What a boner of a comment. We get it, George, you don't watch pornography. Well done on managing your personal brand I guess? FYI there's nothing inherently wrong about porn or sex…

I think this is a pro-Amazon piece disguised as an anti-Amazon piece. Like, the author comes across as so inept and unlikable, and Amazon so reasonable, that I strongly suspect tha…

I don't mean to blow your mind, but humans are a part of nature. One advantage we have over other species is that we can spot patterns and work collectively to fix undesirable situ…

So you think that if you wanted to start a business to compete with Apple in any of the spaces talked about in this lawsuit (hardware, web browsing, messaging etc) your greatest ch…

> On the other side we see politicians - bureaucrats that never built anything in their lives. Parasites living off our work. Greedier and greedier every year they forcefully confi…

> Buybacks are a favorite boogeyman, but they are just tax efficient dividends. "Tax-efficient" is weasel language. If the money was spent as dividends it would be taxed and then w…

For context, it looks like this user has deleted a comment where they claim they "have a screenshot" of this, but they "don't want to share it" because they "don't want it to make …

Considering that several people have tried and failed to reproduce this, and there's a warning at the top of the shared conversations about the creator's Custom Instructions, and t…

> I don't want to feel like a fool for sticking with and supporting this woman from 40-70, when she was giving it up easily at 18-30 jesus

Yes, this is such a fool's errand. When GPT-4 was first released I started using it as a creative writing aid, and had a wonderful couple of months with it. Yesterday I finally can…

4chan isn't a village, though, not in the way the author describes. Important characteristics of a "village" as defined in this piece are that you can develop systems of trust thro…

The Fed is not a single guy. Do you think it's a single guy? Are you just parroting something you heard somewhere else without understanding it?

I've read some of CS Lewis' writings on religion. I'm an atheist married to a person of faith, so I'm interested in what the people I love find so compelling about their faith. He'…

It was very reasonable to imagine that if the API ever stopped being free, that the logical next step would be "paid access" rather than "no access". And that if Twitter was going …

It sounds like you haven't really watched the show. Which is fine, but your criticisms assume too much and miss the mark. For example, this: > And then they try to paint Don as thi…

He's also been exposed as having sent sexually explicit DMs to minors, which started to come to light after the lawsuit was filed. It was probably that, more than/in addition to th…

Your statement upthread, which I replied to: > Most poor people are children under 18. I guess technically, you can work at 16, so some of them probably dropped out and work full-t…

Hi! I worked for a nonprofit poverty advocacy center in Chicago. This is totally wrong, but it's stated so confidently. Why do you say this? What's the source you got this opinion …
