Perhaps that's the level of chocolate? Like you can have 90% dark chocolate, this is 40%.

Zorque ,

I prefer Stardew Valley

Zorque ,

Why is red the only one associated with negativity?

Zorque ,

Isn't that just what they were referencing?

Zorque ,

That's what post-its are for!

Zorque ,

Is everything completely black and white for you?

The system isn't perfect, especially where we prioritize punishing people over rehabilitation. Would you rather punish everyone equally, emphasizing that if people are going to risk the legal implications (which, based on legal systems the world over, people are going to do) they might as well just go for the real thing anyways?

You don't have to accept it as morally acceptable, but you don't have to treat them as completely equivalent either.

There's gradations of questionable activity. Especially when there's no real victims involved. Treating everything exactly the same is, frankly speaking, insane. Its like having one punishment for all illegal behavior. Murder someone? Death penalty. Rob them? Straight to the electric chair. Jaywalking? Better believe you're getting the needle.

Zorque ,

So... its just a claim they're making and you're hoping it has actual backing.

Zorque ,

But you didn't say you had proof with your comment, you said it was probable. Basically saying its common sense that its proven.

Why are you getting aggressive about actually having to provide proof about something when saying its obvious?

Also, that seems to imply that locking up people for AI offenses would then encourage truly reprehensible behavior by linking them with those who already engage in it.

Almost like lumping people together as one big group, instead of having levels of grey area, means people are more likely to just go all in instead of sticking to something more morally defensible.

Zorque ,

Everything is 99% grey area. If someone tells you something is completely black and white you should be suspicious of their motives.

    Poorly organized socialized healthcare, sure.

    Zorque ,

    As opposed to private Healthcare where they're guaranteed to screw you over.

    Zorque ,

    The players make the game. It's not a one or the other thing.

    Zorque ,

    There'd be alternatives if people didn't give up before ever looking for them.

    Zorque ,

    You first.

    Zorque ,

    Its so smart it gets something else to do all the work for it.

    Zorque ,

    The shit is there, it's just in hiding.

    Zorque ,

    Because it's a tradition from the old testament that some (by no means all) churches use. It's nowhere near as universal as your own anecdotal references seem to imply.

    Zorque ,

    He didn't, he bought in to a company that was already set on doing it.

    Zorque ,

    A company is more than its most visible members. There were likely plenty of competent people in the hierarchy that were there before Musk and were able to continue that trend of competency until Musk decided he needed to control more and more of the intricacies of the company.

    The difference isnt what he was doing before to make things run smoothly so much as what he wasn't... that being getting in the way. He was a glorified PR guy. Which he was great at. Running a tech and manufacturing company? Not so much.

    Zorque ,

    Imagine thinking there's only one solution.

    Zorque ,

    That obviously being the only other choice, of course.

    Zorque ,

    They literally made an either or declaration of their own...

    Zorque ,

    The free market is propaganda to trick people into thinking capitalism is somehow ethically solvent.

    Zorque ,

    Fixing the issue doesn't line the pockets of investors. People aren't going to stop going to the hospital, so why fix it?

    Zorque ,

    Haven't iPhones had service lives far past most other phones? The used market for iPhones is huge compared to Android.

    Zorque ,

    A literal onion.

    Zorque ,

    Last I checked he was still in charge of it. The people Biden selected for the board of governors apparently decided he was an ok guy.

    Zorque ,

    One might say, if they were a discerning individual, that that would be a disqualifying quality in a candidate.

    Zorque ,

    That's about the right amount of words to completely ignore the sentiment of a statement so you can make a vapid holier-than-thou statement based on purported moral superiority.

    Zorque ,

    Which is more of a "zero-tolerance" policy, like unto giving the same punishment to a student defending themselves as the one given to the person who initiated the attack.

    Zorque ,

    I don't know if I'd ever be bored if I had a Wee Knight to ride.

    Zorque ,

    I'd say the only thing worse than AI having access to your money is TurboTax having the same.

    Zorque ,

    ... you're scared AI is going to steal from you?

    Zorque ,

    Rand Paul votes no on anything that allows the government to do anything. I doubt he even reads the bills.

    Zorque ,

    You can call yourself a leftist without actually espousing ideals reflecting it.

    Tankies aren't leftist, they're leftist cosplayers.

    Zorque ,

    Or a fanatical one.

    Zorque ,

    Marx also assumed that revolution eventually leads to a communist utopia.

    Thus far they have only led to authoritarian regimes. Even Cuba is little more than a benevolent dictatorship.

    Weapons are a good way to combat other weapons, not ideology.

    Zorque ,

    Masking.

    Zorque ,

    Yeah, but when the default isn't tailored specifically to me and no one else, it's clearly bad design.

    Zorque ,

    As another commenter has suggested, you can get it out of your way if you take the time and energy to do so. It just requires that you put in effort rather than have it handed to you on a silver platter.

    Zorque ,

    Which often have settings if you look for them.

    Are you shouldn't have Grandpa Simpson yelling at a cloud as your profile pic? Admiral Patrick sn't anywhere near as much a curmudgeon.

    Zorque ,

    Are they all kind of the same, or do they serve different purposes?

    I know people often complain about how there aren't any small phones anymore... that's often because, if a company only releases a phone once a year (or less) they're going to have a hell of a lot less variety. Because most companies are going to go for the general market, not the niche market.

    Zorque ,

    Aren't fiber lines typically symmetrical? At least that's how I've usually seen them advertised.

    Zorque ,

    🤪

    Zorque ,

    *enshittification

    (apologies to all those people sick of that phrase by now)

    Zorque ,

    Wow, solar panels that last forever? That's quite the technological achievement...

    Zorque ,

    You're taking an off-hand joke comment pretty seriously there, bud.

    I'm a proponent of things like solar and nuclear, but having some kind of fantasy position of them being perfect technologies with no downsides whatsoever is a special kind of delusional.

    You want to actually convince people of their benefits? Stop making up dream scenarios and provide realistic examples.

    Zorque ,

    Its not an argument, its a joke.

    You must see enemies around every corner... I'd recommend talking to a therapist about that.
