   Ah. I understand now. Thank you for clarifying. And my bad too for assuming bad faith there and/or projecting onto you. I don’t want to believe it’s true that you compromise privacy by registering a vehicle under your name, particularl

   So you called my advice bad. Then ignored my questions before retreating. You stated something as thought it were fact earlier (ownership) and then didn’t back it up. How can you own something that is owned by another company? Or said anoth

   Same problem for me for sending emails, outreach, and other behaviors that signal human identity but it turns out to be an AI post. The area with grace for me is how much effort a human spent on composing the message - I wouldn't expec

   Meta recently added a filter as a requirement for posts on Facebook. if it was ai generated, you are required to check off a box for that on your posts. I've been asking for that for some time.

   So what's your argument or point here? I am arguing that a Montana registration, with registration under an LLC and not you, with insurance even where the vehicle's vin is tied to your name, as a driver of the vehicle (not owner),

    You are mistaking ownership and falsifying who owns the vehicle. Do you understand how ownership is defined, legally? How can you simultaneously own a vehicle, and the LLC too ? If the LLC owns the vehicle, you do not.

    by mannanj 2mo ago

    Sure. Insurance isn't asking for your vehicle registration though, and is not even getting your license plate. You are not being tracked by flock cameras and your license plate linked to your identity through your insurance registratio

    The LLC’s ownership and Montana registration are not inherently tax evasion. The appropriate party can pay California or New York use tax arising from the vehicle’s in-state use. Whether Montana registration may legally remain or California

    dropping here, again: - Montana vehicle registrations give you privacy - are not tax evasion, those straw mans and ad hominems are to scare you into giving away your privacy protections - you can pay use tax still (consult a professional, I

    I remember the old hacker news though having more "we built xyz" posts and less any "War, news, flee from death" type of things and even AI dystopian-themed things (regardless of AI not being out then, we had more focu

    What's the necessary thing here that people need to "learn" to prevent the hypothetical AI damage scenario you are talking about?
17. 137.▲
    by mannanj 2mo ago

    I think the underlying motivation may be straw manned or misrepresented as only that. Do you use AI? Do you build anything with it technically? I do. I don't want to know things without learning them, I want to produce things of value

    Wondering when did political discourse become so prevalent in hacker news? I have now become accustomed to it being normal, but I remember the hacker news of 10 years was not like this. Why has this become so normal? I miss the days where t

    I think making noise is cheaper than reducing it. And I think this is also a problem at the habit/behavior level for people. Most people don't want to know how to set proper boundaries with people and technology and articulate wha

    I'm actually not referring to any treatments at all. There's no evidence to suggest that anything I said exists, or works, and it causes vaccine hesitancy so I think that I may be killing people and taking lives by even talking ab

    Well yes it exists, however it's too high friction IMO for me to use - and I'm already a software guy. And I mean the data at the application level too - it wouldn't be practical for me to have to keep removing apps and data

    If you can tolerate an older phone by 2 or 3 generations, a cost-benefit analysis reveals its cheaper still to go used and buy that class on a Facebook marketplace like platform and then repeat that (selling or even keeping your old phone)

    I wonder: Could your data be more secure if you didn't give its custody to a company like Google? i.e. is there actually a sound basis that an alternative like taking control of your data and securing it yourself, would be more secure

    There's non-vaccine treatments and holistic therapies that work great for HIV too. Though if you talk about this you get labeled woo or an enemy to science. If people could make more money off those alternatives though I think it would

    Site is hard to use and navigate and make sense of, because of all the ai slop. If the creators spent more effort tuning the language and UI it would be more usable. Right now, not usable for me.
