Apparently I missed the end of a sentence near the end there. "But because" on the fourth paragraph is supposed to be "but because the sales pitch is that the machine can replace m…

I mean, fair. It's true that humans aren't that great at writing code that can't be exploited, and the blogpost makes this point too: between a junior engineer's output and an LLM'…

Throwing my two cents in here...I think there's a disconnect between what AI advocates want, and what everyone else wants. The arguments against genAI tend to point out things like…

What if the employer was charged a subscription fee, instead of waiting until they find a hire to charge? Then the incentive is for the company to find a hire quickly, since they'r…

Not to mention the influence of companies like Intuit, which has been pushing against convenience in tax filing for decades because its entire business model relies on people being…

But we're not talking about an insolvent renter, we're talking about a renter who's making their payments. A renter who makes payments every month at 2500 can, and regularly is , n…

The problem isn't that the cost of renting is higher than the cost of mortgaging, the problem is that banks treat people who have to make a $2,500 monthly payment to live decently …

"Non-profit" also does not imply that money isn't coming in from donations, grants, or fees.

Doesn't he cite several solutions that already exist and have been demonstrated? For instance, he cites voting systems that have already been implemented in two US states, as well …

It's not that it costs too much money, in many cases. The money's there. The problem is that the solution is not profitable compared to other actions, which is a different thing en…

You seem to be under the impression that gay people don't get married.

> This sexual behaviour statistically does not create STD spread, because of negative feedback... You know that it's possible to infect someone while also impregnating them, right?…

Using punishments and taboos to control these things does not work. You're not incentivizing 'good behavior', you're incentivizing not getting caught --not to mention that, inevita…

You realize this is the exact opposite of what happened, right? Governments and churches were very firmly convinced at the start of the AIDS epidemic that it was exclusively a thin…

Ah, my bad. It was linked to me without context. I hope the links I cited were useful, anyway.

> Get a job... Actually, this doesn't work. Many people who are homeless--and thus, constantly committing small 'crimes' like loitering--actually have jobs. According to recent sta…

I feel like having video evidence of a police officer doing something they really shouldn't is neither "mild" nor "disrespect" (although, I guess you could argue that I rapidly sto…

Basically everyone I work with right now is a furry and I met them all through a discord server for fans of MLP who also like compsci. Being a furry has been more effective for my …
