This to me is the most important point in the whole text: "We already have a system for this: fiduciaries. There are areas in society where trustworthiness is of paramount importance, even more than usual. Doctors, lawyers, accountants

That’s one interpretation. Another is that people typically support foundations not simply because they “do good,” but because they advance a specific cause the donor personally values. For example, if I donated to a foundation focused on d

I keep thinking about the TechnoCore from Dan Simmons' Hyperion, where the AIs were serving humans but secretly that was a parasitic relation, where they've been secretly using human brains as distributed processing nodes, essenti

The current heinous thing they do is censorship. Your comment would be relevant if the OP had to find an example of censorship from 35 years ago, but all he had to do today was to ask the model a question.

I often think we should movefrom peer review as "certification" to peer review as "triage", with replication determining how much trust and downstream weight a result earns over time.

I agree that we should have something that is not US owned. > Yes, and that's how it falls into complete irrelevance. I think you underestimate the influence the european politicians have on the amount of people using X and the fact

They could also just post posters in the european commision hallways, they would probably have the same amount of reach from there. So what prevents them from actually setting up friendlier instances is that people simply do not go there.

It would be much easier to leave the toxic dump that is X, if the other platforms were not almost as toxic just in the opposite direction. The best option would be to have a separate platform for the european heads of state to communicate w

Strongly agree with this. It may sound good in theory, but in practice, especially with real people, it can come across as overbearing, stifling, and exhausting for others. This isn’t meant as a dig at the OP. it’s just an observation based

I remember hearing the "imagine if Stasi/Gestapo had the data Facebook and Twitter have on us" argument for years. Turns out they were right to be worried.

My grandfather was a surgeon, an excellent one. When he was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer, he went to every dubious healer my grandmother could find. He did it for her, and likely for himself as well. He was never right wing.

I think this mixes up the 'how' with the 'why.' FOSS isn't the end in itself, I think that for most people it's just the tool that lets us work together, share what we've built, and get something back from

You are not wrong to feel this, because you cannot control what you feel. But it might be worth investigating why you feel this, and why were you writing open source in the first place.

It's good to make people aware of that. At the same time, people who come off insulin get blood sugar problems fairly quickly too. I think, barred some horrible, long term side-effects, we need to accept that people will be staying on

Except, as is often the case, it’s not that AI itself is easy to detect, but that bad uses of AI are. You are almost certainly reading far more AI generated text than you realise it just doesn’t register as such.

There are two possibilities. Either we live in a rules-based international order, in which case China would be punished for invading Taiwan. Or we live in a world where power decides outcomes, in which case China would still be punished, th

What’s really interesting to me is how this coincides with a larger push to break up more and more ties that kept our society going for the last 30–50 years. Look at what’s happening to globalization and the push to near-shore. Look at the

This is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If the state arrests someone for a joke, and that person, feeling persecuted, joins an anti-establishment or far-right group, the state cannot then say, "See? We were right to arrest him because he&#

Saying they were "just in an exclusion zone" is kind of a self-justifying excuse. It’s the same logic you see in authoritarian countries, like when Russian police arrest people for holding blank signs because they’re technically s

The flaw in your argument is that it assumes a clear and workable distinction between "a joke" and "obvious hate speech." Yet one of the strongest objections to the very concept of "hate speech" is precisely th

That's amazing, and also totally misses the point, but I guess it let's you keep feeling smug, so that's a plus. If you’re aiming for the full "ackchyually guy" meme, mission accomplished. Meanwhile you’re not touch
