That's his point. There's no comparison between entering the public part of an office during business hours and what happened yesterday.

I really doubt the inevitable failure of all of these predictions will be the "end of the line." Messianic cults and movements are surprisingly resilient to unmet expectations. "When Prophecy Fails", etc.

The (very reasonable) comment this reply was originally threaded with is now dead, so I’ll post it here: Some level of fraud in a social welfare system is absolutely acceptable, if tightening controls to eliminate the fraud would mean that

Man, you think that's bad, just wait until you hear about how Americans treated the legacy of a gang of violent slave-owning traitors who tried to destroy the country and killed hundreds of thousands of Americans in the process

I don't understand how they could miss on 'interest'. Isn't this literally just based on what you 'like'? That shouldn't require advanced ML, just a simple JOIN!

The whole game for the social sociopaths is to pretend that the federal government had no obligation to provide for people's livelihoods during lockdown - which they absolutely did, obviously. This was wholly intentional, to sabotage h

I think there's a lot of reasons. Part of it is that, as the power of the tech industry has grown, journalists have become more active in exposing how it abuses that power to make the country, and the world, a worse and more degrading

There are a lot of half-wits, especially in tech, who think reflexive contrarianism is a sure sign of intelligence and wisdom.

Am I allowed to come into your house and scream into your ear without limit? Can you expect to go into a synagogue and hang a nazi flag from the rafters without them being able to ban you from the premise? I think that much of this kind of

> Look at what Democrats said just this year. Nadler asserted that if he wasn’t impeached, Trump would “rig the 2020 election.” How can you possibly say this is mere paranoia in the face of an active, ongoing attempt by both the Presiden

106 House Republicans have just joined in a lawsuit by 18 Republican AGs to overturn the results of the election. The Trump administration of course followed eight years of ferociously racist conspiracy-mongering about Obama's illegiti

Frankly, Gore should not have conceded - allowing the Bush campaign to steal that election set the stage for the unprecedented abuses of power that followed. The current attempt to steal the election is bound to fail, but it's setting

There's a terminally Online neo-fascist who goes around interviewing other terminally Online personalities. Of interest only to maybe a few thousand people globally who spend all their time following schizophrenic racists on twitter.

Coincidentally, “the state has decided to ease up on its brutal repression of poor black people” is also why the Musk family left South Africa

Curious to hear from the downvoters. What about Peter Thiel’s banal punditry justifies overlooking his active and enthusiastic contributions to neo-Nazis?

Name the specific true facts about reality you think these models are capturing that are at risk of being 'purified' by AI ethicists. List them.

Porn producers in the United States are already required to maintain a registry of their performers so that it can be verified that none of them are under 18. I'm not sure why you are reacting to a solution that is in some sense alr
