I see a lot of similarities between "AI", as understood by business people, and the pursuit of alchemy and the philosophers stone. It seems like a hustle to separate rich dupes fro…

Yes, I agree with this. I think that governments should provide a verifiable digital ID the same way they provide physical IDs and that they should provide communications platforms…

Laws like this are long past due. This particular law may not be the best implementation but governments do need to take action to provide their citizens with a real public square …

The statute says "anything of value." Here the thing of value would be a person's contact list. The attempt to gain this thing of value through deceit (telling the person you are t…

Human cognition is riddled with exploitable defects. Biologically we are basically just highly pretentious and neurotic monkeys. All of human history is full of people looking for …

In the U.S. a large segment of the population (100M+) is told over-and-over again that they should rely on the expertise and charity of the elite in business and politics to take c…

the consumer is being lied to about who is serving their request and who is tracking their online activity as a result.

Profitable, but still only $40B in revenue compared to $126B for Version, and only $4B net profit compared to $30B for Verizon. Verizon's net profit is closer to T-Mobile's total r…

if they deny it the only possible reason is to f--k foreign (in particular german) companies to favor US ones. sprint is practically dead now and t-mobile is doing fine but they wo…
