They are saying that the product is already available then implying a government deal on behalf of all citizens doesn't matter because the product is already available.

This is exactly my concern as well. Take it a step further and make it explicitly ai arbitration and that will really be something.

Earth lobsters with their neurons fully mapped, given freedom by running them virtually and sending them into space, if I recall correctly. Not a huge distinction but the origin as regular lobsters feels important to the transhumanism (tra

Sub in the vampires for equally cold androids from the alien series and you've got it made. We're on the cusp of viscerally exploring blindsight's central theme of what does it look like to have intelligence without sentience

A few current situations that are leaning this way in theme: - ai facial recognition used by police, detaining innocent people with no recourse or consequences - ai military decisions made without human in the loop. Double points for the de

I take your point and also don't give a damn about corporate profits but it is a little bit "talking past" the parent. To me the important part of parents point was the next step: therefore the companies will just avoid selli

I don't think most game owners could take the server side software and assemble it into working servers their game could contact and use. This isn't realistic and needs something to change at the fundamental server design side and

Sometimes the easy solution isn't easy for all sides or even realistic. "Fuck the publishers" is easy but not going to get a lot of publisher buy in. We all agree there is a foolproof method to fixing all bugs - delete all th

Just Covid? Not all vaccinations for endemic disease they will definitely be exposed to? If so, why just covid? If not, when is the right time, if any, to give vaccinations that appear to be very effective (or do we think the data is unreli

Learning from code review lashings is amazing in its effectiveness and minimal blast radius! I'm glad you were able to take that in the easy way. Scar tissue from production going down and staying down is probably powering those code r

I really really don't like the current administrations decisions and lack of integrity but I'm not sure this particular failure is only one side. We need a much better system for making the government more transparently for the gr

Strongly agree with you. This was badly using the tools and not gaining understanding because of it. Although if the take is simply "you're holding it wrong" then it's hard to deny that it's very easy to hold this t

Yeah I don't think AI is required for above, it just pushes the question of what's going to happen if huge swaths of jobs go away. Parent asked who is going to pay taxes in that world. I'm simply saying there's a version

They aren't. Nobody in power is so dumb they haven't thought of this yet - the scary idea is that those people in power don't think this is a problem, which implies the normal folk like us are either on our own or actively ex

No, of course not? I don't even disagree with your main premise but obviously "raw number of merged PRs" is not a high signal metric, even more so in the age of agentic/vibe coding.

Seems petty clear the intent of the post you are replying to isn't to hold random parents accountable for thousands and instead to hold app developers (add maybe too open app marketplaces) accountable for malicious app behavior

What are some good examples of classical logical fallacies that are good rules of thumb in your opinion? Maybe appeal to authority and ad hominem? Some iconic ones stick out to me as pretty bad, especially when they are so often used to exp

I get your take that people should take the responsibility for things they are doing. Without arguing your point there are a couple more things to consider from the perspective of the company and the society at large. From the company persp
