the thing most people, sadly, seem to not understand is that this is win/win for firms. even if you fire everyone you actually need, you then hire others to do the same thing and pay them less. people assume ignorance where there is malice, it's very sad.

i'm not trying to be difficult or dismissive. it's like you're asking me "why is freedom of speech important?" or "what happens to the country in 10 years if the supreme court rules this way or that way on this case?" neither of these are "stranger on microblogging site" questions...

first you asked me if i read a misguided hand wave at "freedom of speech is out of control" opinion piece, now you're asking me which particular freedoms are "lost" if a specific case is overturned? i'm sorry, but that isn't serious. if you have a thesis or something, go ahead. please note context.

this doesn't strike me as a serious question, given the context. do you have something you want to say?

yes. giving up freedoms to avoid addressing the actual problem is a sucker's game. it is not the way to erode monopolistic or authoritarian control.

this is a thing we, as a society, need to solve (with money; employment, health care, education, etc etc). instead we're debating whether the president is allowed to do crime, etc. the road is long, the priorities many, and all the depressed, fucked up people are, simply, real.

especially here, as it's not like twitter where you can remove the @ originalposter. also, lol, if you're trying to pick a fight online and it's difficult to do respectfully, yes, "don't" is literally the absolute best advice. just forget it... no one dies lamenting that they didn't post enough.

A+ Bojack call out. OK jokes, dull premise (sad celeb), 80% recognition humor + family guy style "THEY CANT DO THAT!" but the nytimes liberal version (left"they get so DARK!" = fox"lol fart/racism"). dark is fine, but comedy series are hard to write, and they require better jokes or a real story)

the craziest thing is that fetishizing food culture in mainstream media was big like *10 years ago*. top chef, the various waves of the food network, this already happened. how long was The Bear a can't-miss prestige TV conceit before it finally took over memeland and vox/av club-likes?

stella had some really good, innovative qualities, but it (and the state) held up a lot worse than say KITH (or Monty Python for that matter). Its smart frat guy humor, where privilege is usually the core of the joke, but it's married with absurdity and some really excellent delivery. Still, eh...

I wish the mainstream journalism around it were better; specifically, I wish it was standard to prominently link to the decision in every article. Decisions are remarkably easy for "regular people" to read, and provide lots of insight into how US law and government work.

the first year of the pandemic sucked sooooo bad. I feel lonely expressing around people because so many are just ignoring and experiencing through art (as you're pointing out), either making or engaging. it's in my subconscious too, but it never really left the surface.

that headline is so, so depressing. "this thing we don't need oppresses several groups. but we can mitigate that probably." so ominous and horrible. "my flippant choice will hurt you. I'm confident I can make it hurt you a little less, though, eventually." just unbelievable. critical thought 😢

the best part of this movie is Julia Stiles's character, who appears to have literally no impact on the plot at all. "Also, this person. Okay, back to the action!" I'm fairly sure she's not even introduced in any way, as if numerous scenes have been cut.

like we enumerated forces the way we do due to bias as to where we are in the history of the universe (and how high energy is), but I can say this at all bc we overcome this bias with more observations and inferences about different states of the universe; we're not necessarily doomed to ignorance

if I understand the question, I think it's less "are we in a special place" and more "does the universe look weird bc we're in a place (and probably it looks weird from any other place, even though the universe isn't weird)." I think the answer is "we draw inferences from myriad perspectives so no"

it would be so amazing. they generate the energy to power it, but then it still doesn't fucking work because obviously that wasn't the problem. researchers have been explaining in detail what the problems were before the stuff was even deployed! come on........

again, i think *what you actually want* is not only reasonable, but probably should be a civil or human right. but it's definitely not something you can get by putting special classifications on algorithms or their deployment. there must be a better way in (e.g control over things you own full stop)

this isn't meant to be an insult of course. i'm fairly sure we want the same outcomes... it's just, it's quite nuanced what the machinery to get there would be. i'd love it if i could tell you what it ought to be, but i simply don't know. it's part of why i love reading experts about it.

the aim has to be clearly defined, then you need very experienced lawyers who also know about the tech to find the way in that doesn't over or underspecify. it's extremely interesting and almost never "but clearly they need to stop Xs from Ying." laws about algorithms as such are regulating math.

it's not "algorithms" that need to be regulated, but conduct. it's just normal ass law. if it's a 1A violation, it's probably *very bad* for common people. if it's corporate accountability, it needs to just be *normal ass law* with a foundation somewhere. it's not new cybertechnoalgorithm stuff.

the secret truth about "can't get laid!" is that most of the time the person who "can't get laid" wants something very specific, and more or less terrible. they haven't thought much about what "having sex" means, and they haven't thought much about why they want it. add entitlement, and 🚨🆘🚨🆘🚨🆘🚨🆘🚨

I feel like the progression of 1) not knowing these will be used by stalkers 2) learning that they of course will should lead to 3) needing an explanation for (1) and subsequently radicalizing oneself because how can you not know unless you don't want to? and if you don't want to, why not?
