I think you just described humans. WE are the danger to this world, and provide no value to it :)

No one eats viruses but quite a lot of species depend on mosquitoes to survive, or eat the mosquito-eaters to survive.
You don't have to kill any mosquitoes, just replace them with a genetically modified version that is resistant to parasites?

Quite a lot of animals feed on insects, and then some carnivores might feed on them.
If you overfish sardines, anything bigger than a sardine may also suffer a population decline, as it is a staple food for lots of yummy fish and also marine mammals..

I don't care, lets kill all mosquitos, all of them, each one. I would personally execute each one of them with a tiny guillotine. Set them up, let me press the button.

If you learn to touch type you can play games like this one https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.typing.com%2Fstudent...

WTF are you yapping about, who is endangering you? Fuck off you little bitch, motherfucking government loving piece of shit who should be treated as any other treasonous cunt. Government is the enemy of any person, if you are on the side of any government you are as well.

Nonsense, the very act of driving does not mean anything, you bought into this nonsense hook, line and sinker. Government shouldn't have any say over how we live our lives, how we drive on our streets, what apps we use, who we trade with.

The only one single, the only one maybe half reasonable thing for government to do is is protection against foreign attacks, that's it.

You are absolutely correct. It is disgusting to see so many people supporting any government intervention in our lives and this is just more of the same. People are supposed to be these automatons the government wants them to be so that they can be fined more and more often, controlled harder and harsher for normal human behavior, which is under a continuous attack by the goons, who have power and occupy government positions.

I've started leaving off the prepositions, pronouns and such from sentences, and my 'pro' writing is starting to look more like casual writing - more terse. "You've got to lean into it." becomes "Lean into it."

Or I'll just resort to what an idiotic feminist college English lit prof used to call "antiquated 19th century writing style": writing long, syntactically complex but linguistically communicative sentences which convey a complex yet nuanced thought, something AI will absently and superfluously munge.

Often these are interspersed.

In the long run, we'll lose out on more people being able to do the "hard" things. Sort of like when schools start hiring on non-excellence criteria, you end up with students who can't do the coursework and the field suffers as a result. That's what's happening here.

In 5, 10 years when people are like "we fucked up, quick, hire good developers again" - or good voice actors, or good whatever - there won't be anyone in line to take those jobs. They'll have moved on - either finding different things to pay their way, and are no longer looking, or they'll have fully checked out. Either way, they won't be looking for the jobs. You'll probably have a mess of H1B types take their role instead.

It's going to be a huge mess.

Is this software company, by coincidence, trying to be purchased or IPO? Because that's the kind of behavior that you see before a company's founders bank out...

Every single one of Amazon's hardware products is used to siphon your data and bilge pump ads and product placements to you.

You can argue that's true for all of Amazon's properties at this point.

They've become a behemoth of a company like Microsoft did in the 90s - starting in earnest about 2 years ago, based on what I've seen from those who work there. Their culture has changed and the leadership has all but abandoned the leadership principles.

This. You know a lot of tech from the 60s and 70s is still chugging along (I know a guy who makes more than I ever will because he know his way around VAX)

We already had Y2K. Seems dumb to create any so called standard limited to a 100 year lifespan.

Researchers warn... blah blah blah. It means they're looking for grant money most likely.

If the panic headline of the day was ever what it was said to be we would all be underwater right now, but that hasn't happened either, and we are well past that "researchers say" warned headline now.

Bunch of quacks

USSR used nuclear bombs all over the place https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.m.wikipedia.org%2Fwik... because the money was spent and now they just these bombs, how do they not use them as brute force solutions to every day problems? It seemed like a low effort, high reward way of accomplishing things where otherwise proper engineering and work would be required. It would also somewhat justify the insane expense on the nuclear program outside of the promise of total annihilation.

We moved from Ukraine to Russia, Yakitia in 1985 and lived there for 6 years before going back, We found out that a decade prior a nuclear bomb was blown up underground nearby and it didn't go well, a few thousand people decided to try and walk away from the town towards another town 500km away but they couldn't make it in that winter and came back. Winters there are dark (no Sun at all most of the time, you only see a glimpse of it for a couple of hours) and cold (-50C is normal, sometimes much lower than that).

USSR failed many times on many fronts, today criminal murderous morons want to reinstate it and so we have a war where thousands are dying daily and where the victims are getting blamed by the leaders of the most powerful country in the world for the perpetrators attacking them, that is after the victims gave away their nuclear arsenal to the perpetrators after the leaders of the most powerful country in the world promising that this very thing wouldn't happen, because the most powerful country in the world would prevent and or intervene.

So many failures on so many levels, people all around the world are learning lessons that a nuclear arsenal is a must.

Once many will have their nuclear arsenals, they too will use their nuclear bombs all over the place in futile attempts to reverse flow or rivers and for other similar reasons. Not looking forward to it.
