This is just such a weird comment to make. Like just so weird. We have minority death squads and concentration camps. Steven Miller wants to "get rid" of 60 million people. His friend Curtis Yarvin advocates turning poor people in

I am confused why you want to debate and make excuses for an agency that sent an innocent man to torture prison for all the months it took for the courts to get him back. Honestly. The complete inhumanity of some people.

I think you are a bad person who wants to sit around and talk about this as if it’s some sort of abstract philosophy and not a situation where actual human beings’ lives and health and bodies are being ruined by thugs paid for by my tax dol

I listed asylum seekers and visa holders in detention but they are definitely grabbing citizens too. Usually they do not hold them for very long. This happened at the Target I shop at: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news&#x2

From everything we are seeing, the tools are not actually that capable. Their main function is not their stated function of spying/knowing a lot about people. Their main function is to dehumanize people. When you use a computer to tell

I had a coworker who kept up a blog about random purchases she’d made, where she would earn some money via affiliate links. I thought it was horrendously boring and weird, and the money made was basically pocket change, but she seemed to en

It doesn’t imply any of that at all. There certainly is a huge army of people ready to spout this sort of nonsense in response to anyone talking about doing anything. Hard to know what percentage of these folks are trying to assuage their o

Doing something is literally the opposite of doing nothing. This is complete gibberish.

We cannot coordinate large scale positive change without connecting genuinely with each other. I don’t think violence is necessary. The common people have access to many levers of power, we only need to overcome lack of coordination and awa

The future certainly does look bleak. I think not giving up on normal human expression, connection, and creativity is a good way to combat that.

That explains a lot. Thank you! What a weird business decision on their part. I would guess the minimum has something to with payment processing overhead, but Patreon handles 1-2$ monthly payments no problem and always has. Strange.

I don’t think it’s a good reason. I think it’s a reason. It’s certainly demoralizing. Plagiarism sucks and feels bad. If I were to google something and see the AI overview parroting my blog post, sort of almost kind of paraphrasing my words

Decentralized and expensive. Maybe I’m looking at the wrong blogs but my impression so far is that a lot of subscriptions are around 5-10$ monthly for a single creator. I can get a ton of newspapers (ok not papers, websites) magazines etc f

The way things are going, I’m not sure if the mega corps will ever truly turn a profit off the blood sucking. Maybe suck some USA tax money for a bailout… In the meantime, there are lots of actual humans trying to do things who will benefit

I’m sure there could be some argument to be made for obstruction of justice considering he oversaw the firing/dissolution of agencies and people investigating his dealings. Plus wherever those investigations lead. The SSA data heist al

I don’t find it particularly childish to hate on a man who led the charge to destroy food and medicine meant for orphans. Among other things. If he didn’t want bad publicity for everything he touched, he shouldn’t have done that.

Spot on. These people are all severely emotionally stunted and it is both pitiable and dangerous to me. They will never experience the full breadth of human emotion. And they have inflicted incalculable damage on the rest of us.

The next administration should imprison Musk. I don’t think I need to elaborate.

I am highly skeptical that we will see AI pay for itself by the end of the decade. More likely Americans’ tax dollars will be shoveled into the hole.

This is phenomenally conceited on both companies’ parts. Wow.

That’s great and the only legitimate use case here. I suspect Microsoft will not try to limit customers to just writing scripts and will instead allow and perhaps even encourage them to let the AI go ham on a bunch of raw data with no inter
