Maybe he redeemed himself in eyes of trump after he also asked to assassinate someone.

The insane thing is that initially the way he pressed was that he wasn’t standing up to the anthem and after talking to a vet they came with a compromise to kneel instead.
And that still upset the orange Mussolini.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 1 week ago:
I noticed a bad trend with my colleagues who use copilot, chatgpt etc. They not only use it to write code, but also trust it with generally poor design decisions.
Another thing is that those people also hate working on existing code, claiming it is communicated and offering to write their (which also ends up complicated) version of it. I suspect it’s because copilot doesn’t help as much when code is more mature.

- Comment on First Trump DOJ Assembled “Tiger Team” To Rewrite Key Law Protecting Online Speech. 3 weeks ago:
Section 230 allowed companies like Facebook, Twitter, Google have mass media that’s also personalized to each recipient. You can influence anyone’s views by serving content that pushes their buttons.
They just use section 230 to be able to push any content, and section 230 protects them from consequences.
Why should they be protected this way? TV, radio, newspapers are liable for posting false information.
You think that social media gives you a platform, but since they decide what others see, this is just an illusion. Your content won’t be visible unless they determines it should be promoted.
This is likely why social media companies are so deep into generative AI. With it they no longer need people to generate specific content.

Catholics Church is actually pro science, it is those other Christian sects that force us choose between creationism or evolution.
- Comment on Why was there a pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying ad on X? 3 weeks ago:
It’s also important to distinguish freedom of speech (protected by the first amendment) from free speech (a made up concept meant to bastardize on the former and to allow social media post whatever they want anonymously, like this ad).
- Comment on First Trump DOJ Assembled “Tiger Team” To Rewrite Key Law Protecting Online Speech. 3 weeks ago:
That’s why I said removed or changed. It should be changed in a way that wouldn’t apply to big sites, but still could somehow buy used by hobbyists as it was intended to.
Though I’m quite sure his team will do the exact opposite.
- Comment on First Trump DOJ Assembled “Tiger Team” To Rewrite Key Law Protecting Online Speech. 3 weeks ago:
It’s the feed that I think Facebook started, but everyone uses. You think you are posting things and your friends see them, but in reality Facebook (or whomever it is) really controls who sees it (if anyone).
You just have illusion that you have a platform when you don’t.
I think this is also the reason why social media companies are all deep into generative AI. With it they no longer need to even have humans produce content they want to show to others.
- Comment on First Trump DOJ Assembled “Tiger Team” To Rewrite Key Law Protecting Online Speech. 3 weeks ago:
That section should be repealed or rewritten. It was originally meant so hobbyists running forms wouldn’t be responsible for content posted by the users.
Currently companies like Twitter, Meta, Google etc can control what is shown to users and hide behind this protection.
trump’s admin change will likely make it worse though.

There’s a lot more, but they don’t stand out. Look at cars that don’t have a radiator and if course a tailpipe.
- Comment on OpenAI: Our models are more persuasive than 82% of Reddit users 4 weeks ago:
It’s no surprise that social media companies are working on AI their platforms are no longer social, they are just tools to control public opinion.
Other governments and oligarchs will pay any money to have that kind of power.

- Comment on UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrives in Kyiv to sign "100-year Partnership" treaty 1 month ago:
It’s easy to say now, I mean even Clinton said he regretted it.
Though let’s not lie to ourselves, back in 90s if Ukraine would say no, Russia (with UN’s blessing would probably enter to “get them back”).
Frankly if Ukraine would have joined NATO in 2009 as Biden suggested, these wars probably wouldn’t happen, and the memorandum would still be considered as a good idea.
- Comment on UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrives in Kyiv to sign "100-year Partnership" treaty 1 month ago:
There are better examples, for example this one: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoney_War
Budapest memorandum was violated by Russia, the other signatories still obeyed by it and also provided support.
Also this move is good, the more NATO countries sign such agreements, the easier would be to gain NATO membership.

I use clean my feeds grease monkey script to hide it and only show my friends and groups I subscribed to and it makes it so easy to see how much of things that it shows is just their stuff and how dead the Facebook really is.
- Comment on Facebook and Instagram to Unleash AI-Generated ‘Users’ No One Asked For 2 months ago:
People are still think social media is social. They think that when they post something, all their friends will see it.
In reality what each person sees is determined by the feed algorithm. They can use all the things they know about you and present you content that will press your buttons and change your opinion about topics.
The biggest issue though is to have a proper content. This is where generative AI comes in and this is why owners of social media are so much invested in it.
They basically have platform like the old MSM, except all content is specifically tuned to every person.
