I agree, but I'm not sure the person I'm responding to would. I cannot imagine how anyone could describe today's internet as healthy.

What about the internet today is healthy such that anyone could point to Section 230 as the reason why?

It's not sneering. Anthropic constantly puts itself out as some sort of moral arbiter when they are no different from any other business, as your quote suggests.

Yeah, and that's why they got of rid of their commitment to safety so they can stay cutting edge?

Okay? They're exactly the assholes everyone says they are. That's the point.

>For example it sure seems like his mountain of circumstantial evidence fits better with the theory that “Satoshi” could be a pen name for a small group of people—maybe even the small group whose history he traces and whose styles he has trouble teasing apart—rather than one “suspect” (as he calls it). But we don’t even really weigh that possibility seriously.

Does it? I didn't come to that conclusion. Do share!

>So, like—why are we coming at this one guy by name and spooky hacker photo in the New York Times, with the suggestion that he has $110 billion under his mattress? All these speculations and arguments have been done over and over—what does this reporting add that’s worth 12,000 words?

Well, they identified this guy and the reporting here is better than the others I've seen in the past. This article obviously has nothing to do with what past writers wrote, so I don't really get the point of pretending like it all comes from one place.

>The colorful journey down a dead end, fine—but leave it at “My Quest,” don’t do the weasel subhed “the trail of clues […] led to Adam Back” to insinuate that it proved what it set out to prove. Or even added anything significant to the well-trodden record.

Yawn

So it's just a coincidence that they can't edit user records? They can't get another agent to fix that, even?

That's called ear training and it's crucial. I don't think all ways one can play and call it "practice" are equal

If it is a regular practice of such doctors to use such tools, and that doctor did not, then it is malpractice. That is how malpractice works. You have to fall below the standard of care in a way that proximately caused the damages.

>If hospitals are so concerned about cutting costs, getting sued is probably worse.

That hasn't stopped them any other time they cut costs. Have you ever spoken to a nurse who works in a hospital?

I already explained that they need to hire human monitors.

They need to hire a sufficient amount of human monitors, I don't think it's that complicated at all. And people have to spend that energy because Roblox keeps connecting children with pedophiles.

> All while despite the legal limitations, Roblox already has implemented changes far above and beyond what's required, while the problem still doesn't go away for a very specific reason of it not occuring on Roblox.

I keep seeing people write this almost verbatim all over this thread.

> There isn't any similarly concrete evidence to claim that Roblox directly facilitates links between child sexual abusers and children, so the difference between opinion and fact from that side of the argument is moot

You're kidding right?

>If being more open and public correlates strongly enough with "links pedophiles with children", then yeah, true. I expect Roblox to do plenty to improve its platform safety with their track record. The recent introduction of their ID verification system to prevent communication between users outside of specified age buckets, solely in the context of improving child safety, is working and significantly reducing cases of child exploitation both on and off of the platform.

What are you, their PR agent?

>I don't agree that it facilitates this kind of behaviour.

It doesn't really matter if you agree that it does. It is a fact that it does.
