This is such a good point that I hadn't even realized til just now. I'm a pretty tech-savvy user and was never able to really figure out how it worked, or at least how to make it work for me. Can't imagine the average user's experience!

I hate it when ads try to stop me from accidentally killing my baby

Isn't this something that technically already exists? It seems to me the government is demanding thst browsers have that capability; not that the companies would have to use that feature. But (1) it may actually not be technically possible right now? Or (2) the wording is confusing enough that it is essentially forcing the use, not just "having the ability"

Amongst "children", no. If for an adult, yes...

The post concludes that promoting LSD through anecdotal evidence is "harmful" and "naive" while condemning LSD through anecdotal evidence. I've had good experiences with hallucinogenics and think they're a societal net-positive, but if this post was promoting LSD based on a good trip with good results, it'd be equally bad. Maybe even more so.

It's just that doesn't even make any sense :(

While true that all countries had conflicts, most (maybe all?) of the developed world was never pillaged to the extent Africa and South America were. Not to mention a lot of the conflicts between those nations happened "voluntarily" between the fighting countries.

Africa especially, the current country borders were designed based on the division of property between all the European countries invading the natives' lands. That meant several tribes and groups were divided/grouped together, leading to wars that hold to this day. If I'm not mistaken the Rwanda Massacre is the major example of that coming to fruit

At that point we're back to the fact that humans make mistakes, so the AI is irrelevant. Had they not used AI, they could still make mistakes that look correct, even to experts

Had they described it that way, DALL-E would have received way more criticism.

Lecun and his team and/or Meta did a terrible job in managing the users' expectations

Is there evidence that "piracy corrodes the free market"?

The fact Elon paid 44b for it doesn't say anything about Twitter's actual value.

You seem to be out of touch with what the non-technical web users. Practically none will read and implement the stuff in their documentation in 10 minutes.

Even if some do, most of those will run into a tiny random roadblock and will give up.

Nothing as "techy" as Mastodon or the one you mentioned will be adopted at the scale of Twitter.
