I may be the only person alive to find that scene top cringe writing. It’s such a “shower retort” moment and then everybody clapped.

So basically, morality is very tricky, so it kind of depends on the situation, so in general try to behave in accordance with X and avoid Y, but there will always be grey areas which must be judged on a case by case basis.
Kind of like how our laws work.

He isn’t at the head of it. He’s the figurehead, at best. But dark fucking times are upon us.

Capitalism encourages it because it dictates profit over everything, it is a completely amoral system only weakly held in check by laws and regulations.

With a big enough market there will always be buyers. There’s like a hundred million of these psychos in the USA, how many shirts and caps was this, a couple dozen? Yeah they’ll sell. Just look at that bath water girl or she sold her farts or whatever the fuck it was

Ok this is just fucked up. What the fuck man.

Yes, your child will not be bullied and everyone will think extra highly of them. It also reflects positively on you as a parent and highlights to everyone how your particular kid is more special than others.

I’ve been saying this for yeeears. People shouldn’t be near as afraid of AI as they should be of the people in charge of it.

How out of the loop are you people? That has been a thing for a while, we’ve got more than a handful high profile AI religions and cults out there already…
- Comment on Reddit lost it 1 week ago:
The vast majority of conversations I have with people on a daily basis are on an order of magnitude more moronic than the ones I have with AI. So that also plays a part.
- Comment on Reddit lost it 1 week ago:
Not really. A mirror shows an actual reflection of yourself. An AI response is a highly curated version of a particular subset of ideas, in fact, the more I think about it the more this analogy straight up implodes.
- Comment on Android’s most beloved launcher may be done for good 1 week ago:
You make it sound as if every system is perfectly equal, and that all humans are the same, and that nothing we choose or decide matters at all and that the only form of existence is the one we are seeing right now.

This is the route I went years ago. Not only do i not feel like lugging around an obnoxiously long buttonless 1kg remote control, within two months the display will be shattered because I sneezed, and I will have to buy a new one because replacing the screen costs as much as a new phone.
I know they do that shit by design. Why would the back side of the phone need to be made of fucking glass? It’s literally the only reason I ever buy new phones, they never break, and they never survive long enough to be “too old” to use.

None of those have worked for me on Android since a couple of months.
Firefox with uBlock Origin is the last bastion, and don’t think that’s not on their radar.

My suspicion is that the main purpose of Googles decision is to stop F-Droid and Aurora Store from working.

“No” is what I would prefer to say but for some reason “that is extremely unlikely” hits the point home harder.

You can research a phone you like and check if it has an unlockable bootloader, root it, and install something like LineageOS on it. It’s fairly straight-forward, not super technically demanding, but it does require some tinkering and time setting up.
xdaforums.com is where the rooting kids hang out, post guides for specific models, upload images et c, you can probably do it in an afternoon with GPT.

How this isn’t obvious and something we should collectively want is beyond me. We really don’t fucking need more than 8 billion people. I don’t think we need more than 1, and even that is pushing it.
