Why is the headline blaming the OS for what the user chose to do? This is like saying it's my car's fault if I decided to drive onto the sidewalk or something.

That might take a while for the necessary changes to cultural norms to set in, and I'd think it would get a bit spicy in the meantime.

It's not formal institutions, it's the hate mob. And for things that might seriously attract the ire of people who consider political violence a positive good, there's always TOR.

Even if this was going to hold up, it wouldn't make the policies that Lamarck's ideas were designed to promote work. We already empirically know they don't work.

This sort of thing is always a call for generational guilt and reparations.

The writing style would seem to suggest that the lack of sleep has been having more effects than reported.

The site got to be a pain to try to participate in long before modern AI came around.

That seems a rather different sort of declaration though? "I did not participate in this harm" vs "I will not speak against this group".
