I don't think governments are infallible, and I didn't argue as such. I don't agree that regulations are inherently bad. If you want to race to the bottom, I can easily pull out some extreme scenario of giving AK-47's

This comment is so disingenuous it's ridiculous. It's like opposing gun regulation with some contrived scenario about water pistols and Nerf guns.

Yes, but gun regulations don't operate under the assumption that guns shoot people on their own. They operate under the understanding that people who do damage can do much more damage with guns than without. Pretending that any of the

It's as unanswerable a question as "how many lives would have been lost by dangerous medications with long-term side effects that didn't become apparent in the term of testing?" We can't really know whether it was a

Replace "software" with "guns" in your post and it's the same effect.

Yeah, like food safety regulations, other places still won't abide. It's not like "other places still will allow abuse of their citizens" is a great argument for us to as well. Safety regulations exist in every major ind

The people who worked for the company created something. The people who work for the company collect rent on things they didn't make.

Is it more creative to use your own company's IP? Most of these copyrighted and trademarked stories and characters are being made by people who didn't come up with them anyway, so what's the difference in creativity whether y

The copyright system is what has enabled so few companies (and one giant corporation in particular) to become the owners, controllers, and beneficiaries of the vast majority of American fiction and culture. From visual media companies, reco

We are descended from chimps in the same way that I am descended from my cousin. Edit: I'm realizing this could be a language barrier. "Descendent" is the inverse of "ancestor". A descendent is directly downward in

Correct. But I think the intention is conveyed in the wording itself. When somebody says "deliberately manipulating", you can fill in the extra "for one's own benefit and with no regard to the well-being of the manipul

Learning to touch type any layout, either when first learning to type or learning a new layout, is seriously hampered by ever looking at your hands. You should use a layout chart and navigate the keyboard by touch. There's a reason tha

As a long time Dvorak user, I'm always baffled by people wanting visual Dvorak layouts and physically rearranging their keycaps (which is a really bad idea on many keyboards, with cap angle differing by row). Dvorak really speeds up to

Might be taxed at a really high rate, or production might be low. Took Colorado a long time for the prices to really go down, and it still varies a ton from city to city.

If you're making firecrackers or just throwing rough weed into butter, it can be rough. It's a drug, and you should partake safely. Weigh the flower, estimate the percentage of that weight that's THC (20% is usually safe), de

Here in Colorado, I can get an ounce for under $50: https://cannabisdepotco.com/menu/pueblo?store_path=%2Fmenu%2... That's what I used to pay for an eighth.

More popular and significantly less expensive, usually.

There are already some extremely potent products on the market, and overuse is easy and can cause some really gnarly side effects. I always recommend people stick with flower and home made edibles for safety sake. I dabbled in the stronger

In Colorado, I know a ton of people who grow their own. You just have to have a lockable enclosure, but most people don't bother and don't get any heat for it anyway.

Yes, there are other ways to do it, but adding another tool as an option is good, too. Being able to nest containers makes composeability a little bit better, too. For instance, if I want an image that effectively has multiple base images,

While what you say logically makes sense, it's very difficult to handle the thought for most people. Most people are either racist and disagree with the latter part of what you say, or are anti-racist and reject even the possibility of

So you didn't know how absolutely crushing it is to spend years trying to get your first novel published while working full time in a manual position, and find that you moved from competing with hundreds of other people every time you

That's not true of novel writing in the least, and clearly not what I was talking about. AI is already heavily impacting fiction and writing communities. How many active novelists do you hang out with? The ones I know are talking a lot

The scale is different by a grand margin. If 50% of US jobs are replaced by AI in the next 20 years, and those jobs aren't replaced by other jobs, and people depend on income to survive, what happens? I'm not saying to ban it. I t
