If you go to the Google ngram viewer you won’t see a single occurrence of whataboutism before 2006. I’m not saying it was coined at the Liberals Coining Scare Words 2006 conference, but use of the word is a hallmark of a shitlib hypocrite.

This is like saying “I don’t understand how airplanes fly, so I’ll happily board an airplane designed by an LLM. The reality is determined by how much I know about it.”

You can learn how compilers work and understand how they do what they do. Nobody understands what’s in those billions of parameters, and no one ever will.

What if in your third analogy you replace millions of students by billions of processes running on machines, each of which can generate output ten thousand times faster than a college educated human?

If you found a way to have a million children who could grow up in one day your analogy would be more apt. In that case you and your children would rightly be considered a threat.

I grew up in a socialist country before the fall of communism. Us kids of my generation were envious of the flashy lights and billboards that we saw in the movies from the west. The architecture of pre 20-th century was as flashy and kitsch

I think you’re under the impression that google.com is some sort of a public good, while it’s actually a privately owned platform. I think your issue might be with capitalism. Or maybe it’s with people who don’t want to switch to another se

You replied to my comment, in which I’m explicitly talking about the green card process. Most people on H1-B are trying to get a green card. I thought you were talking about transferring the green card process, because I was talking about t

Only after labor and then I-140 have been approved, which together typically take more than a year. Also, many employers won’t start your green card application until you’ve been there for a year.

So… no evidence? Putting ads at the top of the page is nothing like your original claim that Google lets advertisers impersonate other businesses. I didn’t ask if you care about Google’s policy on impersonation, but whether you have an exam

When you’re on H1-B you’re applying for the green card through your employer, which is a multi-year process. So even if you find an employer who will sponsor it, you’ll be going back to the end of the line.

Government regulates some parts of telecom business, a lot of it it doesn’t. I couldn’t find any regulations pertaining to yellow pages, that’s why I was asking. I doubt there are any. Please provide some evidence of Google systematically v

Brave edgelords exposing Google mafia for what it is can’t take a little condescension. Heroes just aren’t what they used to be. Despite my best efforts I can’t follow your overstretched analogy. How does Google redirect anything by putting

Did the phone company provide the service for free or did you have to pay the phone bill? Congratulations on discovering how advertising works.

People used to buy consumer electronic magazines for product reviews, and those magazines had pages of flashy ads at the beginning. I guess that was mafia stuff too. Or just one of million examples of an advertising-based business model.

I read that the British word posh comes from Port Out - Starboard Home, which is the type of UK to US return ticket you’d get, if you could afford it, to have a cabin facing the sun both ways.

I’m sure it outperforms the general population since most people can’t code a hello world, or regurgitate an answer to a problem they have been trained to answer but have no understanding of like ChatGPT can. But if a minimally competent hu

Meh, even without the mobile platform, which they didn’t have in 2005, there were no good alternatives to Google search then and switching the default to something else would have hurt Safari more than Google. My money is on the bidding war
