It served the same purpose every protest has for the last 2 decades, i.e. made the protesters feel so good about themselves for an hour.

That’s something I applaud the younger generations for. I’m just hoping that it’s not due to not socializing in person.

Were they in China when they did that?

I don’t really trust it to be much better at respecting privacy than YouTube

Why would you trust it to be any better at respecting privacy?

They’re already dumber than the older generations, but hey, we can make the problem even worse. Why not.

I’m gonna have to work until I’m 110 years old probably just to keep the following generations fed and clothed… and I bet at least one of you morons will think “it’s the billionaires’ fault”. Try to actually read a real book.

Wrong. Correct answer is D.

Implies that people are largely still pretty incompetent with it. The pioneers have a lot to win.

Bluesky is pretty weird in its own way. It’s full of really irritating leftist politics plus a lot of unsolicited porn.

Nothing happens in Mastodon.

Twitter seems to be the only place that has anything going on in that style of social media.

I got exactly this in a Dream Theater concert after listening to all their albums a lot.

I’m gonna go ahead and assume that Doctorow’s actual stance isn’t as idiotic as the title suggests.

Haha, that’s either horrible if you don’t know what you just did there or brilliant parody if you did.

This may shock you, but if you think like this, you might be a hardcore leftist.

Also, I’m reminded of the Ghostbusters (1984) quote:

Dr. Raymond Stantz: Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities, we didn’t have to produce anything! You’ve never been out of college! You don’t know what it’s like out there! I’ve WORKED in the private sector. They expect results.

~25 years here and I started getting bored about 15 years ago.

If you still have a working memory, you remember doing weirder shit than AI can ever dream of. Every one of us was a junior at some point. And judging by the comments here, most here still are.

So what exactly is he wrong about in here? Are you people running your agents without guardrails and constraints?

People aren’t calling each other stupid

Uhh, what? Did you even read the comments on this very post?

Consider the possibility that you’re in a bubble made out of titanium when you’re here.

Don’t like someone’s opinion? Get into arguments with strangers online about it. Change their minds. Or don’t. That’s up to you. But structural silencing and obscuring of voices and communities isnt the way.

Except for the fact that your time and attention are the most precious resources of your life, and you don’t owe them to anybody, least of all the worst assholes of this place.
