Firefox already exists, and for all its flaws it is both free and open source.

what a surprise. Written by AI.

The original quote was supposedly Bill Gates saying that "640kb of memory should be enough for anyone". The quote became famous because it's a failure to imagine that people would …

I agree that privacy is not always a force for good. I think that when we remove privacy we normally lose much more than we gain. People easily focus on negative consequences of pr…

It's not cowardice. It's a standard defence against tyranny. Governments can change quickly so even if you think your present government is democratic and healthy it still pays to …

squint your eyes and it becomes easy to read the "hidden" message.

Your assumption that "criminals" are doing something morally wrong is fundamentally flawed. Civil rights activists were criminals, as were suffragettes, and the people who protecte…

So long as you don't try to go without any kind of copyright. I've heard stories of people releasing their music for free with no copyright only for somebody to download it, regist…

It's more like. "This is significantly more complicated and expensive than the obvious simple solution we already have". The same money that is being spent on this project could in…

It is the real world in many places. "Criminals" are not a homogenous group. Petty criminals will not usually be making the effort to get a gun if getting a gun is inconvenient. So…

What makes you think it would need humans to collaborate with it or that they would refuse? Robotics exist and are improving and humans are actively trying to collaborate with AI t…

> Yes - how exactly are you going to conjure new data to increase the model’s real world fidelity? Robotics and access to surveillance tech. There's an unlimited amount of real wor…

What plug? There's no centralised place where all the server farms are. They exist in multiple countries with different laws, controlled by multiple companies with different polici…

If they are set up that way yes they can continue indefinitely. Why would they not be able to do this? Take a look at the experiment called the AI village. https://theaidigest.org/…

A need does not get filled simply because it exists. If society is no longer necessary and participating within the economy then society can't provide a safety net for kids. It's l…

The problem is it isn't really people doing that. All it takes is one person to set the process running and forget about it. Soon enough all exploitable systems are exploited if th…

enclose.horse is somewhat popular and successful, posted here on hacker news a while ago.

Healing probably is the wrong analogy. Is a person with a crutch healed? No. But they can walk, when before they could not. Therapy can't erase the past, but it can give people too…

This was my experience with linux the first times I used it years ago when I lived in a different state, but I tried it last year and it's night and day. Kubuntu (Ubuntu with the K…

> To return the gesture of good will, I have started archiving ... Oh that part does seem wacko. There's no "good will" to be returned, and no overall strategy as such. I didn't ca…

It isn't entirely independent tho. This person who did some research into it says: "The strongest predictors for who this happens to appear to be: Psychedelics and heavy weed usage…

That would be a false equivalence not a false dichotomy. You believe they are different and you're annoyed that people are treating them like the same. Additionally it isn't beside…
