As a citizen I support my government's decision to not fund the Ukraine. I never supported it, most people don't. It's common sense, why send our money halfway across the globe to fight a battle that has nothing to do with us

My own country lies to me far more than Russia could ever even dream it. The president of the US went on live tv and said he saw non-existent "beheaded babies" just to service Israel. Russia isn't even a blip of a problem for

I find it ironic since your complaint about DEI almost certainly comes from the dreaded trolls you're referencing. I don't actually need a "troll" to tell me I don't want to spend billions of my tax dollars defendin

I would argue that all aggregations of power are truly hostile, whether that's the US, the EU or Meta.

I think you may have replied to the wrong comment or this is a very drastic non sequitur.

Just food for thought... I have a hard time viewing the people who want to restrict speech as my ally. Quite the opposite. I'll take so-called (likely fictional) "trolls" over restrictions of speech any day of the week.

There are calls for terrorism and genocide coming daily from the MSM in Europe and the US.

This is the kind of thing you don't have to contend with if you host outside of Europe. I don't care about your beef with Russia, I do care about free speech though.

Like you said, the truly hostile entities will gain access anyway. The people breaking into the systems to gain access are the ones you really need to be worried about. I'm pretty sure the US government has that capability if it wants

Indeed. GDPR, cookie laws, draconian anti-free speech content policies. I'm not a fan at all of the US government but Europe has proven to be the last place on earth you want to host something.

Every government and big company spies on you. If you don't host your own hardware, you should expect that. If you do host your own hardware, you're still vulnerable to things like Mossad spyware. None of this is new, and Europe i

If I even have to think about installing node.js or dealing with some Python rat's nest, I absolutely care.

The people working in DOGE are the absolutely last people on earth I would trust to tell me what was going on. Just assume they have copies of all sensitive data they've encountered and that data has already been spread via them gett

That's absolutely no reason to attack anyone.

They're not "outsider activists", they're customers affecting the bottom line.

Protesting weapons manufacturing has been going on long before reactionaries started fearing the "woke" boogeyman. People protested Dupont for making napalm during the Vietnam war.

The US is not under any kind of credible threat and in fact is the aggressor across the globe and perpetrator of crimes against humanity at scale. This is not a recent phenomena and has been going on as long as this country has existed.

This is the case for boycotts, so a for-profit company loses when they make immoral decisions that destroy the brand and impact the bottom line.

You can and should be upset. No reason to become complacent, that's a path to accelerated destruction.

The lesser evil is still evil! I do know I've seen a lot less dead children since the Biden admin ended.

I would be very concerned about any of the first three having government data access as well!

Musk already gained access to everyone's private Twitter data. He also gathers data from Tesla sensors. Now he has access to private citizen's federal data. Very dangerous for any private, unaccountable individual to have this l

I'm thinking the same thing that I was thinking when Biden was president, that Israel has corrupted our entire government. Nothing that's happening here even approaches what we've been enabling in Gaza, so if you weren't

I'm not in the Democratic party and had no role in defining their platform. What we are experiencing is 1/100th the pain the Democrats inflicted on Palestinians.

> We'd need to get to the point where AIs do consistently better than, say, 60 to 70% of the human doctors for insurance companies to feel even semi-comfortable saying "we use AI doctors". I feel like at the rate AI is d

It's not that they lack compassion, it's that they have bias and other non-job related issues. They also are usually rushed and busy, often over confident in their own original assessments. I would think care from an AI would answ

I actually would rather interact with a "robot" doctor. Most doctors I've dealt with have been snide, judgmental, rushed and arrogant. I actually don't feel like I'm getting the best treatment possible, but I would

I don't agree. Walls are physical items so your example is true, but models are data. Anyone can train off of these models, that's the current environment we exist in. Just like OpenAI trained on data that has since been locked up

OpenAI's models were also trained on billions of dollars of "free" labor that produced the content that it was trained on.

Private companies and random rich people having the ability to censor AI is every bit if not more terrifying than government censorship.
