Sorry what? Perhaps this is jurisdiction specific but I’m not sure what you’re referring to. In Australia they’ve recently got their full banking license. I use it for personal and small business banking. Lots of useful features. Can you el

Is there already a law against camping in public spaces? Apply that law. Any treatment of groups other than according to the law (when the law itself makes no mention of a discriminating attribute) is racism/sexism/etc. One law fo

I think one attack vector where anthropomorphisation is a key part of the attack mechanism is - as it already is IRL - the meat-bag weakest link ie. social engineering. We’ve already seen humans fall prey to the seductive charms of LLMs (eg

Like his actual words against the Roma? I don’t know about fascist but he’s definitely a self-identifying fucking racist.

I think your position, while not uncommon, represents a failure of imagination. We have a sitting president that appears to suffer from narcissism. Is it too much of a stretch to believe that a goal-seeking, people-pleasing, infinitely pati

To all the people who didn’t flag the article but seem intent on flagging all Tim’s responses to questions, please stop. You’re making it quite annoying for those of us that want to see those responses.

Your username is self chosen. If you elect to be offended by people using it that’s on you. And like you, I’m not “asserting that you’re an asshole”. I’m also not “elevating the definition”. True cultural erasure involves the active banning

Since you’re happytoexplain, please explain to me what cultural replacement/disruption looks like in western countries. I can see it happening in countries like China with the Uighurs, in Bangladesh with the Rohingya, but I can’t see a

A bit of blue-sky mining here. What if this trend continues and accelerates? Microsoft have 3 options: 1. Continue their merry way and cede market share. 2. De-enshitify Windows and win back market share. 3. If you can’t beat them, join the

My 2c. A lot of what’s being discussed here may boil down to experience (or lack thereof) of writing good functional (and non-functional) requirements. Some developers are always thinking about implementation (or at least, implementation ap

I agreed with everything you said up until “he’ll be convicted”. Not a snowflake’s chance in hell unless the DSA metaphorically push the doddering old guard down the stairs.

Doing nothing is surrender. So what do you propose people do? What are you doing? Is it effective?

You’re right. They didn’t bother. They did bother to do the thing they loved doing - the thing of value - and didn’t bother doing the boring thing. Instead of finding it within yourself to offer some thanks or encouragement you find an unim

Rupert Murdoch was/is one of the best, most direct, most prolific (thanks to his massive media ownership) manipulators of public opinion for precisely this purpose. This cartoon nailed it. https://www.instagram.com/p&#x

As a non-USian but a fan of your republic’s ideals, I understand. I feel incredibly saddened at the slow-motion self-immolation that seems to be consuming your country. I read this article yesterday and couldn’t believe what I was reading.

Lol. Firstly, how we live now is far different to how we lived 100 years ago (people ate far less red meat than we do today for example). Secondly, how the bulk of humanity lives is inevitably going to change drastically. The choice we have

Love it. A great rabbit hole. Spent way too long reading some of the wacky and reasonable ideas. Loved the study-assist use case for Suno.

Full. Of. Shit. When I read anything written by an LLM, I feel either indifferent or annoyed. When I read the self-serving, reality-dissonant, vacuous tripe that Zuckerborg writes - knowing that its impact will be outsized and that he means

I always thought that those that can deny something control it. The workers, by withdrawing their labour, have effective control. However it’s rarely exercised and I think that’s partly because of lack of belief that it’s true. These days o
