This is literally a Starbucks ad for boomers.
- Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press? 3 days ago:

- Comment on Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism? 3 days ago:
If your friends always play Monopoly and you get dragged into it, do you refuse to have fun on principle? Or do you choose to have a blast with your friends, occasionally chuckle at the game’s shortcomings, and indulge in exploiting some of its weaknesses to ensure you come out on top? (That last one is optional and depends on you getting assigned to play the banker)
- Comment on The Ensh*ttification of Everything with Cory Doctorow [1:49:08] 2 weeks ago:
Define “good.” I imagine it’s informative but depressing. Does he find space for optimism? For solutions?

Take note, world leaders, of how easy it is to hit home runs right now.
- Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? 4 weeks ago:
It’s normal to come across words you don’t know how to pronounce in your native language. When you do, you either ask someone for the pronunciation or stumble along until someone corrects you. Names are no different and you shouldn’t be made to feel ashamed by any earnest attempt to pronounce them. Forget about the accent and focus on the specific sounds involved in the name. If you cannot form sounds that are foreign to you, the owner of the name will likely help you pronounce it in the language you’re comfortable with. They are probably used to doing this.
- Comment on Palingenetic Ultranationalism is a concise definition of fascism coined by political theorist Roger Griffin 4 weeks ago:
Tinfoil hat time: that hand glitch video of Trump was a test, by Vance, because he knows how uncharismatic he is. These people bought into AI as their secret weapon and it’s not ready for their grand design.

- Comment on Stop Talking to Technology Executives Like They Have Anything to Say 5 weeks ago:
It’s not even an unwillingness to admit ignorance: it’s the lack of awareness that there’s already a conversation.
This is the take-home point. They aren’t unaware there’s already a conversation. Their hubris compels them to believe they can answer these questions better than whatever the liberal establishment has come up with.

“Egghead neuroscientist grandma” feels like it would disarm me.
- Comment on Is Miss England's AI round dangerous or progressive? 1 month ago:
The models get 0% of the proceeds for one year and then 10% after that. After interviews and photos of the models, they get around to interviewing the CEOs of the companies doing this, and there’s an unchallenged narrative about why it’s fair and not exploitative. Shame on the BBC.

So, your approach is authoritarian. Let’s just ban everything we don’t want to happen. Problem is that doesn’t ever work. Kids will learn tech better than you and will get around every wall you try to put up. Instead, parents can build trust with their kids so the kids will come to them when they inevitably see horrible stuff. You don’t have to venture to the dark corners of the web to find horrible stuff kids shouldn’t see; it’s available on any front page.
