If the layers of a stack have a disjoint set of reviewers things are viewed in separation which might lead to issues if there is no one reviewing the full picture.

They have some kind of story and buildup, the thrill of doing something morally objective, sometimes the "getting caught" aspect

... or so I have heard

Can confirm. We are required to test all of our stuff on a bench, but no one really trusts this, because everything is mocked anyway (RSI).

Once the new Poettering startup took off you won't get any choice. SCNR.

> Protect _Americans_ from mass surveillance > Protect _American_ forces

What the actual fuck. How can anyone side with Anthropic. They are not the good guys by any means whatsoever. Mass surveillance against anyone is wrong and having killbots "when AI is ready" is totally fucked and dystopian. Imagine killbots rampaging while the good American people are at home living a nice peaceful life. Fuck any of that, fuck Anthropic, fuck ClosedAI, fuck Google, fuck Trump, fuck the DoD and fuck every American who is patriotic to the monster their country became. Fuck every country that also tries to do stuff like this. Fuck all companies taking part in such insanity.

> ... 'The Left Hand of Darkness'

I read it last year. I found it to be quit boring and it also felt kinda "dated" in the sense that more recent SF is more space-y. However, the social constructs were well thought out.

Agree, that statement sounds a bit like gaslighting yourself

You are the only one commenting in bad faith, by refusing to understand/acknowledging that the people using Grok to create such pictures AND Grok are both part of the issue. It should not be possible to create nudes of minors via Grok. Full stop.

In a response Dalibor Topic claims that he rejected some of his submission have been rejected. So one of them is lying?

I agree with you - but considering what they want to implement and what it can be used for there are probably investors that might not want to be outed (this early). Kinda paranoid I admit, but history has shown that stuff like this WILL be misused.

Why have the responses to the post from the CEO been moved to their own top-level posts? Also, why are replies disabled for the CEO post?
