But see you're making up reasons that are separate rationalizations. Which just proves the guys point, that even you don't think what you're doing is reasonable without some superfluous reason

It easily goes both ways. But we do sue American gun makers for deaths caused by lunatics. We sue drug makers for drugs prescribed by a doctor. We sue cloud providers for not reporting illegal photos. Printers are forced to id every printed page to combat counterfeiting. Banks are forced to do close accounts even though it's not their dirty money

They've been on HN, but that's the author's point. Even this article on HN- the top comment is a series of complaints about "hurr durr ai needs to get off muh lawn"

The point is that the people, who self-identify as the ones the author is supposedly asking for help, are the ones who are refusing to acknowledge the elephant in the room so they can feel smug. Just like your "but i read about every incident mentioned, where's my cookie"

The irony of calling yourself a hacker while complaining about new words being cringe when hacker is the epitome and grandfather of all cringe names in this domain.

Cyber expands way past infosec. And that's the crux of the problem with the complainers these days. You don't understand the full picture. You've convinced yourself you do. And so you tilt at windmills like an idiot.

Imagine being the Pope and having someone ask if you're afraid of anyone in the White House and trying to give a straight faced answer

At no point does anthropic imply this tool is becoming self aware. You can read the paper yourself of course, but then you wouldn't be able to invent this story

Now you say that and it's an interesting assertion. The Chinese certainly will tell you that they are in a war. And will also say that America is in a war.

Americans a few years ago defined a "continuum of conflict" consisting of competition, crisis, and conflict (sometimes you see cooperation). America will tell you that we are in competition with China, which is a type of conflict.

I don't think you can not address it "generationally" The people who voted are absolutely getting what they voted for. None of this was not predicted before and during the election. I remember reading years ago that Trump wanted his second term to do the wanton things he couldn't before (like bludgeoning countries with the military). It was all out there.

It's past time to stop blaming a few warhawks "over there" Voters did this. Voters need to fix it

This is incredibly out of touch. No teacher or even school administrator needs to have that said to them. Students refuse to hear it (despite the bleating of the article). Who are you talking to then? Parents? That's rich

The overwhelming majority of registrations are automatic through drivers licensing. It's well proven that a significant portion of men who are registered don't even know there is selective service

I love the goal post shifting. All modern code is ai slop right? Isn't the whole point we hate ai bc it generates vulnerable slop?

Nope, not allowed to attack bsd code, it's gotta be electron-shit #9001 or we can't trust it

If different people are allowed to have different experiences why are you only getting one set of experiences be controlling?
