> Sending you an email after you signed up is "unethical"? The premise is that people are specifically opting OUT of those emails. Feel free to keep "hustling", feel free to treat people as resources to exploit, just

Who’s angry? We’re just not interested in someone else’s unethical and unwelcome business practices and are acting to curtail its impact. Your dreams of business success aren’t my problem, and neither is your shamelessness.

Your argument would make more sense if the vast majority of the species didn’t already have a smartphone.

Sure they do, Uber is probably the most famous in that regard, but plenty break things and pay a fine later. In fact I’d say that sort of law breaking is downright routine. The key difference is the ability to afford a really good legal and

Anthropic in particular does this masterfully, you’d think they’d invented Skynet by the way they hand-wring. As always what matters are actions and evidence, not talk.

I'm not sure that the word formally exists yet, which implies that if you can popularize it then you could be first to the punch! "My God, look at the hooves, this was bovicide without any doubt."

Murder is a crime, homicide is the act. A lion doesn’t murder because it isn’t capable of breaking human law, but it can sure commit a homicide.

No disagreement across cultures? That’s downright funny, there isn’t even agreement over what counts as murder. Do you think a jihadi sawing off a head thinks they’re a murderer? Cultures aren’t universal, and neither is your particular rel

Most of us feel that way, but that comes with a desire to avoid engaging with unhappy internet denizens finding company in their misery. Remember that social media is a distortion of reality driven by whoever is willing to dedicate the most

I miss the days when such people lacked the power to turn their half-baked fantasies into a broken reality for the rest of us. Alas.

Unsurprisingly when people here engage in serious politics beyond a desire to enrich themselves, those politics tend to take on a distinctly libertarian bent. I’m not sure what else people expect though, this is a very sheltered group with

In this case I'd say that it was made not to enable that, but in total disregard of its realistic uses and risks. In a sense this is less... deliberate poisoning, and more doing a bad job cutting heroin with fentanyl for distribution.

An amount of soda sufficient to make you ill would be very VERY detectable in food. Speaking as someone who makes their own honeycomb toffee and soda bread, it's really easy to mess up the ratios and end up with an excess that tastes n

The author seems to have a pretty extensive history of… strong disdain for Artemis II. While has mentioned concerns about the heat shield before it was in the context of a laundry list of complaints, and it was nowhere close to the top. I’m

Speaking for myself unless I know the site and like how they do things, my default these days is a reader view. It helps a lot! In this case it helped me lose interest in the article within about 20 seconds.

There’s a deeply flawed hidden assumption here, which is that the individual in question is the only possible source for the relevant information that the AI can harvest. In the real world that absurdly rare, original thought is rare becaus

Fortunately there's a big gap between "College kids" and "Kids", and by the time you're in college it's not just about having fun anymore. Sports in college, whether we like it or not, are a large source o

Well then good news, this article and the discussion are only talking about the Olympics, not childhood sports.

Is anyone worth listening to seriously suggesting that informal childhood sports are somehow equivalent to programs that can define academic or professional careers? Edit I’d add that T screening in sports exists primarily to find dopers, n

Speaking for myself I believe that trans people and non-binary people should be accommodated, but there’s a contextual limit. When it comes to equal protection, employment, healthcare, medical access, bathrooms and a dozen other issues it’s

That’s a very fun way to think about it, but it’s far more effective in a semantic debate than a serious one. I also don’t for a minute believe that the goal here is some broader reform of how the world talks about statistical distributions

I would say that humans are sexually dimorphic in the same way that humans are bipeds. if you attempted to make a serious argument that limb agenesis implies that we’re a variable-limbed species it would be obfuscating rather than illuminat

That doesn’t seem to be the case, given the first paragraph of the article: > The International Olympic Committee has barred transgender athletes from competing in the women’s category of the Olympics and said that all participants in th
