> Wanting people dead or imprisoned simply for existing is the sort of inconsistent view that is likely easiest to change by moving people out of radicalized spaces...

I just don't see how polis would do this. As far as I can tell this is largely about asking a questionnaire and then a polity can view the different responses and try to find legislation that's acceptable to the largest group of people.

There are some people you can reason with but if someone has priors they aren't willing to examine there's not much you can do. I don't think we could workshop our way to civil rights.

I don't understand the utility of this. Maybe it works for things like noise ordinances, but I can't imagine finding common ground with people who want me dead or imprisoned simply for existing.

So making CSAM of real people is ok if an AI is involved?

What counts towards a bullshit budget? Permitting is a drop in the bucket compared to construction costs.

I think people forget there were a ton of shit SNES/PSX/whatever games. I personally have a soft spot for the 16 bit era but there are plenty of indie games coming out that are just as beautiful and creative. There's also way more exploration with narrative structure now then there was back then.

I wonder if this is in meter? I know Philoctetes' pain noises are.

I posted an article about the same story and it got flagged and taken down. Maybe too controversial?

None of those articles mentions any of them saying they hate white people and they all link to a BLM wiki article that contradicts your claim that they were ringleaders if the movement.

There are plenty of places to publish AI generated music. Why should a platform allow music it's users clearly don't want.

I have not met a single person offline who wants more AI music

People are out there protesting right now even though ICE and the police have a history of shooting unarmed protestors. Leftists protestors are and always have been more harshly treated by this government than the other side.

People being less likely to buy multiple houses is going to make it harder for people to buy a primary residence?

Don't think we (Americans) would be happy if another country invaded and started capturing people to face trial in their country.

I think it's worse than that. There's a general unwillingness to engage with uncomfortable things. Can't really build empathy if there isn't space to talk about problems.

They have the same respect for domestic laws as they do for international ones

I was responding to someone giving a list of protests. My point was that a bunch of failed protests doesn't prove that Iran is particularly resistant to regime change. I was actually trying to say that this current one should be taken more seriously.

Most protests don't lead to regime change.

There are 2 competing textual varients in the Greek sources. The word for "good will" (eudokia) shows up in the nominative and the genitive. If it's genitive it modifies humankind if it's nominative it's parallel to the first half of the sentence meaning, in Heaven let there be glory to God, on Earth let there be good will to humankind.

That was fun! I read that verse earlier today and I didn't know about the version with genitive case.

I'm sure there are some that think that but I was taught the earth is 10,000 years, the creation story in Genesis is the literal truth, and people spell Christmas "Xmas" because people are trying to take Christ out of Christmas. None of these are fringe positions in the US. There are so Christians that believe science is real but we're very much the minority.

> The enormous public interest generated by garish reconstructions is surely because of and not in spite of their ugliness. It is hard to believe that this is entirely accidental. One possibility is that the reconstructors are engaged in a kind of trolling.

It's towards the end of the article. He doesn't directly mention culture war stuff but he does talk about it being "iconoclastic." I think it's a reasonable interpretation of what he was saying.

It's been done before

Would you mind explaining the difference between industrial vs trade union? Would something like the janitorial staff of a building owned by a gaming company be covered in an industrial union?

Most people don't want someone hauled off to a blacksite for posting a JD Vance meme

The issue isn't people posting AI generated comments on the Internet as a whole, it's whether it should be allowed in this space. Part of the reason I come to HN is the quality of comments are pretty good relative to other places online. I think it's a legitimate question whether AI comments would help or hinder discussion here.

You're mad because they left a vendor because they switched to a different vendor that you think is just as bad but also you're accusing them of starting an "inevitable purity spiral?" Which one is it?

How so?

It's certainly a possibility but I also wouldn't put it past him to advocate for something that evil.

He was literally part of a ring of rich and powerful pedophiles who trafficked underage women.

Does anyone believe these changes are being made for some sort of pragmatic reason? I feel like I'm insane. This administration is doing so many grifts how does anyone take what they say at face value anymore?

> Our ancestors would make the most daring bets in pursuit of a better for their children.

There are numerous counterexamples to this and plenty of them worked out fine. The speed and enthusiasm we adopt new technology is unmatched by any culture with a surviving literary tradition that I'm aware of.
