Dude, never change. Your insane rants are part of the reason I love /. comments.

First, this so-called expert’s scholarship and credentials are lacking, and her claims of death threats sound all too familiar. Amazing how every time someone gets caught with their hand in the DEI cookie jar, they immediately cry death threat. Second, there are many people who will use this as an excuse to treat her poorly. Don’t do that either. Just ignore her stupidity and move on.

You may not know this, but Japan was closed to immigrants for many hundreds of years. The few people who did live in Japan as foreigners were confined to coastal cities, and even to specific zones within those cities.

This is an obvious win. Why did it take so long?

MDS is poisonous. Go outside, touch grass.

Tell me you have an irrational hatred of Elon Musk, without telling me you have an irrational hatred of Elon Musk.

At the time I’m reading your comment, you are down voted to -1, yet I think you are delivering tomorrow’s news today. Whether people like it or not DEI is a failed racist policy that has played itself out. Amazon just has too much money to realize it yet.

First, I like the idea that the Fediverse is growing, and an open source alternative is being promulgated. This fact makes me more likely to join.

Second, a lot of the Fediverse is filled with self righteous hard left Twitter refugees who are mad about free speech. This fact makes me less likely to join.

That is laughably naive. SOMEONE ALWAYS PAYS. Usually us.

Seriously though, the level of progress is stagnating for all the AI makers, but their grand promises show no signs of slowing.

Your conception of 'decent human being' is built on 2000 years of Christianity. If you go other places in the world, it is vanishingly rare.
