RE: Hive: An AI Data Platform
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The data industry is valued in the league of the billions. Its the primary reason why we've transitioned from Web 1.0 to 2.0. Its scary to think about, but I think that this industry is going to experience a dramatic change, I would almost call it a paradigm shift, towards feeding data to increasingly-specializing AI models instead of transforming this data into something that targets the user back, in the form of an ad for example.
However, I can't shake off the feeling that restricting users or otherwise pissing them off is extremely counterintuitive. They aren't providing an essential, irreplaceable service. If users don't like it on one platform, there is always an alternative. Users jumping ship means less content, and therefore less data is produced which shrinks the company's bottom line. It's not in their best interest to do that.
But there is no way to do what they intend to do without pissing users off. It's inevitable.
I agree about the users jumping ship would be a problem. But the real question is will they? It seems like there are a lot who talk about it but most end up back on the platforms in a short time.
Plus isnt the alternative just another dictator. Does anyone think Dorsey is not going to do the same thing with his project. Or any of them?

I think Dorsey is a pretty tame "dictator" compared to Elon Musk. Dorsey was extremely slow and sluggish on the feature rollout during his tenure, I doubt he would've had the confidence in him to piss users off. He values the user experience more than anything else. He didn't care much for profit during the founding of twitter.
