But you're right, it's a cool one. You should grab it.

An interesting theory; however, nobody has been arrested and nobody will be arrested... so your theory already fails. Maybe once we start holding people accountable in this country again, your theory will prevail. I am not holding out any hope. We are completely fucked. The Rule of Law is utterly meaningless except as a punishment regime for everyone who is not in power.
Sure, but the predatory interests are the people who want you identified no matter where you go. Nobody gives a fuck about the health of kids; otherwise, there would be free school lunches and such.
It's good to protect kids
Hard disagree. It is good to positively support kids. It is evil to protect them. How will they ever become adults if they are always protected? There is nothing to learn if there is nothing to lose.
You all know deep down our position in the alternate world with Harris as President is a lot better than here in 2026, she would have been better, everyones fragile little souls will have to deal with that reality eventually.
Only the faithful disagree; however, electing Harris would not have cleansed the Republican party, so the delay would have been just that, a delay to what is occurring right now. Better to go through it earlier rather than later. All of this was inevitable since at least the 1970s.
There are about 10,000 people who matter. They are neither Democrat or Republican. They want money and power. All of the money and power. They will get it as they lose it. What a miserable fucking timeline. So fucking one dimensional. At least they are having some fun, but the frustration of not quite getting what you want despite having everything must be quite annoying.
I'd be happy to hear that I'm wrong, and that we can end up with reliable models. Even at that though, I suspect humans will continue to prompt the models to create slop anyway, because it's profitable and/or strategically useful.
It is possible, but it is not easy, to create a reliable model. Which means, of course, that it is impossible because almost nobody does anything hard. They want everything for free or less. The scams are endless and the integrity is nonexistent.
Copyright EXISTS to encourage creation not destruction.
That is so last century. Stop being naive. Copyright exists to generate as much profit as possible. The Constitution is irrelevant now. Over 2 centuries of law being created to subvert the original intentions has created the opposite of what is written. There is nothing to be done about it but let the evil people do whatever the fuck they want. The rest of humanity just doesn't care enough anymore to resist and resisting by yourself is just a pointless death. The USA is over. I nominate the name of "The Kleptocracy" for the new nation. Seems perfect. We can all be proud of being exploited by it.
That's not what they signed up for when they were granted right of way and monopoly powers. They just want to weasel out of it.
Welcome to the United State of America my friend. The land of broken promises, lies, and theft. You should take a peek at our current president to get a better view of what it is all about.
The national debt jumping from 1 trillion to 2 trillion to 8 trillion to 30 trillion is the literal looting of the treasury. It has been happening for a very long time now. This side-corruption bullshit is minor in comparison, but it is more vulgar.
And thus the beginning of shifting the entire government bureaucracy to AI?
I don't see a lot of people responding to this nuance. I'm not sure why.
Switching to permanent 'Daylight' time seems incorrect. Switching to permanent 'Standard' time seems like the right answer.
I've seen a lot of these bills come through and it always seems to be the 'Daylight' choice that people fight against. Why is that always added?
If the bill was simply "get rid of 'switching times'" there are few (but there are some) that fight against it. But instead it says "Get rid of switching times and leave it at "Daylight"" It's like they are torpedoing their own bill.
And 'Names' make it worse than 'Numbers.'
Trying to pretend the words on your account somehow mean that's who you are is the problem. This idea that if someone has "Michael Jackson" next to their post then its the actual famous person talking isn't something that can work.
It's better if that name next to people's posts is known to be just 'self-selected words.' Nobody will be fooled into thinking it's Michael Jackson, if there are 5000 different accounts claiming they are Michael Jackson.
Actual 'authentication' shouldn't be done based on your username or any other 'self-selected words.' Instead, there's a 'behind the scenes' unique identifier, and you keep track of the ones you care about.
---
The problem becomes, not one of 'identification', but one of 'discovery.' How do you find the real one? You go to the official source, and they tell you who they are. Then you only care about that one particular "Michael Jackson" and ignore the rest.
You now only own a license that can be revoked at any time.
That was true back in 2006. Every disc bought since then would not actually let you play the game, you had to connect to the internet and download gigabytes more.
I was in the middle of nowhere, had a PS3 and an unopened copy of Need for Speed. I popped the disc in and was excited to play the new game. Yeah, that didn't happen. It insisted that I connect to the internet and download gigabytes of data. I couldn't download because I was in the middle of nowhere. I did not ever purchase another console after that experience.
Long story short, the current status is not really a change. At least they are not misleading you anymore.
It is a good thing that the second law of thermodynamics doesn't exist.
