That's not how defamation works. You're saying that if the statement is out there, surely people will do a deep investigation into the correctness of it? They won't.

It's fake libertarianism. So imagine this happening to these commenters. Somebody publishes that you're a pedo. Out of the blue. The relationship with your sons break down, nobody wants anything to do with you in community or busi

"If you stand by takedowns, why prefer removal of a link over the source material?" Because it's often impossible. Different jurisdiction or hosting services not complying with the request.

False, they should be responsible and they already are. Google does not link to pirated content. If and when they do, they take it down when it's reported. As they are legally required to do. Google may remove personal information as p

Let's establish here that this is reputation and possibly life-ending defamation. The man became suicidal after all. If I were to write a book with such a claim about you, completely made up, and you'd report this to the book stor

POSSE is great from a content ownership perspective, and having syndication is better than having nothing in place. That said, posting links to original content tends to get low engagement and is generally disliked on downstream social netw

I was not aiming at rich, instead at the concept that time is zero-sum. You should work hard and also spend the maximum amount with friends. And your parents. Also, exercise, sleep well, and so on. Doing a long list of things very well migh

Personally, I've come to the conclusion that densification is a tweak against very powerful odds rather than a sustainable long term solution. Proper 21st century thinking would be to rethink work, mobility, culture, care and how peopl

It's like combining the advise of Schwarzenegger, Dr Phil, Yoda, a random tech bro's substack, life-hack Youtube stars, and more. None of the advise is incorrect of course, it's just that the sum is unattainable and at times

Nobody will watch your weekend project. Because it fails to impress, anybody can make it. "Unlimited" is not the paradise that you think it is.

Yes, there's value in scarcity of skill as well as scarcity of output. Skill: if the merit part is entirely lost, surely we will value art far less compared to now. Anybody can make anything so what is the point? Output: lots of art to

A good point, and I've been puzzled by how hard this split in characters is between individuals. I know several people that without external force (work, duty) would have absolutely no idea what to do with themselves. Even their free t

Nothing would stop her from continuing to create art the human way. The most intrinsically motivated will certainly do so. But it's only half the story. Besides the process of creating art in itself being rewarding, the other rewarding

Fully agree on everything you said. In addition, we're all kind of forced to hop on to AI whether we're a programmer or artist just to buy ourselves a little more time, delaying the inevitable. Actually, perhaps accelerating the i

"So unlike say artists there is really no issue of them being outcompeted by a derivative of their own material." Well, except for the tiny detail that the entire point of visiting or posting on Reddit becomes rather pointless.

We drastically need copyright reform for text, imagery, video. It was never designed for this AI era. If you take a concept like "fair use". Let's say I embed your photo and express an opinion about it. That's what fair

That's not really the point, the issue is between AI companies and Reddit, specifically regarding API access.

Very common on Twitter too. You'll have an account like "Science is amazing" or something similar which seems uplifting and does show relevant/great content. Given the positive name and quality content, they get popular

Yesterday Stackoverflow, today Reddit. A clear pattern emerges where open web content/communities face existential issues if the current AI paradigm continues. It's a daylight robbery. The sum of 18 years of Reddit is an enormous

The depressing part is that their design department (or possibly an agency they hire) make these really fancy UI vision videos. But then you use actual Windows and its UI trash.

Same for "My Documents". If they are mine, then why are 7 trillion programs and processes dumping their random garbage in it? Or how about Modern office programs, where saving something to disk instead of the cloud is now many cli

Old Microsoft is back, unashamed to aggressively push their own services from a still monopolistic platform. What this tells us is that tech regulation is a joke, fallen asleep. They were fined for this exact practice a long time ago. To si

You're absolutely right about blue collar needing a revival, there's an enormous amount of work to do there, and it's a type of work near impossible to replace with AI. Further, I'd say that we need to better appreciate

I assume the CEO is intentionally vague. He knows what's up. There's very few people whom enjoy interacting with SO, most just want to get to the answer. If AI code assistance has that answer, it's game over. Not even leechin

The only risk I see is their progressive views at times being a little too progressive, leading to "safetyism" and a too restrictive policy on what can go in the store and what cannot, or this somehow affecting which app get prime

I don't understand. This looks to me like a Medium page that embeds a Mastodon post, hence preview fetching lands on the Mastodon's instance? That's what the post describes. However, confusingly, the very first screenshot ind

Mozilla should step into this space. Launch an alternative app store, cost-neutral or minor profit only, all apps privacy checked. Better than the writing of preachy blogs that do nothing. The problem with current Mozilla is that they have

In particular edge cases this might become a DDOS vector. Say you have a large following on Mastodon, which means lots of people follow you from lots of other instances. In that case, when you boost ("retweet") content from a smal
