The scale at which LLMs can do this and how convincing they can be means it can potentially be a much bigger problem. We won't keep the bottle corked forever though. It's like we'r…

Capitalism doesn't have desires outside of those of the people who participate in it that hold the most power. The desire of those people is more power. Not resource allocation as …

This claim is baffling to me. Are you saying without state intervention Amazon wouldn't just buy out every potential competitor or drive them out of business using currently regula…

They do mention monetary policy. Is there something specific about monetary policy that you believe contributed to rising inflation? I don't know if they're suggesting that corpora…

Just need to mention that Echidnas and Platypuses are also mammals and they lay eggs.

> Companies want to grow and compete, and that's good, since it's resulted in literally all human progress I'm sorry to go in a tangeant here, but, what? That's an incredibly stran…

Could someone explain how this "breaking" works?

I mean the line needs to be drawn somewhere, right? It's not that a band isn't "metal enough", it's just that they have a bunch of rules interpreted by mods and if it doesn't fit t…

I wouldn't take that list too seriously. Metal-archives genres tend to not delve into "styles" as much. But there are certainly many distinct sub-genres and one can't exactly argue…

If there is anything like the Metal Archives for electronic music or rock music (actually any genre) out there, I'd like to know about it. It's simply the greatest music encycloped…

I'm sorry but your answer to Q1 is extremely naive. There is no way that activity from renters will even remotely approach the power of those who own property in politics. The latt…

It seems to me that the first two are statements, and the final one is a conclusion, which is the only one that's productive to focus on.

London != Europe

Hi, thanks for the offer, I caved and provided Dropbox support with a copy of my passport and that seemed to be enough to resolve the issue (I hope, I really really hope). If you w…

Does the law also state that you can't fix the date afterwards, or that once entered verification is required? It's a paid account, they've already got my credit card details. And …

I don't think this holds true as generally as might seem obvious. Personally I become much more productive and much more creative when I have serious pressure on me. I think art hi…

Dropbox released a "user age verification feature" today, which is a simple set of drop downs for you to fill in your birth date. I made the mistake of choosing "2022" as my year o…

Prot is one of the most well spoken, humble, deliberate and wholesome people I've ever come across. Absolutely crazy to think that he came to Emacs and Lisp without any technical b…

How are the devtools in Brave?

Or you could catch a hint and let go of the discussion of a product you deem potentially "worthless".

In what way was the group "Marxist"? Are you trying to say they hired the entirety of a workers co-op?

Traditional currencies aren't advertised as being decentralised.

What the hell: boom, bang, kaboom, ahoy, yippee ki yay.
