the song "Escape" from their 1984 album "Ride the Lightning." After a fan shared a clip of himself listening to the song, Metallica responded in a comment: "Nope. We still hate it. You better spin (some other) Metallica songs next time." This is just the latest example of the band's ongoing rejection of the tune from one of their earliest albums, and over 35 years after its release, "Escape" remains a fan-favorite while Metallica remains openly dismissive of it.
