>while the old guard starts to use it as a notification board

Darknet marketplaces.

It's responsible for facilitating a ton of fantastic trips amongst myself and friends.

What part are you disagreeing with?
austhrow743··on Our First Generalist Policy
We will work jobs where being human is an innate part of the value proposition eg. servants, wait staff, sex workers.

There are also jobs you wouldn't historically thought of where being human is an innate part of the value proposition but I've seen takes on here from people saying they'll stop watching movies and go to see live plays when movies become purely AI generated.

America not using its nuclear advantage to secure its nuclear advantage doesn’t mean it couldn’t have.
austhrow743··on WordPress.org bans WP Engine
If they had an informal development in exchange for server access type relationship then that would qualify as some sort of obligation.

Doesn't really have anything to do with open source though. Haven't seen anything about matt/wordpress.org/Automattic trying to prevent them from using open source code.

Seems like you should act as if you will be.
austhrow743··on Independent directors of 23andMe resign from board
If the one offering 20% over listed price is the one causing the listed price to be far more than 20% below what the company could be worth if they were running it properly, most people would consider that to be a ripoff.
austhrow743··on Independent directors of 23andMe resign from board
My take on their comment was that it should be worth many billions if it was being run effectively but that it's not.

austhrow743··on Calculating the cost of a Google DeepMind paper

Sure. That's also the assumption when you upload your private information to someone else's computer. Except for the "unless explicitly promised otherwise" part.
