Unlike many comments here, this doesn't resonate with me. Grinds have always had some part that benefits from automation. Rarely can the whole thing be automated in any reasonable timeframe, but individuals parts can easily be. Ofte

Yes, but even worse it will be a local optima of the efficiency function you've chosen and people often choose very poor efficiency functions that ignore second order and higher effects.

Ability to divide a problem in smaller problems recursively until you have problems that are more manageable while avoiding being overwhelmed by the overall problem. Anyone who has played a new 4x game blind likely has experienced a sort o

It is deeper than that because even if we were to assume society was entitled to them, we still wouldn't know how best to optimize them. To what extent does play involving complex problems contribute to those brain cycles being worth

I think it does, but I also think it sharpens it. I have been helping one kid with a programming class and one thing I've noticed is that they often lack a certain approach to problem solving that I personally developed by playing vide

Those cases generally aren't entrapment. They get pretty close, but they don't include the final push. The other party is free to walk away without taking the bait. Granted, I've only read the details on a few cases but in

The incentivizing argument seems to be a red herring because in no universe would we legalize some subset of child porn that is shown to not incentivize more being produced, no matter how clearly such a case was shown.

We can definitely do better, but you have to allow for legal porn with consent to remain or else you will push everything to an underground market where the end result will be far less rules to control content. One thing that would be nice

I don't see why non-consensual gore isn't treated the same as child porn. Both are done without consent. Both require someone to be hurt to be created. Both either have a victim who is dead or who is harmed by the continue spread

If a war on drugs has taught us anything, a war on porn is going to lead to far worse porn being spread further than ever before while innocent lives are ruined, much like how teenagers are already being charged as adults for sexting while

It sounded like they were intended to drop them on land, where one would hope no ships would be hitting them. 'Lost' would be referring to the likely chance that once put on the desert they wouldn't be retrieved.

Intent and justification. Intent is the easier one to understand. Neurodivergent often don't act with the same intent that someone being an asshole does. Two people tell you that you shouldn't be eating that cookie. One is inte

If a society punishes people for blowing the whistle, then perhaps that society should reassess priorities and realities. Why should I blame any person for choosing their own lives in a society that would see them punished for doing otherw

To clarify, are you disagreeing with their point, or just the examples they used? I'm able to read your comment either way, so I'm not sure.

Is pure romantic love devoid of transactions? Many couples involve two people giving commitment and expecting commitment back. Sure, not all couples are so monogamous, but many if not most are. People have expectations of what to receive

Lower threshold for one to occur. A cancel attempt can be really small. Sometimes a single person is enough. More targeted and more often aimed at specific individuals. As a side effect of the above, it is much easier to devolve into hara

But that isn't the standard that was used. It seems to be something more akin to 'don't not moderate content that encourages...'. Except it isn't quite clear what moderation is considered good enough, as one can l

Yes, but a private company does not have to be consistent in how it applies it standard. One could even argue the standard is consistent but more complex, something of a difference between 'ban app that allows bad things' and &#x

Yes, but you still start with the first instruction. It is like a function that changes behavior after the first time in executes. The first execution will still do what it says. You have to explicitly call out that you want the last step

Our current law makes a sharp divide between children and adults, but I think when you ignore the current law and instead look at the reasoning and the data we have, the comparison is pretty sound. The gap in knowledge and domain specific

I had a similar quiz. I never really liked them because it always bothered me why I was expected to follow the last instruction first, regardless of what it said. Even if it said to ignore the previous instructions, I would only be follow

If the cost is great enough, why hasn't a new standard been adopted? Is it that there aren't better options, or is it the challenge in getting enough buy in onto one specific option for it to be of use and capable of being seen a

"Whatabouting" or "whataboutism" is just the negative name for pointing out inconsistent application of standards.
