Whelp, considering the FAA seems to think the same as you…looks like we need to revise civil service protections and do to the federal agencies what was done to Twitter. Sorry folks!

My god heaven forbid people don’t go through THE PROCESS

Can you believe when you get dicked around by unelected bureaucrats for political reasons people get upset? They should know to listen to their betters!

He’s being shaken down by an authoritarian no different than anyone in Russia, you think he should have tried asking nicely instead?

Ah yes “social media bad”. Lemme guess, “Orange man bad” too?

You’re cheering on expansion of government power and the end of the free internet as we know it.

No, they can appeal to the state to get them to do it.

But you still think parliament actually controls the government as opposed to Whitehall, so I understand why this may be a little intellectually challenging for you.

Of course Comrade, there must be consequences for these firms pushing Counter-Revolutionary content. They can have free expression, but they must realize these algorithms are causing great harm to the Proletariat by platforming such content.

In the sense of the French Revolution, perhaps

Hacker News commenters not being communist challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

Serious though, fuck off

You’ll know the pendulum has actually shifted when “toxic femininity” appears in print.

I shoulda added the “/s”

Food (despite recent inflation) is still very cheap in the grand scheme of things, despite it being something ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY for survival.

This is why other goods you absolutely need, like clothes, shoes, and food, are ALSO some of the most expensive out there.

Correct. The industries with shortages (housing, healthcare, education) are ALSO the ones with Soviet-tier central planning. Honestly, we shouldn’t be surprised!

RLHF = nerfing and censorship

What, did you think the plebs would get access to the real deal?

If you stop looking at the internet it immediately becomes clear nothing is happening.

Apocalyptic thinking is not the mark of a healthy mind.

Interesting they don’t protest at the factory of VW, or BMW, or Mercedes, or Porsche. Maybe it’s not actually the “environment” they’re protesting for.

Panspermia doesn’t answer the abiogenesis question anyway. Who cares?

And it sounds like you’re a communist, unless how you can explain how you can ban “investment partnerships buying companies” without doing away with private ownership more broadly?

The issue people have isn’t with “private equity”. If it was a publicly traded company doing this people would be equally upset.

Yes, because communism (what else is “banning private equity”?) NEVER results in “enshitification” of ANY kind.

Seriously, the issue here can most likely be tracked to private equity taking advantage of existing regulations. Not sure why MORE state involvement in the economy would be the solution.

It doesn’t fix anything. Rents in major cities like Shanghai or Shenzhen are proportionally pricier than even the priciest American metros. All these ghost houses are in places no one wants to live. On the same note, rent is pretty damn cheap in Toledo, Ohio.

Just move it to Russia, the only country with an enlightened approach to digital copyright law.

No, it’s not a good point. It could be 10^100000000 flops and it wouldn’t fucking matter. There’s no evidence that would do anything at all. “AGI” may not even be possible with those flops. You’re talking about what would require unprecedented control over computing to ease fears over a scary robot fanfic. None of the “safety” concerns are real. A GPT4 open source would do nothing but hurt Sam Altman’s bottom line - YOU ARE BEING DUPED.

If you’re not being serious, I appreciate your sarcasm. If you are, this may be one of the worst things I have ever read. It’s fucking math people. Math. It will not create some scary golem. It will create marginally better chatbots. You are arguing for totalitarian control over computing to line Microsoft’s pockets. Shame. Shame shame shame shame shame.

GenAI will continue to be used. People will just learn to hide it better. Eventually it will all be GenAI and you’ll be none the wiser.

Can we make petty crime illegal again?

Interesting that poor people in say, Japan, don’t have these sorts of issues for the most part.

It’s a more parsimonious explanation for why there seems to be a disconnect between subjective feelings about the economy and the stats than the “vibecession” idea.

Pretending they were just asking for bathroom breaks is total BS.

You’re describing another consequence of hotel and land use regulations. Ease up zoning and hotels in a house form-factor will be built, as demand clearly exists!

All the comments here say “build more housing”. True! But to solve Airbnb, it’s “build more hotels!”

Like with Taxis and Uber, there are clearly regulatory hurdles to fulfilling hotel demand. We can tell because places like Tokyo have cheap cheap hotels, despite high density.
