Most probably believe this is a good thing, but don't want to give Zuckerberg credit because a) he's had a profoundly negative impact on society and b) the strategy is transparent,…

Yep. Reminds me of Blackstone's ratio... It's not a simple cost-benefit situation, it's wrong on principle. The challenge is to find ways to catch criminals without trampling all o…

Great points and nice write-up. At the risk of sounding AI pilled, I find LLM's are fairly good sparring partners if you instruct them well. At least they're more capable of giving…
