This stuff is always so interesting to me because this is the part/step of solo game-development where people don't make too much content about it online, so you need to find books/scraps of content about rolling your own complex physics engine. It's all knowledge that's stuck in the industry/random github repos it seems.

When I was first engaging into web development a year ago, I was making forms that took addresses. From a C and C++ background, I kept asking, what if they lived in a specific country? How can I make my database truly safe? What is the best way to store all these addresses? I immediately gave up on that effort. Very impressive.

Especially when all of these language models have been built on and learned from said copyrighted content.

You're not wrong in any capacity. It's just bad and doesn't improve any "security" if that was intended.

I suddenly now imagine Zuck no differently from some of my unemployed friends.

I'm actually familiar with 4chan and lurked on it when I was underage at least daily. It was funny for the time.

I'm not sure where the idea comes from that the entire site's reputation is containerized inside /pol/ or any NSFW board. It's just misleading if you take 5 minutes to browse around (if you still can, anyway). The language and harassment used in ALL boards of any group of people or individual is disgusting.

Obviously those people will continue to think and exist the way they are. But we can't assume things will slowly start getting better if we continually allow increasingly racist "discourse" and misinformation in our society.

Yet another reason 4chan and its anonymity is a misinformation and propaganda warzone.

That is a completely separate problem, and it's dishonest making the comparison. Extremist right wing ideology and genocide is actively advocated on /pol/ as well as anti-Jewish rhetoric. Neo-nazism is not pointing out Israel's war crimes, and pointing out Israel's war crimes is not neo-nazism or anti-Jewish. /pol/ isn't antisemitic for Israel's genocide; they just hate Jewish people.

The Trump administration trying to deport people for doing so is also unjustified. People are freely criticizing Israel on other popular social media (notably TikTok and Instagram) without inciting a modern neo-nazi and right wing movement like what has happened on 4chan in the past 10 years.

That's fine, I don't really expect a 22 year old site with generational backup storage to actually go down forever. I'm 23, so I got them beat!

We've heard it time and time again that 4chan is the so called "last bastion of free speech on the internet" when this so called free speech is just being unapologetically racist and antisemitic. I hope its gone for good.

My understanding is that Biden was very concerned about his legacy and there are rumors about the "no daylight" phrase he spoke with Harris on her campaign and probably part of the reason she lost. But Biden should have dropped down much earlier and will taint his legacy forever. At least he passed the infrastructure bill.

It's impressive you're able to have decent results from free tiers and open source models.
