- jart 2y agoWonderful. I can't see how a society that stops believing in individual responsibility is going to keep believing in individual autonomy too. We've been seeing the same cultural shift in technology. SB1047 in California seeks to hold developers liable when other people misuse their AI models. There's also people who want to hold normal developers liable when people get hacked due to bugs in their code. If writing code and sharing it is a form of expression, that means no more freedom of expression. People are even being held liable for expression of beliefs too. It's a slippery slope that leads to not being allowed to do anything the state doesn't tell you to do.
- lazide 2y agoThat’s California in a nut shell. Be as weird and unique as you want, as long as it’s an ‘ok’ kind of weird and unique and you’ve filled out the right forms and gotten the correct insurance first. Or if you’re homeless, do whatever.
