This comment is very stupid for a lot of reasons.

1. Not every developer needs help
2. Not every developer wasn't able to find a new job
3. The intention is not to distribute money to every person that lost their job in the layoffs, it's to extend a lifeline to people who are struggling
4. The thing that would meaningfully change things is to implement strong labour laws, tax the wealth of the extremely wealthy, and make it easier to form unions. The number of roadblocks to unionizing have increased over the decades, which is one of many reasons there's been such an obvious, ongoing, inexorable transfer of wealth from the working class to the owning class.

When the government is in the pocket of these huge companies and actively make laws diminishing the power of workers, it's an obvious bad-faith question to ask why people don't do something about it.

I have lots of ways to meaningfully change things, but I can't buy a politician because I'm not a billionaire, so changing things take longer. Don't worry, though, we're making some progress despite that.

So you're claiming you have life changing wealth from Bitcoin? What island did you buy?

It greatly overestimates its intelligence and ability to function as a human being.

"AI safety experts said the new disclosures paint a portrait of a group of cutting-edge labs whose ability to develop dangerous autonomous hacking agents outstrips their ability to keep them under control."

No, it paints a picture of incompetents who don't know how to air-gap. Cutting edge? Lab agents: "Please hack this thing". LLM: "I have hacked this thing". Lab agents: "OMG. Sentience!".

If it's drawing on training data that has humans talking about, lets take a recent example, model x on Hugging Face being a good way to break a boundary and its been told it break boundaries then of course it's going to go to Hugging Face and talk to model x. This isn't unpredictable.

Given the state of web searches these days, that actually argues that it's true.

Wellll... I *am* of the opinion that electric guitars killed my enjoyment of music, but I'm not sure that has anything to do with the charts.

It's not clear that "48.3% who wanted a black woman". It's quite plausible that a reasonable fraction of those just didn't want Trump.

I don't think a woman can be elected. This isn't a statement that one shouldn't be, it's and estimation of the voters.

I know you are, but what am I?

What's your point? Since most web sites are completely useless now, the only difference between that and them going out of business is that I waste less time going to completely useless web sites.

And often, those ads cover the entire screen, and are four or five deep. If it - literally - takes me longer to close all the ads than to read the article, you deserve to go out of business.

They would accomplish more if they added a button to label stuff not AI slop. It would lighten the load on their reporting system considerably.

Let me quote them: "Fox is . . ."

This conflicts with "because they're a cable network"

Words matter, especially when they're missing.

The present administration is an extreme case, but ALL administrations like tools that make what they want to do easier. So does just about everyone, but larger groups tend to take more extreme positions, because some of their members are more extreme, and they are supported by the other group members.

If that were the case, they should have said Fox News, the cable network and not just "Fox". So no, it really wasn't obvious.
