Reactivity is not a virtue. If your existing laws are already not being followed, then adding more is a folly that merely possesses the illusion of effectiveness.

Let's be fair: almost everything is linked to Peter Thiel's dark magic company these days. The UK's NHS is already quite close with Palantir: https://www.palantir.com/uk/

Claude has no issue with this for me, just as the other commenters say.

Funnily enough that's given as an example of a prohibited type of app in their review guidelines.

I think the base UI of Discord is fine, but having used it for almost a decade at this point, the UI has gotten worse. Besides the ads you've mentioned, they've added a lot more clutter (random icons, rarely used features, hidde

I have observed this pattern before. Usually minority groups are mentioned in an attempt to shift a debate toward values (which basically means no meaningful debate if you disagree) and away from technical considerations (which arguably des

To be fair, many of them are already fleeing Discord over the ID surveillance, so it makes sense that they would be pickier this time.

NFTs lost because they didn't do anything useful for their proponents, not because people were critical of them. They would've fizzled out even without detractors for that reason. On the other hand, normal cryptocurrencies conti

The response mentioning minorities is obviously bad faith. Even if true, it's not really relevant, and most likely serves as a way to tie LLM use to slavery, genocide, or oppression without requiring rational explanation.

I think the parent comment is referring to the fact that even focusing on whether ~100 lines of code across 3 commits should/should not be generated by an LLM is meaningless bikeshedding which has no place in a serious project.

Not once in history has new technology lost to its detractors, even if half its proponents were knuckleheads.

I don't actually care what the dev does. That's their prerogative, and it doesn't affect whether or not I'll use the software (I will if it's useful). I think that's the difference between here and a "mob&

In general, caving to online mobs is a bad long-term strategy (assuming the mob is not the majority of your actual target audience[0]). The mob does not care about your project, product, or service, and it will not reward you for your compl

I have been saying this for a few years at this point. Transparency can only exist when there is civility, and those without civility deserve no transparency[0]. [0] As a corollary, those with civility do deserve transparency. It's a t

It seems the thread was brigaded by militant anti-AI people upset over a few trivial changes made using an LLM. I encourage people here to go read the 3(!) commits reverted. It's all minor housekeeping and trivial bugfixes—nothing dese

Irony is AI scrapers will scrape anyway, even if the articles won't be archived. They're inconveniencing people for no reason.

(2019) The biggest weakness of secure boot was always third-party vendors shipping "insecure" bootloaders. It's a lot of work to verify signatures for every bit of data that gets loaded, especially on the PC platform.

To be fair, most medication in the US is overpriced due to patents and what not. The "cost" is hardly the real, legitimate cost and generally inflated 1000%+ compared to other countries.
