There is always something we can do about it. Fight. The question is whether enough people have the will to do so, or whether they have accepted their fate as cattle.

Indentured servitude is voluntary and is exploitative. Whether it is voluntary is not indicative of whether it is exploitative. You have to look at the bigger picture.

”If people try to hold us accountable by talking among themselves about our actions, it takes away valuable time that could be used to do vaguely defined other actions” is not a terribly strong defense of moderation opacity.
Especially during a time when there is strong authoritarian pressure to suppress certain kinds of speech, and the result of your unaccountable actions is the suppression of that speech. The benefit of the doubt is rapidly being lost here.
edit: thank you for taking the time to email and post the response.

that doesn’t make any sense. NYT is paywalled and their links don’t get autokilled. (not your fault obviously, but whoever is calling the shots on this)

Re:Anthropic CEO Says He's Uneasy About Unelected Tech Leaders Shaping AI

there is a simple solution to this unease and it is to stop being the ceo of one of the largest AI companies.
This is reputation laundering in the form of “i feel bad for being one of the trigger pullers in this firing squad”

since the flock CEO’s comment is dead, i hope you don’t mind if i reply to him here.
Your wealth and power will not save you. Your rich friends will not save you. Turning off the monstrosity you are helping to create and reckoning with what you have already done in the world is the only thing that will. If there is still any shard of humanity left in you, I hope this finds it. It is not too late to turn away from the path you chose. But it soon will be. And there will be a reckoning either way.

did you know that flock has a data sharing contract with ring cameras? amazon’s panopticon is much larger. i believe it is on by default and users have to manually opt out, but i don’t have a ring camera to verify.

don’t worry, account age and moral viewpoints are only correlated, not linked causally! for instance, i’ve had an account for a long time and i also believe peter thiel is an evil man. it’s an easy logical fallacy to fall into! don’t feel bad for messing it up.

sorry, but “the washington times,” a site whose design and name seems suspiciously chosen to mirror that of the more well known and respected washington post, is not a reputable source by any metric that is not in bad faith.

it was founded in 1982 by a cult leader. try again

You are just blindly asserting this. Do you have any sources?
