I guess, maybe I misinterpreted what “tipped by algorithmic interference” means. Regardless, I just don’t think the world’s going to end if somebody’s uncle in Florida reads dozens of false headlines. A small number of people consume a lot

I dunno, the most parsimonious explanation for Clinton’s loss is low black voter turnout, which is more a simple failure of her campaign than a nefarious new technology propelling us to extinction.

I think you’re missing the nuance here. If I can protect myself using a weapon, I don’t need to vote for mass surveillance to protect me. The ability to engage in shootouts with the police isn’t what prevents the formation of a police state

When it comes to defining crimes I don’t think the US government shares your views on the cuteness of USC Title 18.

Yeah kinda, they basically did a rebrand recently.

Haven’t FTX’s bankruptcy lawyers already billed $200m? That’s money that isn’t going to FTX’s creditors. Sure, people have scammed larger sums, but I wouldn’t conclude the traditional financial system is thoughtfully designed with checks an

I don’t think these NFTs give ownership rights either. Reading the SEC order, it sounds like the reasonable expectation of a profit was the issue.

There’s absolutely no way a multi-trillion stimulus bill was passing in 2008–2010. I don’t think it’s fair to place blame on one party or the other.
