We are obligated to ignore stupid laws. To mock them, to flaunt them and ultimately get them removed.

We are not sheep.

Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.

As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.

Everyone's (rightfully) bitching about this, and I agree, but none of that solves the problem.

What's the alternative? Give me a TV brand that gives you, ideally, a dumb TV, but alternatively a decent smart TV that is easy to work with.

Responsiveness is an important, and often overlooked, characteristic. It's important.

Brand/model recommendations; go!

The bots are the most interesting part of reddit. It's fascinating to me what foreign actors want us thinking or believing.

It's not like the organic reddit content has any value. This will be like the time onlyfans pretended they were going to get rid of porn.

Since when has "Free speech on the platform" been a consideration for either Alphabet OR Meta?

You think they'll take the loss out of the goodness of their hearts? Absolute bullshit; at most they'll shuffle the numbers around so it's hard to trace how it's being passed on to the consumer or local community.

Remember when "Think of the children" was a phrase which was rightly mocked as manipulative and only fooled the smoothest of the smooth brains who couldn't think beyond their emotional reaction?

Now it's a battle cry that suckers in millions.

This will not end well.

Why is this a problem?

I do not want my software censoring anything I make.

Neoliberalism and liberalism are two totally different things.

Ai will just shine the light on the class of workers who have make-work just that exist solely to push them to vote harder.

When we can let markets replace them, itâ(TM)ll be a tragedy for a few generations and then it will be forgotten.

Am I the only one who misses the pixel 2? It felt like the best phone. I was/am a huge fan of the rear finger print reader, and I must have been one of the few that used the squeeze functionality.

Every later version of the pixel is fine, but has felt like a step down from the 2.

I am anti copyright and have been all my life. I have created things of value and always dump them into the public domain.

Copyright infringes our rights to use our brain and voice and hands and body.

Fuck IP.

Federal regulations are stupid level: they are owned by lobbyists and megacorps.

Send this to the states.

Regulators should be afraid of weaponized Ai. So should censors. So should monopolists.

All of the things the State has done in the past 500 years has been corrupt and bureaucratic and caused harm. All. Not most, but all.

All of the people who supported it, from monopolists to lobbyists to activists caused harm.

Ai is undoing it all. Not piece by piece but all at once.

I, for one, can't wait to see folks zapped for restraining voluntary behavior.
