I'm curious why you think that "strongly suggests" anything?

worth looking into Camera Lucida by roland barthes, sontag's on photography and for something more recent, bernard stiegler's writings on cameras as technics if interested in some of the headier aspects of what cameras and photography do to culture and human relationships (as opposed to, say, legal implications). i tend to agree with the author: the presence of cameras in community spaces have completely ruined my relationship to those spaces. ive seen people here call the author a karen which, maybe, but the last time i went to a small DIY rock show in my community there were more people taking pictures than there were watching the show. what value is it if everyone films and uploads a set from a local band on youtube? what is the point?

weird to parlay someone making publicly available information known to those who you are asking money from into an accusation of wanting harm to come to your kids. least of all given that you harmed a kid. "nobody will employ me", well, probably because they have the benefit of the knowledge being shared here.

> paid for in abundance

its my opinion, shared by many in our society, that you did not pay for it "in abundance". in fact, harming a child incurs a debt that can never be truly "paid for". your reward for time served was to no longer be in jail, not to have your history erased.

Not disagreeing with the thrust of your post though I would take issue with it being both "strangely eloquent" and "utterly incomprehensible". It's just awkward writing... which, for a platform called WEIRD, is perhaps the point.

How else does an LLM distinguish what is widely known, given there are no statistics collected on the general populations awareness of any given celebrities vices? Robo-apologetics in full force here.

What are you, an LLM? Look at the results of the first twenty hits and come back, then tell me that they don't speak to that specific issue.

I mean, it is used as a substitution for 'Israel', but I don't see how that's a dogwhistle. Or do you mean antisemitic?

no, it says the opposite, that there is growing interest in bringing it back into curriculums in various states. but that's aside from the point that the smithsonian making a tutorial on reading cursive would just represent an additional resource, of which we are not lacking, to learn. whether or not we teach it is different, but finding a resource to learn is not hard.

i dont think the problem is the lack of resources to learn how to read and write cursive

> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

I obviously don't think the person I'm responding to works at Waymo. The person I'm responding to is making a baseless claim that this is a manufactured issue. How do you degrade a discussion that starts at the lowest possible place when the claim is "the vibes are off"
