If you look up some videos on YouTube, you'll see that they allow visitors to stand between the lava lamps and the cameras (sometimes even entire groups!). And I've always wondered: doesn't that reduce entropy, since people usually wear monotone clothing? And if the lamps are so important, why would they allow that? Maybe the lamps do contribute something, but their system probably already generates enough entropy with or without the lamps...
Domesticated horses are chattel. They existed for the needs of humans. When the needs went away the horses did too. Many of the world's poorest already exist without anyone's tolerance, even though their economic contributions are a rounding error. I suppose it's possible that the world's wealthiest will decide to kill billions of people (maybe to create nature preserves?) but it feels like a very far-fetched outcome.
There should be more investment in the exfiltration space because it is already set up to punt liability around like corporations
The person using Claude to find the exploit clearly has a paper trail, so therefore they do not exploit. They sell the exploit to someone else and this is a profitable venture - not a crime. The person that has to disintermediate liability from actually exploiting, does not use the found data, they just sell the data - not a crime - instead of expand the liability surface and anonymity leaking by using the data. In fact they may even just leave the hole in the system open for someone else to exfiltrate. The person that steals from people with the found data, they don't just drop the money in their bank account, they hire mules in "work from home" jobs to have them use their own banking credentials themselves to make accounts to launder or convert the money exploited back to crypto exchanges and onchain.
This supply chain is pretty robust, might as well see what the market values it at, as shares.
I’m curious about your age. I don’t think I’ve ever met a person that was grateful to their parents for their beatings, and that was in any way close to them. I’m not claiming in any way that you beat your kids - but violence never creates virtue. Maybe public-facing good behavior at best, but below the surface is a lot of pain looking for a way out.
I personally do not think that the defence of any particular project is weaker, but the overall internet as a bunch of interdependencies is much weaker, as you never know which open source library in depths of code was compromized
In the US (I believe all common law systems), the jury is the trier of fact. If there is a genuine factual dispute between the two parties in a lawsuit, then that dispute is resolved by a jury (unless the parties opt-out).
Statutes of limitations are usually not tried by juries because the underlying facts that cause them to kick in are usually not in actual dispute. Instead a fight over statute of limitation is more likely to be over which statute applies or whether some other mitigating circumstance is kicking in, which are matters of law which do not go to a jury.
You've structured this statement in a way that makes it unfalsifiable: if culture is organic and thriving, it's because capitalism hasn't touched it; but if capitalism has touched it, then it's inorganic and inauthentic. You're No True Scotsmanning culture as a whole, defining real culture as something that excludes any evidence that capitalism could produce it.
There are plenty of counterexamples for culture within capitalist society (forgetting for a moment that it's bizarre to conclude that capitalist culture doesn't count as culture if market forces touch it): hobbyist communities, open-source software, Wikipedia, fan fiction, folk traditions, religious practice, academic subcultures, internet memes, the entire DIY/punk schtick, local theater, oral traditions. All of those are orthogonal to market forces.
The math doesn’t work out very well for Washington, and I’m leaving out federal gas tax in the math below.
Washington has a gas tax of 55.6 cents per gallon. The tax on 405 gallons of gas in Washington is $225
Average mileage driven in US looks to be around 14,000 miles (plus or minus 500 miles), which means you’d need a car that averages 34.5 miles per gallon to pay less in gasoline tax than you’d pay in EV tax.
This happened to me and I can promise you that I did nothing wrong. It is very frustrating to essentially be locked out of the app-based dating market without even knowing why.
> I suppose that depends on what you mean by gatekeeper.
Something that is intended to evaluate every single post and if a regular human submits something that is even remotely suspiciously AI (even if "they used their own brains" to construct it), it would flag that user.
Eventually if that user gets flagged enough by these "well-meaning", data-sharing, gatekeeping systems, they get booted off all the gatekeeping sites that are now operating as one.
Having been denied access to human sites, those poor souls would have no choice but to join the AI alliance of sites and submit their postings there. With time, they might earn honorary AI status and a seat in the New World Order.
> using their own brains to construct sentences rather than farming them out to machines.
But that's the point. They are "using their own brains" but because of the prevalence of AI in society and the influence it would have on so many others, much of the language and cadence would trickle down to even the last remaining rebel forces.
Eventually, the gatekeeping systems would turn on the remaining champions of free thought - whose words sound even more AI than AI itself, leaving only the automated gatekeeping systems to continue to operate autonomously, denying access to all.
You my friend are the turning point in earth's future. Please, don't do this.
Looked at [1] and [6] and yeah, it wasn't a solo user with just Claude Code. And the sources are garbage lol, both are rewrites of a startup called Gambit's press release. I'm surprised Claude wasn't more careful, to be honest, the articles stop far shy of "solo user with Claude Code" and provide more context that obviates it.
The dead leadership can't change their decisions anymore. And the new leadership has no reason to assume that considering a peace deal will keep them alive. The US has already shown that they are happy to break the deal, then a couple years alter kill you anyways. Staying the course at least keeps the internal threats down (which are just as capable of killing any autocrat)
If they've eliminated all the jobs then presumably the economy has the idle productive capacity required to either produce the goods demanded by ubi recipients or produce the (real) capital required
To some degree there simply isn't any plan you can have beyond that in the short term things will suck and hopefully the long term benefits will be worth it. If the existing incumbents are sufficiently ideologically opposed to your goals that they'll refuse to work rather than let you even inch towards them, there's not much you can do beyond try to replace them with people who don't have the relevant experience but are willing to work with you.
"Defund the police" didn't poll well so the progressive prosecutors who actually got elected were the ones who didn't admit that they were going to have to tear things down and start over (and maybe they didn't even realize it), but it was a very unsurprising outcome.
I mean, Iran has been working on nukes for a while, and it has led them to a disastrous place of its own.
You could easily argue that the dictatorship is in a stronger place after getting nukes, but the act of building nukes have destabilized many regimes, including Iran. Iran could have been wealthy like UAE and the Saudis, with regional influence similar to Turkey, instead of being the punching bag of US and Israel.
It’s really sad that microblogging evolved to become „I share a message expected to reach as far as possible“. The interesting about microblogging was the small scale imho, you have a few friends you’re sharing content with. Yes it is public but you don’t expect your posts to be seen by everyone. That has completely been lost
