A more verbose description of the practice known as "yak shaving" or "letting the perfect get in the way of good". More storytelly, emotional. It's popular. It appeals to some profiles: The leader who doesn't u

They want some statistics. Not my personal information (I have nothing of value). Maybe they want it for a good cause, who knows? Would I really trust a random interneter over a company that has a reputation to keep? You overestimate my pol

Nope, Google is a friend. It keeps my records outside of reach of possible lower actors. If it turns out to be an enemy, then everyone's screwed either way.

Simplest explanation is often the most accurate. A big company wants my data, or is it just an idiot who cloned my hard drive? Just an idiot who cloned my hard drive is the most likely scenario.

Yeah. But that's too much paranoia even for me, a schizophrenic. If someone powerful wants your encrypted data, they will have it. It's dumb. In my case, it would make them look like fools. Not even a dick pick or secret affair to

I think you actually stand in a "moving enemy" narrative. Sometimes it's a celebrity, sometimes is a group, sometimes a concept. Spies, commies, AI, feminism. You like to feel like you're the one giving the cards, that y

If Sarah Connor doesn't know who's the doppelganger, would you hurt by being shot in the foot (where you stand)? I don't stand on AI. That's easy for me.

Can you commit to a "swords into ploughshares" goal? We know it's a sword. And there's war, yadda yadda. However, let's do the cultivating thing instead. What other AI players we need to convince?

The issue of self doubt is quite interesting. Are you trying to copy The Matrix? With some "know thyself" thing? You know that it's a trick, right? I can just not use AI. I don't have an inferiority complex about it. If

That reminds me of the Dictator movie. All dissidents went into Little Wadyia. When the Dictator himself visited it, he started to fake his name by copying the signs and names he saw on the walls. Everyone knew what he was. Internet social

Remember when this idea bred those fake minimalist preachers? Mistaking constraint-based design for asceticism? Too much constraints, you end up in a corner. It reminds me of Windows Metro. That was good constraint-based design. Lots of cle

You know I can do the wordplay acrobatics too if I want, right? You don't understand why I do it, which is hilarious from my perspective. Can you _not do it_ and still make sense? (rethorical)

Are we doing free will versus determinism? That's a fun discussion. I'll play free will. Let me use the classic: We already know that sensing is related to consciousness. What no one was able to prove is that is all there is to it

Humanity is a fine thread between "lobotomized drones" (divided on two sides, sounds familiar?) and "aggressive clowns" (no respect, get provoked by anything, can't see an inch over their faces). Of course, it'

The suggestion that an artificial intelligence follows a specific kind of writing style is a trap. Relying on that to automatically detect their use makes no sense. From a teaching perspective, if there is any expectation that artificial in

I am sorry, it makes no sense. You will just alienate whoever is kind. Trust me, this problem has no solution. Kindness will be gone, and no one will ever notice.

The problem I want to solve has nothing to do with limited resources. Lack of kindness. There is no way to solve it. No amount of resources, talent, funding or media can solve it. It's a very simple problem with no solution.
