- Comment on Amy Klobuchar learned that a video clip of her was going viral. So she clicked on it and saw her face and her voice saying vulgar things she had never said. It was AI. 1 week ago:
Klobuchar will just use this as another rallying cry to tear down Section 230 and make the internet even worse. You can read it yourself, but earlier this year she tried to use a 19 year old ODing on fentanyl he bought off Snapchat as a reason to “… get rid of or reform section 230 …”
Not sure how that’s going to stop people from ODing on adulterated narcotics, but maybe supporting harm reduction and mental health services would be a better use of my tax payer money.

Take this with a grain of salt as I’m not a dev, but do work on CMS reporting for a health information tech company. Depending on how the database is designed an SSN could appear in multiple tables.
In my experience reduplication happens as part of generating a report so that all relevant data related to a key and scope of the report can be gathered from the various tables.
- Comment on Larry Ellison wants to put all America's data, including DNA, in one big Oracle system for AI to study 6 months ago:
Ellison is a piece of shit. This is the same creep who said that putting AI surveillance everywhere will ensure that everyone will “behave.” That probably doesn’t apply to him on his private Hawaiian island, huh? He will not be missed, none of these soulless monsters will be.
- Comment on Tech's Dumbest Mistake: Why Firing Programmers for AI Will Destroy Everything 6 months ago:
I just hope people won’t go back to these abusive jobs. The oligarchy that runs the US has shown it is more than happy to lay people off to cool wages and the Fed is more than happy to blame workers getting paid a reasonable amount as the cause of inflation.
