Coxon has never had an actual job. He is a "researcher" in his mid-20s whose only two jobs have been at OpenAI and Anthropic, in both cases at the bottom rung of the totem pole.

These are the only two jobs he has ever held. He has never used these technologies in the real world.

He has never seen how incredibly limited they are at performing even the most basic of tasks due to their limitations.

He is not speaking from a position of any kind of authority or even specialized knowledge.

He is a nobody.

I am sure you know this and are just trying to shit on the editors, as one does on /.; but here, use this in case you didn't know: https://xcancel.com/_lyraaaa_/...

False. You can install any Chrome extension including uBlock Origin. I have it installed right now.

I have switched to Edge for one reason - the mobile version supports Chrome extensions.

When we pass laws that regulate people, do we let their reasoning decide if they go to prison? Or the consequences of their actions?

Is murdering someone OK if they had a good reason?

Trying to govern and control AI by monitoring its thought process is, and always has been, a very stupid way to ensure safety.

If you want to ensure AI safety THEN YOU NEED TO GOVERN ITS ACTIONS. PERIOD.

Unless you can create an objective definition for what intelligence even means or how to quantify it, let alone superintelligence, then this legislation is pointless as it is unenforceable.

WTF is he doing? He's like actively trying to destroy the US!

No one is going to visit a website they can't even pronounce let alone spell.

Its a paid feature. You don't get it for free.

We have had access to this in Canada for a long time but it is ridiculously overpriced so I don't pay for it.

Eggshell white?

I don't know where you are, but where I am local politicians don't even advertise or make known any party affiliation. They actually seem to actively avoid it.

Flock cameras are invariably deployed by local police departments.

Local officials are the most vulnerable class to being voted out, because local elections are dominated by local issues, not national issues or party politics.

Make the surveillance cameras a local election issue. Raise awareness at local community groups. Be loud. You will see them be taken down quickly.

Mastodon COULD be fine, if it had better discovery systems, and anyone at all used it.

X is now cesspool of alt-right toxic hate, intermixed with silicon valley AI tech bros, and politicians and clueless legacy media folks. Those are the only groups who still use it.

Meanwhile, Threads is just full of people who like to argue about random crap.

BlueSky is like X, but the opposite... it is alt-left toxic hate and mind-numbing social justice warriors who wont just chill out.

Most people who use social media, the 99%, don't want any of this. They just want to relax and chill and talk about fun things. That is what "old twitter" used to be, and it no longer exists, in any of these networks.

Yes but thats no bearing at all on the shares Ellison owned.

3 people A, B, and C own 1 share of a company valued at $10 per share, total market cap of the company is $30.

A decides to sell his share to B for $20. Each share is now valued at $20, so total market cap of the company is $60..

C was not involved in that transaction at all, but his shares doubled in value from $10 to $20. ON PAPER. He never transacted at all.

This is how the stock market works, at a much higher scale It is also why the idea of taxing unrealized gains is stupid. You're taxing money that doesn't actually exist. The real problem (and thing that needs to be dealt with) is people using unrealized gains to secure loans.
