- Comment on The justices of the supreme court ruled that Trump was immune and effectively above the law while being president. What is now stopping Biden from bringing a gun to the next debate? 12 hours ago:
No, but the court says you can’t question the president’s motive when they say it was an official act.

I must’ve missed that announcement at the last antifa meetup.
- Comment on Supreme Court weakens federal regulators with Chevron overturning, threatening net neutrality, right to repair, big tech regulation, and more 2 days ago:
They side with the laws enacted by the people, not the people. And all federal judges are appointed.
This doesn’t seem to be working as intended. We have “originalists” who turn that concept on it’s head and are explicitly a political project.

It’s a great narrative that happens to justify a power grab by the judicial branch; probably the least democratic of the three branches.
- Comment on So is Israel just going to finish Palestine off? 1 week ago:
“Autonomous region” is a technical label, but it does not negate the fact they don’t control their borders or who ultimately says their children are actual people.

I mean if you born in Gaza your birth needs to be registered with Israel. Otherwise you will lack the necessary documents to get through the checkpoints.

Don’t interrupt someone doing what you said couldn’t be done.

The disclaimer just means you’re innovating.
- Comment on Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined 1 week ago:

Speaking of books, have you ever read the Earthsea series? The way you talk about things reminds me of how in Earthsea things have a true name by which you can call and have them send towards your will. The trick is that some people have more then one true name and that, I think, is metaphor for how we can escape being manipulated when someone (or AI) learns our nature.
- Comment on Generative AI could soon decimate the call center industry, says CEO 2 months ago:
Is there a phrase to describe the when a programmer thinks what is needed is something “easy” when the problem requires something “simple” instead?

But we’re supposed to be training AI to be smarter, not dumber.
- Comment on Generative AI could soon decimate the call center industry, says CEO 2 months ago:
I mean that’s generally how it is now. If a rep lied to me then you better believe I’m talking to the manager and going to extract some concession. The difference is you can hold a rep accountable, dunno how you do that with AI
