I agree with the core of your point. I’d like to assert, though, that all people exert some level of self-censorship in public on the basis of the opinions of their neighbors and peers. Having to worry about powerful organizations like governments and megacorps also always being there (instead of just sometimes, or usually) adds a new degree of reason to self-censor, for sure.

I don’t want to have to keep up with the current styles of SmartGlasses from however many makers of these things there are at any given time. I am happy to outsource this awareness to someone I can find good reason to trust to provide me the info I need. Just like I don’t make my own vaccines, because I have no idea how to get the 5G that small.

They invited the target in, and realigned the cameras accordingly.

That’s almost worth comparing, if the resources and human effort needed to maintain a golf course, plus any other positive or negative environmental impacts, are favorable to the effects of a parking lot or whatever. But I imagine that, either way, a proper public park would be way better.

“If you don’t save every dog, you aren’t a dog lover.”
This is an insane take. By that local, someone doesn’t love anything unless they are using all their time and energy on that one thing. Which is called obsession.

- Comment on Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company 3 weeks ago:
Heat dissipation was my very first thought. Musk’s whole premise is absolute horseshit with modern and even near-future tech.
It’s not a problem like “get heavy thing off ground”, where we can study principles of lift, throw fossil fuels at rocketry, etc. There is no magic bullet for “move this massive amount of heat somewhere else”; entropy has too much to say on the subject.

- Comment on AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast 4 weeks ago:
“Artificial intelligence gains sentience, decides humans are fucking up… then deletes itself because the problem is that humans are burning the world by using AI” is not the path I expected. What a twist in a movie that could be. The second twist, which is the mostly fictional part, would be where that included some AI that was actually critical to some vital but ignored chunk of infrastructure and big BIG problems result from the AI taking itself out.

Your original comment definitely said Asia.
- Comment on Denominator, go Mercator 4 weeks ago:
Technically, the outer surface of a sphere is, itself, two-dimensional. It is, however, non-Euclidean and cannot be perfectly preserved in a Euclidean two-dimensional space.
- Comment on Denominator, go Mercator 4 weeks ago:
Africa: 30.3 million km²
Asia: 44 million km²
Nowhere near the difference Mercator projection maps make it out to be, but Asia definitely is larger.

"The bubble is gonna burst sooner or later, and we really hope we can do something to convince everyone there is something useful here - whether that’s by finally making something good enough, or just finally turning non-stakeholder tech-literate people over to our side.
“Because otherwise everything we all poured into this was for nothing, and we will have to scramble like lunatics to not end up on the chopping block of history.”

The social contract of tolerance doesn’t extend to those who are intolerant. They are outside the protection of Tolerant Society’s protection, and the Tolerant are free (and, in fact, strongly encouraged) not to tolerate them, because they aren’t covered.

It is the promise of mystery, discovery, unknown functions that could end up being truly fascinating. The less clear the workings of a device at first glance (down to some minimum threshold), the more it evokes that sense of wonder and curiosity.
