Hmm, I have to confess I need to give more thought and understand the consequences of what you're proposing. I do like the idea of selectively punishing the most responsible actors. Out of curiosity, if one were to "steelman&quot

Sorry for the delay in my response. To answer your question directly: I'm pointing out unexpected privacy pitfalls of using a smart TV's full set of features (i.e. running apps and using it ... as a monitor). Although I agree with

Boy do I have some bad news for you: Automated Content Recognition [0, 1, 2]. If your Smart TV is connected to the Internet, it can also track what you're watching or doing, even if you're using it as an external monitor [3] (in

Exactly. It's a "too big to fail" with a touch of "what are you gonna do, let me go bankrupt ?" situation.

Exactly: "everything punishable should be punished, everywhere across the decision chain, all at once". No sternly worded letter, no slap on the wrist... Consequences! I'd even "scare them incorrupt" by threatening

I can hypothesize that it may give startups the incentive to behave in reckless ways (e.g. pursue the MVP instead of the MVSP); think of the modern distortion of "ask for forgiveness, not permission" [0]: > So “Ask forgiveness,

Congrats on the launch. Seems quite interesting! My only queation/feedback is: What policies do you have in place to prevent bad outsourcing or exploitative behavior like what has been done by big-tech companies that turn a blind eye

Completely agree. Having worked previously for ... (humans?) ... I can authoritatively theorize it would be fixed in a jiffy if it weren't making them bucketloads of money. To make my case: just ponder the opposite: "What would a

Oh, for sure. I also think that we're tinkerers or hackers... and we lean on tech to scratch an itch or solve a problem. Mostly because we thought it would be easy ;-)

In my hometown, sometimes birds (I think they may have been crows) swoop across real close to cars along a straight stretch of highway. I've had to slow down sometimes thinking I might hit one. I like to imagine they go back to their

I respectfully disagree... They already exercise some censorship that is mostly biased towards the interests of the company (e.g. instances of war crimes being censored on Meta platforms). Holding them accountable would make them beholden t
