Couldn't that argument be applied to just about anything? Policies that the powerful don't like can and do stay in place typically because of fait accompli - they waited too long to do anything about it and now it's too entre

NASA is still around. The layoff announcements for contractors at certain locations have been staggered as far as I know. Still - it appears to be a tremendously hurdle for her to find alternate employment with her skillset in parts engine

So your response is.... Schneier's solution is bad and violent revolution is most likely the answer? It's difficult to really parse your reply.

So - physically relocating is not an appealing prospect given she's a house and a spouse with a local job. Is it typical for companies in the satellite design/manufacturing space for parts/electrical components engineers to b

Considering her coworkers are calling the mass contractor layoffs "getting DOGEd", SpaceX is less than appealing. Similar sentiment is felt about any other organization run by people who are seen as having had a hand in kneecappin

What relevance does that have to incest-themed video games?

by rockskon 1y ago
? Claiming you need to be pro-incest to support the existance of incest themed video games is as absurd as claiming you need to be pro-murder to support much of the entire Action movie genre.

I don't quite care about if a payment network feels it's fair to them when they can dictate what speech entire nations are allowed to engage in. When it's the speech of the many vs the speech of the few, I'm going to er

The initial ban wave was against incest games. Almost certainly won't end there without significant consumer pushback against the payment processor Valve uses as well as both VISA and Mastercard.

To all the people saying "fraud" is the reason - think that through. Do you really, really think fraud and chargebacks for games covering specific fetishes on Steam have even the tiniest iota of relevance here? Steam readily o

The people in this thread incredulous at the assertion that they are not God and haven't invented machine life are exasperating. At this point I am convinced they, more often than not, financially benefit from their near religious pos

LLM scrapers have dramatically been increasing the cost of hosting various small websites. Without something being done, the data that these scrapers rely on would eventually no longer exist.

Wouldn't particular knowledge be required? I'm sure Google devs know in the abstract that Google search is used by criminals to help them in committing crimes, but that clearly is not illegal in and of itself.

I can't take arguments like this seriously. "Something else was successful so AI will be successful!!!!1!"

I did that. Even my query searched within Verbatim was ignored in favor of an autocorrected one with no means available for me to direct Google to search for my original query on my Desktop.

That's speaks more to your social and news circles more than anything. I see plenty of condemnation of the Trump administration from free speech activists for their actions against Gaza Protestors and LGBTQ book bans.

Except more often then not the info I'm looking for does exist and is available with generous use of double quotes to direct Google to do literal string searches. Except yesterday I encountered Google refusing to honor even that for

Then I expect your personal fortunes are tied up in hyping the "generative AI are just like people!" meme. Your comment is wholly detached from the reality of using LLMs. I do not expect we'll be able to meet eye-to-eye on

The primary source of frustration of Google being terrible at search these days is its penchant for ignoring search terms you use or giving you results for words that are spelled similar to what you searched for. Google has an extreme bia
