Europeans are telling me right now that americans have a moral imperative to mount an armed insurrection against the government. Which do you think is easier, insurgency or leaving twitter? I didn't just protest against this. I voted,

Now if only we could get europeans to leave twitter and instagram. Its one of the easiest ways to cut the source of power. We need government agencies and politicians especially to get off of there.

Its the same thing with eliminating red40 dye. its a crumb. At the very least they should end corn syrup subsidies. Its telling how people often bring up people buying candy with food stamps, but never trace the source of the problem back t

We're right in the danger zone where AI isn't good enough to replace you, but it's definitely good enough to convince executives that it can.

We need to take this idea further. Instead of "remote first", I'm waiting for the first company that will bodly declare "you can do all your work on your phone". I'm tired of lugging my laptop around. Let me wo

Let me pay usage based, with full transparency in hosting, infra, and energy costs. Like a utility. Subscription services are like hungry hungry hippos, you give them $10 a month and next year they want $100. I honestly think if everyone st

MrBeast is a hack, but its worth pointing out that all "progress bars" are bad design. You could make the same complaint against most of the progress bars in MsDOS. There was never a consistency in timing so you can never really u

I'm ashamed to admit that this made me laugh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJllhkPqixM I would be alright with making these more expensive to make though, so they don't overrun youtube. Also i'm sure the p

If serious conversation isn't possible on social media, then what do you call this? Is the conversation we're having now not both serious and on social media? I think if the great minds of old had access to our modern internet, th

Hear hear. Ban all advertising. We could do it slow. Start by banning all gambling and drug commercials. That's like 20% of all commercials right there. This is already normal in other countries. Then ban all billboards. People hate th

Sure, but there's nothing worse than when you want to have a serious conversation with someone, and all they can make are jokes. There are a lot of serious conversations we need to have as a society right now. And collectively, all w

I had such high hopes for blue sky. The team seems highly un-problematic. Every time I go on there it's just happy stories and people communicating. But still almost nobody uses it. And now worst of all, people are saying it doesn&#x27

The main difference is no personalized algorithm ranking content to increase engagement. The algorithm has consumed reels/shorts/tiktok/insta. Being extremely inflammatory is rewarded there.

For me, google searches are defaulting to "AI mode" I just asked it the same question on 2 different devices. The question I asked was harder than why is the sky blue. I asked it "who was Edmund Fitzgerald". One device,

I'd love to lobby for "the right" to opt out of AI features. When I google search "why is the sky blue" , it spins up an LLM. This is incredibly wasteful for simple, known answers. When my friend googles the same th

Thank you for at least acknowledging that we may eventually feel differently about AI. I'm so tired of being called a luddite just for voicing reservations. My company is all in on AI. My CEO has informed us that if we're not &quo

Absolutely. This feels raw, human, and authentic. I notice people often use the "aesthetic of intelligence" to mask bad arguments. Just because we have good formatting, spelling, and grammar with citations and sources -doesnt mean

Yep. For example with google searches. There's no comprehensive option to opt out of all AI. You can (for now) manually type -noai after every google search, but that's quite annoying and time consuming. You're breaking the e

I think getting everyone around me to stop eating meat is not based in objective reality. If we had better animal welfare laws and meat became prohibitively expensive, I would be absolutely fine with that. I think incremental progress is po
