Yes, you said it better than me. Fundamentally if you know a user's choices, you should be able to reproduce what that user sees.

Technically sorting by timestamp is an "algorithm" too, so I was just speaking informally rather than drafting the exact language of a piece of legislation. I would define the categories as something like algorithms determined by

This is a perfect summary of that "toxic and deadly" culture. Why are police treated as a dumb tool that will always respond to violence with more violence? Why is the onus on the criminals to deescalate the situation? Why does

Here is what was said that prompted my initial reply: >When a model is censored for "AI safety", what they really mean is brand safety. The equivalent analogy wouldn't be Fords and BMWs driving off a cliff, they effectivel

I made a substantive point and you immediately dismissed it like this. If we're judging people's "technique" here, your reply to me is much more questionable than my reply to you.

The way some of you'll talk suggests that you don't think someone could genuinely believe in AI safety features. These AIs have enabled and encouraged multiple suicides at this point including some children. It's crazy that

I wasn't denying their existence. I was comparing the process of opening your device, taking out the batteries, finding their proprietary charger or hooking each individual battery up to a USB cable depending on the specific variety o

It's interesting to see them putting more attention on playing traditional games with this. I have long thought that the most broadly viable use for VR headsets in gaming is giving users a big screen to play their regular games. There

You're right that it's "not too-too hard" to get them, but it's also "not too-too easy" to actually use them in comparison just plugging a USB-C cable into the device. The process you will have to go thro

>people like you post and talk about it but take no real action. Jumping to this type of insult based purely on your own fabricated narrative about me does nothing but further justify my last comment calling out your worldview.

There is a reason I started my first comment the way I did. For Trump's entire time in politics, there have been people trying to communicate the type of person he is and the plans he has for the US and there have been people like you

I don't think this line of thinking has any merit. Genocides have happened before and yet modern genocides still make me sad for humanity and I wish we did a better job preventing them.

I can't deny that and maybe would even agree with that as an abstract theory, but I just can't stomach the amount of misery and death that would come along with this to ever use a word like "hope" to describe that outcom

At some point the opponents of authoritarianism have to draw a line in the sand. If the American government is going to fall, this is as good of a line as any. Because simply conceding here would just empower the aspiring authoritarian to

I'd agree, but I would also point out that a state monopoly is a much more extreme policy than a few state run stores. And considering the discussion was about where these policies sit on the ideological spectrum, an example of a more

Fair correction, I apparently merged the laws about beer and liquor/wine in my mind. Beer in quantities larger than 12 packs comes from distributors which are regulated more than bottle shops but aren't state run, while it's

Last I checked, if you wanted to buy more than a 12 pack of beer in the state of Pennsylvania, it had to be from a state run store. Is Pennsylvania socialist?
