There are no lizard people coordinating our march towards dystopia. Just individual people who will–like me–read this article, think we should do more, and then probably do nothing. There doesn't have to be an explicit conspi

The comments so far assume that Discord / Twitch / Snapchat don't care as entities that people will start bypassing their age verification systems. I believe the rank-and-file think that's the case. I think even the engi

Universalising any group is dangerous, but this isn't true for even the least informed young people I know. They grew up being watched. They know what these data harvesting operations are and how dangerous this is. They've got fro

They're already using discord. It's a single click. I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm not here to argue particulars. I'm sharing my reality as a user. A user who runs multiple communities. Including one for my

I'm saying this in a jocular tone, because - otherwise - the reality is too depressing. But I know people like this. Anyone with a large enough social group will have some people like this. These are people who've engaged in foo

Multi-billion dollar corporations have never had any problems lobbying for their interests before. Perhaps collecting everyone's messages, social links, scanning their faces, and then adding ID data in for "ground truth" is t

There's a special phenomenon that happens as startups grow large. They begin to drift away from the ground truth of their product, their users and how it's used. It's a drift away from users. And a drift towards internal poli

I recently found out that there's no such thing as Anthropic support. And that made me sad, but not for reasons that you expect. Out of all of the tech organizations, frontier labs are the one org you'd expect to be trying out cut

Great question! Perhaps. Perhaps that was one of the use cases, but the inconsistent diameter could also be the result of them being bad at digging tunnels. Digging tunnels by hand is hard (and - dare I say - scary).

A lot of folks are latching on to the "hiding place" theory, and that could very well might have been one of the use cases. But as the article points out, the lack of a second exit makes that unlikely. I would like to offer a comp

Such articles are interesting because they're tacit disapproval, but I would argue that this use of the O-1 is the most American way to use it. There's a reason why Hollywood became the Earth's center of cultural gravity post

Yes, but they seem to be talking about a specific product? "(4GB was $70 now $110, next batch probably ~$150 by now if nothing improves)" I think it's reasonable to ask, what's $70, now $110 and $150? If you&#x2
