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.

FAQ says

Jack Dorsey doesn’t own Divine, although he has provided funding through a grant from And Other Stuff (AOS). He holds no equity and has no ownership. He supports projects like Divine to advance open protocols without VC-led, extractive business models.

I guess it was important enough to point out.

(just quoting for context; I can't say anything about the claim)

oh fair point.

i also love how the link on this part of the bbc website:

Divine's website FAQs, external outlines several ways for the platform to ensure all videos on the app are human-made, without AI involvement.

had "?utm_source=chatgpt.com" in the link; we see you bbc editors

Not looking to come off a dorsey hugger but surely he's one of the better guys in club evil? And did he enshit twitter that much?

Genuine questions as I have very little actual knowledge on the subject. Never used any of his products afaik.

yeah he's one of the cryptobros; he ragequit the bsky board because they wanted to actually moderate toxicity; and he cosied up to elon musk at twitter, lately.
