Both are bad

The problem is AI

Yes, technology has been controlling humanity’s direction for a long time. Zero participation in the problems is the solution, and we also need to build alternatives. Parallel societies where doing things with less technology and doing things ethically is prized over doing things cheaply and efficiently.

Exactly

The internet functioned before data centers. It was much better back when websites were personal home pages.

Thanks for the posts. In future can you try to post links to Invidious instead of YouTube? Like this: https://invidious.nerdvpn.de/watch?v=ro262oyhZAI. We don’t want to give YouTube anymore of people’s data.

That’s what parallel societies are for!

You’re right that anything a big politician or Attorney General is involved with is probably a sham. It’s likely just to make it look like they’re doing something. I think they’re targeting Netflix because they can prove selling data on children. I think it’s a mistake to think big politicians or Attorneys General really have an ideology beyond selfishness. They didn’t get to those places by having strong beliefs, they got there by deals under the table.

And it’s 15% owned by Oracle and 30% owned by AI and tech investment firms.

They recently used AI to translate a lot of code to Rust. Thought it sounded like a neat project right until then.

Because people are treating AIs like human friends

I know what you mean. But it doesn’t have to be that way if enough people walk away and decide to do something positive instead.

Do you think he understands everyone else’s though processes? Presumably if you were surrounded by guys like him then you would be able to comprehend the way they think.

This reminds me of that quote

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

Now imagine it’s your children too.

Very true. And we have to remember that our own views are informed by years of study/observation in areas other people will not have paid any attention to. So often it would take a book worth of real life examples to give someone the same background experience, and they would have to read that book carefully over many months for those examples to sink in, and still then they might think those are cherry-picked examples, whereas you came across them organically.

Thanks for the inside view. I never knew a lot of the survey takers came from mobile games or that spending could be tracked.

They’re already regulating social media…in all the wrong ways. Age verification is just the start.

They could have an AI tweak the statistics if they seem unrealistic
