Unfortunately, it has such a limited release that most people who want to watch it outside North America won't be able to. No one has been able to explain why it has had such a limited release.

My comment won't be an exhaustive investigation into AI doomerism and why it's wrong and harmful, but I do want to just highlight one particular thread in all this, which is fear.

Human beings are addicted to it. And, unfortunately, it sells. It sells not just in politics, where in my country there is a surge of blaming the "other" (Russian disinfo ops, immigrants) for the slow decay of our lifestyles, it also sells in tech to otherwise smart people.

We'd all benefit from a little less fear, which shuts off our ability to reason. I'd so value more rational discourse that doesn't immediately veer into this extreme or that extreme. How can it be that we across the globe are so polarized, so incapable of having reasonable discourse that doesn't immediately result in wild-eyed proclamations of the total extinction of the human race or turning the "other side" into slavering devils who may as well be non-humans?

I mean people with tinnitus can choose to get angry about it or they can... change their attitude toward it.

I have it. I've changed my attitude toward it and made it my friend. I don't really know what else to tell you, but if you want to, the way is open for you. Or you can continue to see it as an aversive thing, and it will continue to be so.

> But it looks like your examples are all examples of people being mean, or disruptive, or trolling.

That doesn't and shouldn't matter. I don't want people getting arrested for doing any of these things, even if I disagree with them. Do you know how disruptive it is to your life, let alone your emotional health, to be arrested?

I'm also a Dane. Denmark is worlds worse than the US in free speech and it's getting worse. This applies across the EU where people like the Spanish prime minister thinks no one deserves anonymity on the internet.

EU countries are in many cases far stricter.

Protesting against the US government in the streets will not get you shot in daylight. Protesting against the Iran government in the streets will get you shot in daylight or, worse, publicly hung.

Being gay will get you executed in Iran. Being gay in the US will not.

There is no comparison. You are not being serious.

I just realized I completely missed the grammar on this one: I meant dads of millenials.

I agree this is a terrible loss. On the other hand, new dads are actually learning how to feel their feelings, communicate those feelings in a healthy way, and tell their children they love them.

Millennial dads were (mostly) a distant mess who for whatever reason saw the expression of feelings as "weak".

Because the EU as a whole is quite happy to censor and generally wield the same tricks as "non-Western" countries in their desires to combat misinformation (however our EU bureaucrats define it), child abuse materials (see Chat Control that thing is not going to go away), and hatred (oh boy).

We've never guaranteed the right to free speech and because we haven't it's a slippery slope all the way back down to the furnaces of autocracy we sprang from.

The Spanish president has come out on record saying we don't deserve anonymity on the internet.

Ah, interesting, thanks! I think you might consider elevating some of that kind of copy.

The sociotechnical stuff with System Initiative was made by your CEO? The guy who is really into music? And I don't even know how long that product was a thing before the pivot. Not long!

Man what the hell happened to System Initiative. It was a super weird pivot from sociotechnical proclamations to a tool I honestly have no idea what it does for me? Is it n8n for agents? Is it needed when I have a bunch of skills that approximate whatever swamp is trying to do? Who knows!

Why would anyone move to a closed-source tool like yours? It's 2026.

I mean, yes it is, but we all know what happens to these projects when their primary devs move on or get acquihired. Keybase, anyone?

Wow Cirrus was like the one cool CI thing with first-class Podman support. RIP. Guess I'm looking elsewhere (and not at Dagger which refuses to support rootless Podman).

You can just have your bot use Telegram topics for this.
