"No was was harmed, no one was threatened, nothing happened.
This is some crazy big brother shit that should not happen"

Are you on the bad drugs? You just said nothing happened, then you said it shouldn't have happened. Well, it didn't. Why aren't you happy?

Yes, they are both bad and addictive.

Never too soon to point out that someone who doesn't respect choices in one area surely doesn't respect them in others.

Try learning to read. There were important parts in there you missed.

They aren't writing it, Claude is.

The AI isn't thinking. It's just predicting what looks most like it fits, when the choice is diddled with random numbers. That's the difference: humans are doing something more profound than rolling a die to decide which of the possible next things should actually come next.

Jerking off is a better use of time than this, especially once you know this is his third attempt.

Doing it right is asking whether you want it installed, not forcing it on you.

Were you in a frat at Cornell or what?

What a fucking lame ass pack of bullshit false equivalences between the bullshit things that aren't happening that you're scared of and actual things that matter.

We know what he said. He said that we had to accept some gun deaths so we could have the second amendment. He also said "gurgle" and "ack" when that came home. Literally nothing else he said on the subject is of any interest.

Some of us are smart enough to see what he is from his actions and public statements. He's not trying to hide what he is, or if he is, he's such an alien that he has no idea what that entails.

Same. When I install Linux I do a minimal install and then add only what I want. I am usually doing something weird on install so this is frequently the only way that makes sense.

The headline is reasonable if we all agree that AI gives us something worth the down sides. We do not.

Few outside the billionaires of Silicon Valley actually believe the hype. The average Joe is largely annoyed when their favorite productivity tools suddenly have "Smarter Clippy" shoehorned in. Or talk with some of AI's heaviest users (programmers) and you'll hear a pretty common theme: "Wow, Claude makes it easy to hit my Q3 targets, bummer it's going to put us all out of work (or far, far worse) five years from now."

Free software isn't about killing kittens, it's about the users of the kitten killing software.

Linus' pragmatism about licenses is misplaced because Linux would not have succeeded under a different license.

True. We should have hanged every last slave owner. Those would have been ends worth fighting for.
