Yes but that’s my point. Taken as a whole it’s been a net negative.

I was that kid. Going to a university in a city helped a lot with that. Long conversations about comic books with friends, going to the nearby comics store on new release day with lots of other nerds, etc. I’m no longer convinced adding th

What’s actionable about “it’s everyone’s fault”?

Yes, more like this please, universe!

True but not very constructive.

That is a very good thing. Kids desperately need third spaces too.

I would. And I’m the nerd minority who “couldn’t wait to get out of this place.” Now, I would still go to a big city where I could find people with similar interests. But the cost to society of all the Internet has wrought has been far too

It’s been a disaster. It sounds good in principle. And I was very excited when discovering the Internet (Usenet) and a place to discuss all my geeky interests with many similar minded people. However, now that the Internet has so overpower

I am a native English speaker and I know what the word “speech” means.

by jimbokun 3mo ago
This is an incoherent mess of labels and epithets. I can’t detect any real argument.

Weights are not code.

So White Flight was a good thing?

by jimbokun 3mo ago
Just like those militias are going to defeat the US Armed Forces!

So to you “safety” means “the models that cause the most harm.”
140.
by jimbokun 3mo ago
Yes this should be immediately replaced by a federal agency, like we do for other kinds of potentially harmful products.
141.
by jimbokun 3mo ago
Yes life was better and food and drugs were safer before the FDA.

LLM weights are not protected speech.
143.
by jimbokun 3mo ago
It’s also how the FDA works. Ban new products until they have been proven safe. I think that also applies to AI products. It’s a hell if a lot better for the government to test and approve all models than having the industry “police itsel

I will never understand the fight against “gentrification”. You want property values in your neighborhood to go DOWN?

But as much as those people despise cyclists, bike lanes continue to proliferate in urban areas. Just because there is not unanimous support for good policies, doesn’t mean they can’t be implemented. Also a big win for local policy making,

Have you read some of the DSA’s policies?

by jimbokun 3mo ago
In the “I don’t see how this connects with the teachings of Jesus” sense I agree. In the self labeling as “Christian”, sense not so much.

Well you absolutely can but the next opportunity isn’t until 2028.

I like to use my iPhone to read text articles. It's amazing to me how bad it's become at this task. I get various emails with curated links to various stories, and I will click a link to go read that story. First, it often takes

I managed to give up Reddit (still have other attention consuming vices) and temporarily checked in to see the reactions to Arsenal finally winning the Premier League...and was repulsed by just how MEAN that site is. Discussing something a
