Ah, makes sense. Thank you.

I don’t get “elbows up”?

These people are flooding free projects with shite code: they lack that level of self-awareness.

But you believe a formal declaration that they don’t want AI crap code will stop complaints from the degenerates who then try to sneak it in? Or the people who complain that they’re “needlessly denying good code”? People will always complain and argue.

I’m not awake enough (nor qualified enough) to get into “laws” and what they’re “actually for” but sufficed to say that I don’t think the analogy applies to a curated resource. Sure, it’s free but it does have an owner and you can’t stop the owner from doing what they want with it, including unilaterally canning random contributions. You just fork it.

Also lining up to take pictures and beg for a turn, if the preponderance of pedophiles in their leadership continues as a trend in the voters.

Is all AI code tagged “hey, Claude made this puddle of piss code”?

This is a real “just catch all the criminals” type comment.

A system that benefits people who lie about objective facts should be destroyed.

If the tactical business decision is to look someone in the face and say “spending 2/3rds of a day, 16 whole hours, idly gazing at photos of anything is not an addiction” in order to protect business interests, then things are wrong. Addiction to a product should be met with horror! Oh no, how could this happen? Instead, it’s part of the business model.

“Business” is a blight.

And who says it can’t be both?

I am judging…

Hot.

You can’t debate what is worth human effort without defining a human’s purpose.

And I don’t trust anybody who tries to tell me what humanity’s purpose is.

What? It’s a piece of fashion: it doesn’t need a “purpose”. You want to wear monocolor onesie jumpsuits everywhere?

I mean, there’s literally a job title called “investor”,

Why are we acting like investors are a good thing now? The platonic ideal of “an investor”, someone who seeds money and hovers hands-off to watch the investment grow, has been dead so long you could be forgiven for thinking it never even existed.

Maybe they don’t want a single revenue source to present undue influence on development. If their revenue is entirely supported by their premium model and they make a decision bad for the community, money dries up. You think Discord would be doing dumb shit like it is, if they weren’t floating off investors and whatever Palantir is throwing at them?

Of all the things to complain about, the fact that people can pay to have an animated avatar or screenshare in 4K (a resolution that a super-minority of people even have a monitor capable of rendering at) is baffling.

You need to define “social media” because earlier you named “email” and “zoom” as examples of social media, which sounds entirely wrong. Is talking to people face to face social media too? Have you just conflated “social media” with “communication”?

And then you say social helped researchers communicate when working on cures? You want to posit that Facebook or Twitter or Snapchat were vital pathways of communication for virologists collaborating on vaccines?

To me, this reinforces that Vance is ignoring reality, not ignorant of it, for political gain. Which is worse than being an idiot.

That implies he has retained any information about his children, which seems unlikely.

Hmm, try 5 more pre-toothpicks before the other 12 toothpicks…

Have you tried becoming hot before applying the toothpick?

I’ve heard that works.

I forgot about KEEMSTAR and how much of a tool he was (I’m hoping he’s passed).

“She’s the female version of Bill Cosby.” Quite explicitly didn’t rape anyone by having sex with people she drugged. So no. Not quite the same as the rapist Bill Cosby.

This is the answer. The core of all American-based French slander is badly-remembered WW2 anecdotes.

That is clearly not the reason.

I cannot stress how much these people should be made incompatible with leadership.

A criminal investigation in a thing that was plainly televised?? At fucking worst, you check existing laws about obscenity. What is there to investigate?

An unconscionable, baldfaced waste of time and resources for personal grievance.
