You might have missed the whole point if that's what you found funny. I'm not arguing about not telling someone to shut up in general; my argument is against telling people to shut up, and not complain, when they have grievances a

Still very few for deserving a tax break based on potential employment opportunities. A DC simply doesn't help the local economy, it's very often a net-negative: it's very resource-intensive while not generating much in terms

Definitely not because of long-term employment, even very large DCs only employ about a hundred staff on-site.

I specifically said "I gladly pay it", it's not the threat of imprisonment which compels me to pay my taxes. Instead it's all the benefits I see from my taxes around me: education, transportation, public amenities, healt

I discovered the pendulum of social movements after reading Bertrand Russell's "The Ancestry of Fascism" at a relative young age (~16 years old), it only really made sense after my 30s though. It required me watching, experie

The fine is not a one-and-done like fines are levied against corporations in the USA, most fines against corporations in the EU can be levied many times if the infringing behaviour is not corrected.

So no country can ever take action and enforce their local laws because the USA can retaliate? Why have local laws in that case? Better we all just adopt American laws to not have to fear the Americans getting pissy when they diverge...

It's always been the strategy for VC-funded companies: undercut pricing for as long as possible to achieve market dominance, slowly turn the price knob up to become profitable. Always funny to read the tirades against subsidies here on

It doesn't change that fact, unfortunately it's a complex societal issue which presents quite heavily in your society, it requires decades of constant improvement to change anything. I don't think American society has the app

If we want to keep tracing the lineage of AI we'll have to go all the way back to Markov chains from the 70s. You said LLMs were designed for images which is absolutely incorrect.

What? LLMs were designed for text, it's in their name "large language model". Only with specialised encoders like vision transformers they were able to process images as well but you're absolutely wrong about the origi
