A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

”Facebook’s AI spam problem is one that is powered and funded primarily by Facebook itself”

Now that you have created a problem, it’s time to start selling the solution. Make a spam detector AI, and put it behind a monthly subscription. People will pay good money to filter out the trash. Also, better include some lootboxes and micro transactions too, while you’re at it.

Actually a fascinating read! Once again, the way to make money in a gold rush is by selling shovels:

it seems like the people most reliably making money are the ones racking up YouTube and podcast views and selling ebooks, guides, and WhatsApp and Telegram access to places where you can learn more about how to do this yourself

Crazy that Facebook will pay you to churn out low-effort shit now, the platform already died for most of us when they were doing that just for the ego boost!
