Get WordStar

I am also rittarded

They pay for market research

They get you coming and going!

The reef is made of negative space

Who would you throw them at

Idunno, they seem like they’d be perpetual rotten fruit magnets. Like you’d have to hose them down a lot

I actually don’t hate to see it

I prefer that the benefits of those things accrue to me, or to others, or to no one, in accordance with my choice.

In this way, I would decide who gains the economic or social benefits of these activities of mine; and I also, in the case of personal data, would decide who gets to make my business, their business.

By giving us the choice of whether someone else should profit by our data.

Same as I don’t want someone looking over my shoulder and copying off my test answers.

I thought Trump fired most of them

I like AI, sort of. But this is ghoulish.

Couldn’t they have used ai to figure out how to make the settings less obscure instead.

That’s a shadowban

That can be defeated with abliteration, but I can only see it as an unfortunate outcome.

What do you mean

Inescapable consequences of letting zero-integrity optimization machines (psychopaths) run companies like this.

Of course they do this, what else are they supposed to do? It’s their nature. Expecting otherwise is idiotic.

Getting outraged by this is like getting mad at the sun for rising. But if the legal system displays this absurd sham outrage, everyone will continue to be distracted from the actual problem, which is that society has no mechanism for intercepting these individuals and keeping them away from roles where they will obviously do things like this, because of course they will.

This is permitted constantly, we keep obtaining the same result constantly, all while the people who supposedly safeguard society gape and scratch their heads like orangutans. They are utterly taken aback that allowing the same transparently stupid situation doesn’t magically start working, providing an object lesson in the meaning of stupidity itself.

That’s not true at all. Notch valued having a candy wall, and he made good on it.
