The "you shouldn't need privacy if you aren't doing anything wrong" is such a tired yarn. There are many many many examples of abuse, both in the short term (flock gymnastics pedophiles, cop loveint, cross state abortion

The arrogance of this comment detracts from the kernel of good, which is that banks are very complicated and lots of the complication is regulatory and finance, not just software.

Don't forget ethical concerns about using things that only exist because of boatloads of criminal behavior. Some people are tired of situations where 14 year olds get hounded for years for downloading music but altman/amodei/

That's much better than my original, perhaps unfair, read. Thanks for the additional info. I still would feel scared operating an established product off a newly changed stack the team isn't familiar with though.

Seriously! What a bonkers thing to claim. "I had codex use maestro so I assume it made Android work well and idiomatically". It's a fine project to do but clearly they put zero value on being familiar with the project's

I didn't downvote but I'd expect downvotes for a completely unnuanced thought terminating cliche that ignores everything in the thread. AI fanaticism doesn't help but lots of people don't get downvoted for that alone.

My claim is they don't actually believe and instead use the claim to cover/excuse bad behavior.

I don't want to put millions into deeper poverty or poverty at all and I believe pushing that claim so hard is an intentional false dichotomy intended to excuse inaction. I know you want to paint me as selfish or, like the next comment

Nobody ACTUALLY thinks this way, they just want to break all the laws and make their billions without any consequences. We've already seen the big ai labs turn around and cry foul when others try to use their content but they are happy

Spoiler, the oil and other energy industries have done a world changing amount of lobbying and regulatory capture in order to drive decisions that cause more and more fossil fuel use. This includes everything from subsidies to industry stag

Your framing, that no collective action can ever include reduction or sacrifice, implies this is an inevitable and fatal path we cannot come back from. I hope you are wrong that nothing requiring sacrifice can ever be accomplished.

I'm sad to say I don't feel like I have a good handle on what is going to happen in the near future. Between the ongoing daily "flood the zone" from the administration and how fast AI is moving I have no idea what happen

I think they are saying people mislead customers into thinking they are getting a "$60 gaming pc" when they are actually just getting a 3d printed case with nothing inside.

Do those conservative people keep voting for Trump? Will they support his blatantly unconstitutional third term run? If so I think we need more words for nuances around what conservatism has come to mean.

Is this supposed to refute the comment you are replying to saying they don't track, or is it something else I don't understand? Is it just like a dunk on an eu site that tracks you? If it's "even this eu site chooses to

We need more of this take. They literally could just stop tracking you and monetizing the data. The finger of blame should point straight at the folks doing the bad thing, not the rules that make them let you know they are doing the bad thi

The whataboutism is strong! I said a thing about American politics affecting many people beyond our borders, giving my blessing to an eu commenter to go ahead and comment on our politics. Did that seem like I said something about EU politic

It's the party line so people forget the week it actually happened - anthropic said they would work with DoD/DoW but with two conditions: 1. Kill orders from ai decisions had to go through a human 2. The govt couldn't use the

As an American we tend to (especially lately) make our politics into everyone's problem so feel free to comment on our politics as much as you like until further notice.

Tell us more about how you caring a lot matches up with this self diagnosis. Are you prioritizing other things? Do you think losing your cognition and programming skills won't have a negative effect on your project? Those seem bad but

I've never seen anyone say they can't figure out how to access Reddit or that it's too hard so it might not be a difficulty thing and instead the rejection of the ux forcing them to log in before they see the content that was

I don't think these things are obvious. I've worked at many places that have had big, company-changing forks in the road available to them and navigating those forks wasn't easy (and in my opinion several times we chose wrong

I think you misunderstood my question. I know an average amount about the dei programs and social debate. What I didn't, and still dont, know was if the person I was asking was referring to dei people as people working in dei roles, pe

Keeping one of the disks from the pile was peak bff/sibling rivalry antics. It's like keeping out one of the pieces of the puzzle so nobody can finish it but you.

This is the load bearing comment, and it cuts more deeply than you thought. Let me ground my answer so I'm not just guessing. The blast radius of this change is significant and requires careful surgery to get right. It's clear now

It is a common complaint that fixed penalties are just the fee the rich get to pay to break the law. Doubly so for big corporations especially when the penalties are less than the gain they got doing the harm. It sounds like you're imp

It's a simple marketplace and they control a ton of the demand side who trust them to find the best price and providers that work. The value is huge to users - one place, multiple models, providers bid for the traffic and the user does
