Have to agree with you. You can’t introduce concepts like phishing and MFA without actually explaining what they are.
Okay you first, see how it worked for Luigi Mangione
If your plate is recorded then later searched wouldn’t that be a violation of constitutional rights?
Do you not count people cutting down and smashing flock cams as being engaged?
Imagine an 80 year old bragging about acing screening tests for Alzheimer’s as if they were a Wonderlic, then shitting his pants in the Oval Office
The part people take issue with is him saying it’s “terrible” not the assertion that it’s suboptimal in economic terms
The problem is he has no desire for resources to be common assets, he wants them to be his assets
How much of the customer base actually follows their internal politics and dev processes?
> The thing with tech products is they could just leave and start another company.
This is such a cop out response. They still need funding, and infrastructure, and to build up an entire customer base who presumably they would need to bribe with free service at a loss in order to attract anyone new. Who’s gonna fund that when there’s a known market ceiling for the service that’s already been captured? We’re not in ZIRP anymore
Can’t help but think there’s a possibility he orchestrated this somehow in exchange for a kickback from NK
Yeah I didn’t realize his sentence was only 4 months which is pretty pitiful when he was financially supporting terrorism. You get more for having an ounce of weed in the wrong state.
Since when is X anything other than propaganda and porn
He was convicted of laundering billions of dollars for Iran and Russia, then bought enough Trump coin for a pardon
CZ the money laundering guy who bought a pardon from Trump right? He should still be in prison, still crazy Binance survived that whole scheme.
Most people probably wouldn’t cop to the real reason they use the CSAM and non-consensual nudes generator
I still think LLMs should be banned from using first person pronouns
(yes I understand this is likely not legal or practicable)
> unobtrusive AI that facilitates your creative and commercial endeavors.
I think you mean “subtly influences your behaviors and consumption decisions to align with the AI’s (or its owners) ideal outcomes”
What’s with BATNA invading the lexicon lately? There’s no negotiated agreement here
How do you possibly interpret that as bragging?
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.”

How? If you don’t follow orders you get fired eventually. No one has any real power at Meta other than Zuck.
Your argument would carry more weight if the employees weren’t getting paid absurd sums of money. It’s very easy to stick around and keep getting rich while signing petitions and virtue signaling on social media.
And you sound like an internet revolutionary who’s never encountered actual violence
> are you confident that the current level of extraction is optimal, or sustainable?
No, I just don’t think a class war is the answer. Equitable and stable resource distribution doesn’t necessitate retribution towards the current ruling class. An imperfect system beats no system at all.
> The fact that 9/11 happened does not imply that DHS and ICE as currently structured and operating are necessary.
Never said that it does. I’m not in favor of the domestic surveillance dragnet or Trump’s usage of ICE as shock troops and bodysnatchers. Reform is absolutely needed; eliminating the functions of DHS and ICE entirely is foolhardy. The lies and propaganda painting all immigrants as violent radicals don’t change the reality that there is a subset of evil people intent on doing harm.
You sound nuts. I’m not denying the existence of false flags. There is zero evidence to support a false flag theory for 9/11. The intelligence failures were a result of organizational inefficiency and incompetence, not malice.
Given the intense scrutiny of the event you’d think there’d be some evidence if it was actually a false flag, no? It’s pure fantasy. Frankly it’s more likely the 9/11 conspiracy theories are planted by Russian operatives to sow dissent.
Either you don’t know what a false flag is or you are way off the conspiracy deep end. Terrorism has always existed, modern society has just made it easier to kill en masse. America’s misadventures in the Middle East definitely instigated the conflict and the attacks but it’s factually incorrect to imply 9/11 was orchestrated by the US
