This slop is exactly what ChatGPT spits out when it's leading you down the hole of AI psychosis.

This is an apples-to-oranges comparison. Consider what a nuclear disaster (like Chernobyl) costs: the total price of that disaster is however many statistical lives are lost (look …

I do think nuclear power is safe; I don't think we should relax safety standards to deploy it – the rigor is required for a reason.

I've been noticing an uptick in these dumb attempts to convince the public that a little radiation is good for us. Just like PTFE, right? It's all about small doses. Works in Progr…

ITT: People who don't understand safety-critical systems telling people how to write safety-critical systems. The most popular answer in this thread is "you can only write safe C++…

I apologize if it appears I've stepped out of line, or if this thread has been difficult for you to moderate; that wasn't the intention. If you go back to my first comment on this …

See, this is exactly the problem I'm talking about. user11123 is being given a platform to spin the narrative and build negative sentiment – despite having exactly 10 karma – and I…

Did I say "regulating speech"? No. If we're going to try to have a cogent conversation, please stop putting words in my mouth. Free speech != the right to a platform, which is syno…

Okay, if you're going to be willfully obtuse about it, why don't you try to come up with a better solution? Because that's actually what I'm suggesting with literally all of my com…

Dude, nobody is arguing that we should ban digital communications at all. Take off the tinfoil hat, chicken little. What I'm suggesting is that if we are going to make PLATFORMS av…

Printing creates a barrier to entry. You have to have enough conviction in your idea and determination to actually write the statement, lay it out, and print and distribute it. You…

Speed and reach, my friend. Lynchings happened in the US a while ago, but they weren't a universal phenomenon. A platform with the speed and reach of WhatsApp makes disinformation …

You're not wrong – part of the blame obviously lies there. But even if it is simply enabling and perpetuating an existing problem, why haven't we asked ourselves why technology isn…

That's partially true – but end-to-end encryption is different than zero-knowledge. I design the latter. Although LifeHacker isn't a great source, they do a good job of pulling mor…

Yeah, definitely no advertising, particularly overseas, that could have contributed to WhatsApp's growth. No features added like large groups that could be used to spread disinform…

The platform is what spread those lies – without the platform, those lies wouldn't have had the reach they did.

That's the entire problem with this industry – we make the assumption that someone less ethical than us will come along and build the shitty product anyway, and use that as justifi…

I know this is going to be an inconvenient reminder for many folks, but: if you play any part in bringing software (or technology in general) into the world, you have an obligation…

It looks like Enigma dog-foods their own data infrastructure products (Concourse / Assembly?). The public data thing inspired them to build better tools for themselves and sell the…

Really awesome visualization, but I didn't read the text because the columns were insanely wide on my 24" monitor. Might want to constrain the width a bit, chaps.

Cool dude -- no worries; I'll just never hire you. Passion is really hard to fake and, frankly, I don't want to work with you if you don't have it.

Really nice interface. Could be a great way to discover interesting repos!
