lemmetellya··on Meta Blocks President Lula's Facebook Page, Campaign Ads 2 Weeks from Election
I agree with both of you.

They should be handled differently [than they are today]. They should not be handled differently [than any other persons]. Meta should be giving everyone careful review.

What universe have you been in for the past decade? Meta is hand in glove with authoritarian interests, including in the US.

At some level of rich, it is necessarily true you are a self involved asshole. People who aren't assholes find ways to avoid becoming that rich.

I'm not talking about your $500k/year white collar senior engineer. But at some point in the XY millions a year bracket, you can have it all and everything on top of that is kinda assholish.

She advocated to burn refugees alive.

Did he? How much change did he enact, and what was the consequence to his person?

"AI led us to do a horrific war crime" is just about the most predictable outcome for anyone paying attention to AI. The problem is so much deeper than AI. There should have been so many layers that stopped this even if they got the idea from AI.
lemmetellya··on LGBT tolerance slumps in the Netherlands as debate turns vicious
Interracial marriage was federally protected in 2022, and only permitted by court opinion in 1967 in the US. You better believe it was not socially acceptable in much of the South just because the court said it was legal.

Heck, I bet there are communities today where you cannot safely live if you have an interracial marriage. I don't think it's as solved as you suggest.

I lived in a lefty urban environment in the 90s and recall many people telling me I wasn't allowed to date noon write women.

lemmetellya··on What California is learning from solar panels built over irrigation canals
Biomass is zero carbon. It pulled all the carbon it will emit from the air already. Burning it simply returns what it had already recently removed.

One can even potentially pyrolize the biomass and get biochar, giving up some energy but making it carbon negative power source.

lemmetellya··on People Training OpenAI's AI Fired for Using AI to Train the AI
It's not a clickbait title? Click bait has a very different meaning. The click bait title would be something like, "Open AI mysteriously fired these workers, find out why"

This title says why. The article then goes on to explain why that's a problem. Pretty straightforward.

lemmetellya··on First Shader from Zero in Godot 4
Godot is such a delight. Brings me back to working with Flixel and Flash game dev. It's really shaping up to be a powerful tool in a simple package, and it's eating Unity's lunch for game jams these days.

It's amazing how badly Unity fumbled the bag over the past five years. From messing with developers incomes, to shipping a bunch of half finished copies of the same systems. Just... astonishing.

This isn't a slippery slope. They ban gambling. Polymarket is gambling. It gets banned.
lemmetellya··on Texas judge rules TikTok misled users on child safety feature
What about:

4) Human moderated in smaller communities

5) Self run reputation systems

Plenty of communities exist out there that aren't a free for all, do not perform id checks, have adult content, and are free from children.

lemmetellya··on Waymo pulls over, calls cops on juvenile riders who had 'ghost gun"
Wait, can I not carry in a Waymo?

Found their rules page: "Do not carry weapons of any kind in the car"

That seems... naive? Plenty of people carry pepper spray or a knife with them. Not even ever intending to use them as a weapon.

When I go to the range, I travel with a locked case that contains my pistol, which inside has a cable lock. I couldn't take that through a waymo?

What about some kid buying a goofy mall katana they are going to put on their wall?

Like, obviously brandishing a weapon should be disallowed, but merely having anything that's a weapon? Seems fraught.
