The reason they don't is because they've made their own version of the DMCA takedown system but my understanding is that that system/law gives the strongest liability safe harbor if the platform just takes things down in response to takedown requests without taking any steps to validate them. The weaselly lawyer approved version is to just let the claimant and the poster duke it out with counter responses etc and jus…

At the very least they could trigger a real qualified human review of it immediately.

Costs money. (Probably not a lot, but you know the drill: to a large company, any expense is treated as a threat, no matter how small.)

From https://x.com/ChainPatrol/status/1876456092164653328 "We found that this video was never reported in our system, and our system did not flag it. This false positive was due to human error, not bots or AI. One of our analysts, responsible for submitting takedowns, accidentally copied the wrong link while reporting a malicious video."

If you and your company are responsible for attempting to take legitimate things down either purposely or though incompetence, you should at least be publicly identifiable and accountable.

Imagination is an umbrella term that includes headcanon, but headcanon has a much more narrow and communicative meaning to do specifically with interpreting missing or ambiguous details in established fictional universes by fans or other people who aren't part of the creative team for that universe. Using the word that best fits the idea you're trying to communicate is good, actually. Also, while English does have re…

Nonsense. English is a beautiful language and adding junk words to it is unnecessary. Keep your headcannon and use your imagination.

No, what I'm saying is not only sensible, it's the agreed-upon view by people who actually study how language works. Did you think the idiomatic English you speak is unchanged from the very first language that ever referred to itself as English or are you falling prey to the idea that the things you're familiar and comfortable with are 'correct' and everything that came before you or will come after you is somehow 'incorrect'?

What part is zero-sum?

The part of the world economy that moves value from one person to another, without creating any value, is zero-sum.

That's not what zero-sum means

We all got a$$holes and opinions and most of them stink. You give me your stinky opinion saying mine stinks. Well, you're wrong of course. A claim to "evolution" meaning "change" is simply an excuse for anything. Evolution is about selection and I'm the big bad wolf eating your baby children: you go extinct. That's evolution , not some cheesy anything goes resignation.

"Other people can do what they want" is not an opinion, it's a fact of life. You can deal with it, or you can get so upset that you try to physically stop them. Is that something you want to do over the use of language? Evolution is not about "selection", you're referring to a biological concept known as natural selection . I'm sorry to tell you, the evolution of a system simply means the development of the system ov…

People cant do what they want. What planet are you on?

Laws, social norms, peer pressure, karma moderators are ALL telling you what to do.

The only reason "evolution" is thrown around is bc of natural selection. To use evolution as a term is to imply it.

And natural selection applies to cultures, behavior (see reinforcement learning, selection of responses by consequences) etc.

There is no freedom anywhere.

If I am not the boss of you, and you aren't the boss, then someone else is the boss of you. Did I miss something?

yeah - the need for a boss in the first place. there simply isn't one.

Bosses exist because they will themselves into it. Bosses aren't invented by rational necessity.

Bosses make themselves boss.

There's no need for anarchism either.

That's a ridiculous loophole to wonder about... but if it happens at scale and becomes a problem, then they could write another clause into the law.

Really? If I were rich, and in a hurry (as opposed to speeding for the thrill) it's exactly what I would do. How would you word this clause without people saying "I just hired him, I didn't tell him to speed"?

This is just not happening. Rich people aren't hiring people to speed drive them in their own cars.

If you're rich enough you don't need to hurry... And if you do, you take the private jet.

If zem and I were in a room by ourselves, I don't think either of us would try to be "boss". Only once someone who supports such power structures, such as yourself, enters the picture, do we have to start protecting ourselves against such people. Have you read Lord of the Flies?

> People cant do what they want. What planet are you on?

A planet where I can try to do anything I want, only stopped if what I am doing is being prevented by someone physically stopping me, such as an officer or concerned citizen. As per my post.

> Initially, the Latin word evolutio meant the unrolling of a scroll

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/evolution

> 2a: a process of change in a certain direction (unfolding)

Your claims are easily falsifiable. The modern use of "evolution" in biology evolved after the word was already in use to mean change. You have no authority to police the use of the word.
