Be careful what you wish for. This weekend in tearing out hundreds of crappy tests that got vibed into a codebase.

I won't. What's the difference here between resisting and absorbing volatility?

It's not bad faith but it certainly is pointed. Parent says it's not worth discussion until there is a test. I stand by my sentiment that refusing to engage with the morality of something just because we don't all have a clea

Thanks for the reply! I'm not sure I agree that consciousness (or sentience if we're making that distinction) is worthless when considering the morality of exploiting something/someone. I do agree there are more angles than t

It's nice when you can set an impossibly high bar before which you can dismiss all your personal responsibility. Does this argument work equally well for human slavery for you? We haven't met that bar for humans either. Is wonderi

Rich folks knowingly exploiting somebody for their own profit? Say it ain't so!

Even that is rarely the deciding factor (people harm dangerous animals for fun). Seems as simple as "will this action bring social shame/criticism" for any individual decision.

Seriously this We need people to stop internalizing that the government and the rich somehow deserve access to private data just because they want to use it. Seeing a way to make money using enough to make you entitled to it. Force business

"A mistake" is a far cry from criminal negligence and we shouldn't conflate them.

And accessibility. The posts above claiming design and content are inextricably linked are probably blessed with all the standard senses. As usual it's a bunch of folks talking past each other. Style and content together is a nice sim

Isn't that just the human problem for every possible form of government?

And therefore shouldn't be allowed to have opinions on crime and antitrust? Is that your argument?

The "you shouldn't need privacy if you aren't doing anything wrong" is such a tired yarn. There are many many many examples of abuse, both in the short term (flock gymnastics pedophiles, cop loveint, cross state abortion

The arrogance of this comment detracts from the kernel of good, which is that banks are very complicated and lots of the complication is regulatory and finance, not just software.

Don't forget ethical concerns about using things that only exist because of boatloads of criminal behavior. Some people are tired of situations where 14 year olds get hounded for years for downloading music but altman/amodei/

Equal parts very cool and very scary to me

That's much better than my original, perhaps unfair, read. Thanks for the additional info. I still would feel scared operating an established product off a newly changed stack the team isn't familiar with though.

Seriously! What a bonkers thing to claim. "I had codex use maestro so I assume it made Android work well and idiomatically". It's a fine project to do but clearly they put zero value on being familiar with the project's

I didn't downvote but I'd expect downvotes for a completely unnuanced thought terminating cliche that ignores everything in the thread. AI fanaticism doesn't help but lots of people don't get downvoted for that alone.

My claim is they don't actually believe and instead use the claim to cover/excuse bad behavior.

by collingreen 19d ago
I don't want to put millions into deeper poverty or poverty at all and I believe pushing that claim so hard is an intentional false dichotomy intended to excuse inaction. I know you want to paint me as selfish or, like the next comment

Nobody ACTUALLY thinks this way, they just want to break all the laws and make their billions without any consequences. We've already seen the big ai labs turn around and cry foul when others try to use their content but they are happy

Spoiler, the oil and other energy industries have done a world changing amount of lobbying and regulatory capture in order to drive decisions that cause more and more fossil fuel use. This includes everything from subsidies to industry stag

Your framing, that no collective action can ever include reduction or sacrifice, implies this is an inevitable and fatal path we cannot come back from. I hope you are wrong that nothing requiring sacrifice can ever be accomplished.

I'm sad to say I don't feel like I have a good handle on what is going to happen in the near future. Between the ongoing daily "flood the zone" from the administration and how fast AI is moving I have no idea what happen

I think they are saying people mislead customers into thinking they are getting a "$60 gaming pc" when they are actually just getting a 3d printed case with nothing inside.

Do those conservative people keep voting for Trump? Will they support his blatantly unconstitutional third term run? If so I think we need more words for nuances around what conservatism has come to mean.

Is this supposed to refute the comment you are replying to saying they don't track, or is it something else I don't understand? Is it just like a dunk on an eu site that tracks you? If it's "even this eu site chooses to

by collingreen 21d ago
We need more of this take. They literally could just stop tracking you and monetizing the data. The finger of blame should point straight at the folks doing the bad thing, not the rules that make them let you know they are doing the bad thi

The whataboutism is strong! I said a thing about American politics affecting many people beyond our borders, giving my blessing to an eu commenter to go ahead and comment on our politics. Did that seem like I said something about EU politic
