NIH funded gain-of-function research into coronaviruses in Wuhan via grants issued to EcoHealth Alliance. Which, even if you do not think lab leak theory is likely, is extremely reckless and incompetent. So, at best, they're funding il

There's a small minority of people who are adamantly refusing to change, such as there are in every technological revolution. Ego prevents them from even wholeheartedly trying the tool, because it would be admission they were wrong. Th

The EU will rely on US tech forever because it is literally not possible to create an EU alternative in that business climate. There are no major EU clouds, nor are there any major EU software services and there never will be because the EU

I think it's incredibly unlikely to be deliberate price fixing this time. Demand is too high.

Absolutely, it can be encrypted all they want and it's totally irrelevant given all the plaintext chats get stored straight in Google Drive (if you didn't, your conversation partners did!). Then for some reason WhatsApp has far mo

Starbucks is shifting corporate jobs from Washington state to Tennessee as a result of this rhetoric. Chicago's financial industry was famously carved out due to the same kind of rhetoric, with Citadel moving to Florida, causing massiv

And what about the jobs they take with them? Starbucks shifting corporate jobs to Tennessee is a pretty local and recent example. The average Starbucks corporate worker is squarely middle class. Their job is leaving as a result of this rhet

Over the last 100 years the wealthy have expanded their gap between themselves and everyone else AND poverty rates have become the lowest at any time in history. Seems to me that the status quo is allowing billions of the poorest people to

Even if it fails, California has taken a multi billion dollar tax hit from all of the wealth flight as a result of this. Not to mention that those people may take jobs with them, straight to Florida or Texas or other friendlier states. Thes

Fable specifically refused to harden the security of codebases. If you use misdirection to force Fable to do just that, that's the removal of a guardrail. Anthropic specifically stated that ANY security requests should be shunted to Op

by 0xy 4mo ago
What? Fable was designed to refuse to work on security issues, as Anthropic specifically confirmed. How is forcing Fable to work on things behind guardrails not breaking a guardrail? This is Anthropic's own claim. They were very specif

What? I personally experienced Fable outright refuse to do ANY security-related tasks, including hardening code or modifying security-related features. That was a guardrail. It was bypassed. Anthropic themselves specifically called them saf

Many made the same prediction about Twitter, and it seems to be more or less the same or higher activity than before, and Bluesky is continuing to rapidly decline (-5% DAUs per quarter). I wouldn't bet on Musk, but I DEFINITELY wouldn&

Why should any company acquiesce to a contemptible organization that ruined the web with useless cookie nag screens and is hellbent on banning encryption? The EU has done severe damage to the security of the web by training users to click a

Brexit was a referendum on immigration. It was the number one issue. Yet, successive governments since Brexit have turned immigration up to 11. No wonder they think it's a failure, the will of the people was ignored (and it's havi

You just finished praising Steam, the company responsible for the proliferation of DRM technology that does exactly what you claim to hate. If Steam goes offline, billions and billions of dollars of games go with it. The online ones, the of

Games explicitly do not promise online features remain available perpetually. No reasonable consumer would assume perpetual access, either. I also completely disagree that "it doesn't cost Valve anything to run Half Life". Fi

Why do you deserve free labor from a game developer that you paid a nominal amount to 10 years ago, not to mention infrastructure costs. At no point did you purchase unlimited free online service forever, by the way. The game developer did

Complete nonsense, as anyone who has worked on a service with scale would know. WhatsApp is not even close to the same architecture as it was at the time of acquisition. Not to mention the load constraints did not grow 7x, it's orders

The study controlled for that. Unhealthy people who continue working have lower mortality than those who stop working.

by 0xy 5mo ago
Why was it trivial for FB to scale WhatsApp from 450,000,000 users at acquisition to over 3,300,000,000 now? Seems like an insane achievement to scale a messaging service to half of the world.

There's a massive spike in mortality for those who retire from work versus those who keep working. In fact, working just a single year after you're 65 is associated with 11% lower risk of death for healthy people and 9% for unheal

The Biden era EPA covered up the East Palestine disaster by backdating policy changes to make the spill look less bad for the administration, didn't they? That's what an EPA whistleblower alleged.

How did these EPA regulations help prevent the East Palestine disaster? Didn't an EPA whistleblower credibly accuse the fully regulated EPA of a coverup including backdated policies in that incident? Sounds like a better system, coveru
