There needs to be far more criticism of the increasingly closed development of these models in what is essentially becoming an AI arms race. Like Sam Altman and his team at OpenAI (more like ClosedAI) who were more aware of this than anybod

Censorship, mandatory KYC and ID verification, mass surveillance, ridiculous amounts of ads, everything is a subscription service and my god damn oven needs a login and ethernet connection…

Nvidia tells near nothing to AIBs (even pricing!) until public release.

The crazy thing is that mass incarceration is relatively new in the US. Are Prisons Obsolete by Angela Davis was a real eye-opener for me.

Corporate interests control policy through money. How is that not directly related to capitalism?

There’s nothing contradictory with compulsory psychiatry, providing housing, and ending the war on drugs. The US’ hardcore line on drugs has clearly been an abject failure and its time to reverse the damage we’ve done before its too late.

Nothing dystopian at all about unmarked vans picking protestors off the streets.

It's not a conspiracy theory, you just aren't reading the news. The Senate Intelligence Committee has stated that they weren't aware of the CIA's bulk data collection program until the public was. Did Congress authorize

The only president of the last 80 years that has called for CIA oversight was JFK, who… As for Congress, the idea that they know any more about the CIA’s activities than the average citizen is laughable.

75 years of history disagree with you. Unless you believe the public told the CIA to arm the Mujahideen, overthrow Allende, invade Panama, recruit Nazis, traffic drugs - should I go on?

wavtones.com has what I believe to be the highest quality stochastic noise generator but there is a $7 paywall to access colors besides pink and white.

Except for housing, the governments failure to intervene in these distorted markets is the problem - not the government itself distorting the markets. Even for housing, there are plenty of high level policies that could be implemented regar

Without addressing anything else you said, calling the invasion of Panama and subsequent dictatorship “justified” is genuinely one of the dumbest things I have ever read on this site.

As an actual SF resident, this is categorically wrong. The SFPD, pre and post Chesa has been utterly useless, which is supported by historical crime and arrest statistics. In fact, when Chesa was still DA he had to assemble his own team to

I’m not a tax avoidance advocate but you really reported your few hundred in mining profits? In similar situations I’d wage 99% of miners don’t report and have never had problems.

Break up their monopolies like the US did to Standard Oil. The fact that 80% of the countries GDP is chaebols is even more of a reason to do so.

Its interesting how South Korean regulators have been completely useless at reigning in the country’s massive mafia-like chaebols but instead seems to be focusing entirely on minor tech sectors.

Loab looks remarkably similar to Billy the Puppet from Saw, which could explain its relation to gore and violence.

I’ve been on the internet long enough to know what harassment is, and I went on Kiwi Farms enough to know the site culture. There will always be people laughing at other people on the internet and I would prefer it stays that way.

That was unequivocally not a publicly known reason. There were thousands upon thousands of “lolcows” documented in kiwifarms and the sites culture strongly emphasized not “disturbing the grazing lolcows” or “taking things IRL.” That much wa

Australia has been blatantly violating the privacy of its citizens increasingly over the last 2 decades. Its surveillance legislation is unrivaled in developed countries except for perhaps the UK.

That sucks. I frequently travel to Europe and in my experience that Tier is way better than Lime, Dott, and Spin. Unlike other scooter companies, Tier always has a wireless phone charger integrated into the scooter, bulk minute cost is less
