"kill switches" don't make any sense. Nobody would buy weapons knowing they had one, so you could only use it once before your export market tanks.

And why on Earth would you program weapons that deactivate upon receiving a signal? Obviously this would suck if our adversaries (who are all technically sophisticated) learned how to alt-ctrl-del our allies' equipment.

I lurk with an adblocker guilt free. Haven't logged in since I joined here.

If you pay attention to the reactionaries, they always steal ideas from the left. Fake news, media bias? That's Noam Chomsky. Incels stole the idea of critical examination of gender from feminists. Racists are banning books on the theory that they target people based on their race.

That's why they're called reactionaries. They cannot organize and ideology or a movement except as an opposition to the left dragging society forward. And like anyone motivated by spite and envy, they study us closely.

If you accept someone unilaterally, your sending the message that they matter more.

I mean when everyone else is jettisoning moderation, reddit is cracking down on bots and trolls? I don't hate it.

That sentence only needed the first word to be mildlyinfuriating.

You don't need IP to know what happens when mythologies are lost. Entire languages along with libraries of stories and myths go extinct all the time.

You've got the vin diagram of haters because she's popular and successful; the bigots who resent representation; and the normies who are influenced the former two.

This can be confusing. Should I stop reading the WaPo? Well, I already don't subscribe, jump the paywall, and block ads. Me using the site hurts him more than if i didn't. Same thing with the Smart Speakers. Amazon has lost (IIRC) like 12B on that venture, and so long as you don't use it to order stuff, it's costs Bozo for a person to use it.

You should seek advice from a doctor, or perhaps a community for people with allergies.

I've noticed that many flights hand out pretzels instead of nuts. Perhaps there is a way to find out which airlines and witch flights do this.

What you have to understand is that Lemmy is full of tech people who are bombarded with "AI is the future" messaging all day long. And implicit in all of that is layoffs for tech workers and enshitification for everyone else.

Seeing a reaction without context is always going to look irrational. People know that AI has it's uses and can even be pretty neat. But what it's being sold as is a gigantic lie that's going to hurt people.
