It really highlights just how centralized so much of the internet is on like three companies (Amazon, Microsoft, and Google)

Is this a copypasta or AI generated? It's several orders of magnitude better written than basically every Lemmy comment I've ever seen.

The EU doesn't need to be a technology-taker – it can be a technology maker. The Apple/Google duopoly may have sewn up the mobile market with illegal monopoly tactics, but that doesn't mean that the EU will never spawn another Nokia or Ericsson. The shortest, most efficient, most reliable path to reestablishing technological sovereignty for the EU's half-billion residents and 27 member-states is to allow domestic firms to take over the relationship between the Trump-controlled American tech giants and the Europeans who rely on their technology.

We don't typically have our highways owned and operated by for-profit megacorporations. It should be the same with operating systems. It's the base layer on which all the applications rely. That's too much control placed in private hands.

The most powerful force in the world is the one that makes you delete a draft comment hours into writing it because you know with certainly your comment will contain at least one mistake and you'll receive replies from the many people much smarter than you eagerly, dutifully correcting you and never recover from the embarrassment of your comment being revealed as an archetypal instance of the Dunning–Kruger effect and you an imposter.

I become suspicious when I see a Medium user posting well-written deep articles as frequently as this user appears to be doing. How can we tell whether this is AI slop or not?
