I had a flippant answer which was “who ever wanted to write for a machine in the past thousands of years” But maybe that is the future. Every country starts erecting their own towers of babel that we talk at, and it constantly compresses ou

Those who defend freedom should do so by being effective at it. The internet was a magical thing when it was introduced to society at large. However this is NOT the same era. If we are fighting for privacy and freedom, then why the heck is

The entire edifice of intellectual property would like to interject and say hi. Patents, copyrights, trade marks exist because rewarding people for their insights and inventions matters.

Conversations on age verification tend to split into 2 streams. Conversations where the root submission talks about failures at social media firms and the evidence of harms, or evidence from trials. Conversations on the attacks against free

I’m not sure if this is true. I really want the hiring story to be true, but the responses I am getting from people on the ground vs industry generated reports isn’t meeting up. The only report that I know of that is available is the ICRIER

I remember the piracy era, and it used to be a joke whether anyone could actually stop it. Eventually MS dealt with piracy by going after firms, and finally by offering something cheap enough. Between the legal aspects, and the fact that it

Examples like this come up as sub comments very often, but they don’t address the point. Most people will not go beyond $20, forget a 18k.

A parallel between attitudes about new technologies, does not work when the parallel between the two technologies itself is broken. I too was on slashdot, back in the early days of 5 digit/6 digit IDs. I’ve since worked in trust and sa

Sure you can argue the nuances, however this is missing the forest for the trees. Children don’t grow up in a vacuum. They see how their peers operate, what they talk about, what they are playing with. Not being able to do that marks you as

They definitely served that function. The sucky rule about history seems to be - “is this better than what was there before.” Equity markets can definitely be made more competitive, and being ungodly rich needs to be more expensive than it

Eh. Stock markets serve(d) a function as vehicles to invest in risky ventures. In other words, a way to channel investment. In the average case scenario, removing the stock market results in rich people being the ones who can afford to fund

I believe the added point was that new tools identify a group of bugs, and then there aren’t more bugs to find. At which point it becomes another tool you use and don’t think about. Also, from what I recall, Anthropic and OpenAI subsidize t

I don’t think the author is arguing for compromise though? I think the author would love to see more enlightened policy, but he doesn’t believe it’s going to happen. Hence the closer: “ Please make my predictions come out wrong.“ Also, thes

It likely would! It is also probably the better solution all in all. However society doesn’t have the stomach for that (yet). Also, as the article correctly identified, society is gearing up to deal with other types of crime online.

The Steerability point is one I would want to see more on. This is an issue for tasks like content moderation and labelling. Judgements like this are subjective, highly dependent on context and generally messy. Theoretically, you supply a p
