Yes, it is considered a cardinal sin to discredit authority through embarrassment. It may not be an official crime, but they will make it feel that way. This isn't unique to governments. Try discrediting any authority figure with embar

Hear hear. I know a 3 person startup that has a "lead AI researcher" who is trying to train and fine-tune models. That's not their startup's purpose though... they have an actual product. So wtf are they doing? The lead

It's not the medium (the phone) that's the problem, it's the apps. I don't have kids, so I don't know exactly kinds of parental controls are in place, but from what I've seen, there aren't nearly enough to

It doesn't end at hiring. At one place I worked, the CEO got new hires in a room and "spontaneously" asked them to tell an embarrassing story about themselves one by one, to break the ice. People were very uncomfortable but d

Is showing pictures of civilian casualties who have died gruesome deaths (think: genocide), with intent to distress citizens into changing their political support, arrest worthy, or is it speech that should be protected?

>Hawkes admitted at an earlier hearing that he sent a photograph or film of genitals with intent to cause alarm, distress or humiliation. Does this extend to sending any image with intent to cause alarm, distress, or humiliation? Or does

In my opinion, using these tools daily and extensively, AI and AI copilots are an extreme force multiplier for in writing boilerplate code, debugging simple (but non-obvious) mistakes in existing code, and context immersion ("How do I

If people wanted to wear a phone screen taped over their eyes out in public, the technical limitations wouldn't barely make a dent in that desire. But the vast majority of people want to have real in-person human interactions when they

It's heartening to see people punished for operating in bad faith. Real scumbag behavior seems to thrive when what they do is "technically legal" but super corrosive to the social fabric. I know it's a fine line, which i

I recommend that everyone come up with a predetermined secret question that has both a real answer and a duress answer. Decide this question/answers with your loved ones in advance. If you're ever in a situation like this, you can
