Lately, since I've pretty much blocked most media companies in /etc/hosts, I've been enjoying reading the pre-2015 from archive.org. Although, I do have some grief, I guess I'm ok with being the last analog generation; it's not my world anymore.

I like how they try to frame Trump as "the one man", completely ignoring his cabinet, Thiel, Kushner, Musk, the Heritage Foundation, the media empires backing him, the crypto industry, the defense industry, domestic surveillance industry - not to mention all of the Epstein accomplices

hmm, ok. kind of odd to put yourself out there for so many years, then be willing to die on this issue, given the political state of things. but, you be you

Edit: I can't respond to your reply, but my original question was why is it so important to you, and you didn't answer. But, I guess I'll go back through your comments to find out. Us 'passive observers' are just trying to figure out who's on which team. Feel free to ignore us. No offense intended

You’ve been an ‘influencer’ here for 25 years. Why so defensive?

I mean as a passive observer it’s a little weird. You’re HN celebrity, aren’t you? It’s definitely an anomaly

Why is this so important to you that you’re willing to destroy your reputation over it?

Bayesian statistics and rounding up? Certainly that can't be the thing that's wrong with the world.

Google AI says most of them are funded by Israel. Is that true?

There was a thing from the 90s kind of like this called Third Voice. It was a cool idea, but I remember there being a lot of backlash from brands.

As far as conspiracies go, the media seems to be working extra to bury this one.

Github / Microsoft could easily fix this, couldn't they? Leaving NPM up in its current state seems criminal, especially since LLMs generate NPM commands so frequently.

Language models manipulating their own internal states

Anyone can call themselves a Christian. One can only tell a true Christian by their fruits. (e.g. love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, and many others)

You seem pretty upset. But, rest assured that I'm not your problem. And, the Gospel has nothing to do with any of that. True followers of Jesus Christ are just here to love Jesus and love those around them.

Anyone can call themselves a Christian. In fact, the bible repeatedly warns about this, and instructs us to test everything. It says one can only discern a true follower of Jesus by their fruits and the company they keep.

Actually, when you talk to a lot of "Christians", you'll find that most don't know the bible, and many worship something else that they picked up from tv, usually Judaism (i.e. do they mention the 10 commandments?).

That's really interesting. I am an Evangelical, and no one that I know supports Israel. Could it be something else?

I would hypothesize deeper societal structure causes both equality and gender differences.
