>Vote for an opposition which promises mass deportations? Certainly, they will never go back on their word to create a surveillance state?!? Not quite a fan of deportations, but I'd rather risk people going back on their word than t

Because this is a government website and not the actual constitution. It's absurd. This is just not how any of this works.

Funny enough, I see this whole framing as sexist itself. Nobody would have bat an eye if he said "clueless guys" or "clueless gents", and given the prevalence of women in HR, that wording would actually have more chances

You've also got the crowd who would argue that there's nothing wrong with being fat in the first place and that are scared of society pressing on this matter again after years of pushback.

Not every boundary is worth pushing. I'm hoping it will eventually become better, or maybe I haven't quite seen stuff prompted properly yet, but all I've heard coming from an AI feels aggressively mediocre and average, not

It actually shocks me that anyone thinks that's supposed to be an obvious case for rejection of the concept, we've had similar for free for the longest time.

"Trust the science" will work as long as science works, which even to this day is pretty nicely, this practice is given a bad name by the "Trust the science*" crowd, which activity is based on having a position then atte

Only because it uses words like "injustice" or "minorities". It was my first impression as well, but if I get over my gag reflex and actually read the lines carefully, it seems the "injustice" basically means t

Your example touches on a very related phenomenon. Videogame design. Anyone who has activated cheats on videogames enough times can attest to the fact that it takes the enjoyment away. We do have games with superficial, skinner-like rewards

Where would books like Twilight or 50 shades of grey rank on this "weirdness" scale? Sexism? Those two books had orders of magnitude more of an impact on society, where is the outrage?

An app that was created to publicly share images and public information of people got the images and public information of the people sharing it exposed. I don't know how can anyone feel wrong about this without feeling even worse for

But you are just explaining why you are bigoted, bigotry which, in turn, you imply explains why you don't think it's wrong to be sexist. Sexist enough to disregard the importance of publicly sharing people's information. Do y

You do need some theory in there though, no? I mean guitarrists paying no attention to theory only to have eureka moments with sort of basic stuff is pretty much a meme at this point.

>The relevant question is, why would a stranger take time out of their life to evangelize an open source VCS tool? To make a point? To prove that "they are right"? People do this constantly , tools, libraries, languages... All

>But what about other scenarios though? Would you feel the same about a game where the player runs around raping women, or capturing and lynching escaped slaves? Yes and yes. We have worse stuff in literature already.

I don't see how this makes any sense. A reason for the creation of Bitcoin was offering less service than traditional methods? "Financial institutions cannot avoid mediating disputes" is nonsense, they "can't&qu

I'm sure it's nothing like a panacea, but I've lost count of the times in which getting some context behind a report of a bad experience shows recklessness or just plain old bad decisions. It also works the other way around,

The exact same way it always worked. It's also obscenely disingenuous to ask for donations like they do with this current model. Downright insulting.

On both of those cases there tends to be an abundance of comments denigrating either character in unhinged, Reddit-style manner. As far as I am concerned they are both clowns, which is precisely why I don't want to have to choose betwe

It was also stating that the life of a single Jew is worth more than that of two million non-Jews. LLMs can occasionally say crazy stuff, that is not surprising, and I think we should do better than leaning into the outrage machine. The opp
