“Fun” fact: Even the creator of one of the most widely recognised and used assault riffles wasn’t enthusiastic about it by the end. https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/01/13/262096410...

This is reductive to the level of the people misusing the Douglas Adams quote, with a sprinkle of false dichotomy. Fear and embrace aren’t the only options, and neither camp is entirely positive or negative. There is plenty of middle ground

In fairness to Google, it’s not like they didn’t warn us. The service is called “Ad Mob”, after all. “Nice app you got there. It would be a shame if your account got banned.”

It would still be nice if you stated upfront that this is built with AI. The people who are interested in “no AI features” are likely to also be the ones who do not want something built with AI. It would help to be clear about the project’s

I get what you’re saying, but that doesn’t seem helpful. We don’t need to discuss better words to describe the intricacies of the situation, we need to do something about it. It also doesn’t help to keep saying “this does seem to be the r

Not every company is publicly traded, so they don’t have shares nor shareholders. Also, not every company is a massive behemoth who only cares about profit above all. Plenty of people start companies with the goal of providing something use

Bingo. And algorithmic social media feeds reward fringe opinions—the more hateful the better—because those drive “engagement” which translates to attention, fame, money. Which means people are incentivised to be as controversial as possible

Oh, this was not parody… Looks to be just a bad faith argument about abortion from a “Pro-Life Catholic Mother” rage baiter who loves guns, is against women voting, and is “just asking questions” on the street.

There seems to always be an encoded loophole, eh? Though while marking anyone an “enemy” is subjective to interpretation, “armed” not so much. Unless, of course, you bring a sandwich with you to the polls. https://www.mediaite.co

Exactly. This (the argument you’re replying to) is basically the same as when some new tech is introduced to the public (e.g. LLMs) and on day one you get hundreds of hot takes on how some company (e.g. Google) is DOOMED . As if they’ll ju
