Restitution is the legal basis, let's not act like the rich don't force the poor to pay for their civil violations. What it sounds like is the rich don't like it when the law is applied fairly to them too.

Sure it does, you're making a lot of assumptions here. The most egregious one is believing that that I think the legal system means anything to actual justice and not a system that is mostly used to protect the interests of the elite a

Yeah, the solution is to do things in person and realize that the internet should be treated as an additive, not a replacement, to in-person interactions.

I don't think these people realize how much damage they are doing to their reputations.

Sure and what you comment doesn't change that people have opinions about the validity of such cases. Amazon cares more about their bottom line than the health of their workers, we should be highly skeptical of anything they want to do

Do you really have a hard time imaging that someone would call out an obvious AI slop label as weird and poor quality? Like it's quite clear people do not like LLM generated content and feel betrayed when they didn't consent into

Nah, once you have the bits on your device you should be free to do with them whatever you want. Amazon doesn't get to dictate how you consume what they give out for free.

This looks like a tremendous amount of fun. I'll have to buy AOE2 now.

Seems like a fine trade if you want to make the big bucks in American tech. No risk, no reward.

Can you explain why this is your personal hell? I don't see it as any different than sports like tennis or games like chess. Some things can have extremely long lifespans with dedicate player bases, what's the problem that video g

Yeah. Neobrutalism is mostly about the drop shadows + bright color palette. You don't really need a component library for what should be some basic CSS rules.

It's more fun to watch, which is what matters to the small dedicated fan base.

I'll have to look into AoE2, never knew it was that in-depth. I only played it as a child, also played BW as a child and that stuck as I still play it periodically since remastered came out. Since you seem to be tapped into the AOE2 sc

I guess but I don't see how it wouldn't be allowed. Evangelicals have quite a stranglehold on US politics and have been influencing the republican party for like 40 years now. Trump Not being allowed to thread the connections seem

Why? I was raised as an evangelical christian. End of time sermons are quite common, along with telling followers that they are warriors of christ. This doesn't seem any different than what these MBA leaders are saying "AI will de

Let's not kid ourselves that it would be a good RTS. Starcraft 2 + expansions is a very poor game compared to brood war. If you haven't watch the ASL it's definitely worth a gander: https://www.youtube.com/wat

Yeah, this is how fascists talk and with seeing how this technology has done nothing to improve society (in fact all it seems to be doing is immiserating workers, enabling a surveillance society, and quite useful in helping target children

I mean it's likely a nuclear war would probably be a species extinction level event at the least, humans would definitely be reduced by 99%. We don't know how bad the resulting nuclear cooling would be, but we do know how humans a

Oracle has a BBB- credit rating (one step above junk bonds), so maybe yeah.

The only time I ever used AirBnB the host cancelled on me 2 days before my trip while I was scrambling to find a replacement. Absolutely awful user experience that truly offers nothing to people in their moments of extreme need.

Yeah, there are very real effects happening now regarding labor as well but to dismiss it all and worry about science fiction that is on par with evangelical beliefs is just extremely weird.

by shimman 13d ago
Yeah but we're dealing with a known liar, killer of 100s of thousands of children, and a person with a weird breeding fetish. Why would one assume good faith when discussing any Elon Musk venture?

This goes back to not liking the idea of consent and having to establish an entire worldview to justify actions against someone's consent. It's the work of authoritarians and needs to be rightly called out.

Of course there's a meaningful analogy. The poster wants to make Tao sound unreasonable and against "progress" while ignoring the very real concerns Tao has. It's what fanatics do when they want to enforce their view on

Unlike the employees at OpenAI + Anthropic that are on the verge of extracting multigenerational levels of wealth.

I'm sorry but pressuring workers over this stuff is frankly disgusting and I reject you for your anti-worker + anti-human sentiment. What sort of human looks at a group of people and goes "it would be really nice if we made people

Your great leadership doesn't seem to care, so either your management knows better than you or maybe you should push back on the notion that you worked with "great leadership." Only poor leaders ignore their workers, which is

Let me throw a curve ball at you: do you accept the premise that most modern corporations are centrally planned economies under the rulership of monarchies, oligarchies, or general authoritarians? If so, do you think introducing democracy i

There is no professional developer in the US. There are no licensing requirements to write code. There are no repercussions against developers that write code that immiserate or kill Americans. The person slinging wordpress plugins at an ag

Nah, you're still blaming workers and not leadership. If leadership is okay with not training workers (something American corporations would do in the distant past) then it's not fair to continue to blame workers when leadership i
