Emergency broadcast: Jack Dorsey just announced "diVine"—a revival of Vine— and he promises "NO AI ALLOWED." Cute. Adorable. Precious. Also? Complete and utter bullshit.
Because guess where the funding comes from? His nonprofit AndOtherStuff. And what’s one of the main pillars of AndOtherStuff? Oh, just a tiny little thing called— OPEN. SOURCE. AI. DEVELOPMENT.
So you mean to tell me… the guy funding AI research… is ALSO launching a "pure human content" short-form app? No AI. No algorithms. Just vibes? Yeah, and I’m the tooth fairy with a chainsaw. Let’s not kid ourselves. This isn’t a platform. It’s a data farm wearing a nostalgia hoodie. He wants fresh, untainted, never-scraped content to feed a brand-new AI model. A virgin dataset. Six-second dopamine loops straight into the training pipeline. And the "NO AI" pledge? That’s the bait. Nostalgia is the softest part of the human skull, and Jack is tapping it like a maple tree.
Call it what it is: A weapons-grade hoodwink. "Come make content like the good old days!" Nah, bro. He’s setting a trap and painting it Vine-green.
You want Vine back? Make it yourself. Just don’t hand your creativity to a dude building an AI model behind your back.
Stay sharp. Stay loud. Damocles out.
