Language models are going to make this problem way, way worse


When the bourgeoisie is in the drivers seat of your government, their interests come first.


Turns out buckets of money speak the loudest. It's wildly disenfranchising when things like the wife of a supreme court justice getting paid $10M by law firms who have cases in front of the court don't go severely punished.


With so much money being pedaled to politician via lobbyist etc, it's impossible not to have a "bourgeoisie" in there.


I mean, what are said documentaries about the nazis like? Are they presenting an uncritical viewpoint? I don't think I've ever seen a documentary about the nazis not include the context of all the horrible shit they did


Not OP. They're pushing an agenda is the general criticism. E.g. I'm all for them not excluding minorities. If the show does good, it does good. It's a universal unassailable good/win. But when they want to enforce quotas and promoting DEI content synthetically and unnaturally, then they've crossed a line.


And there it is. Lemme guess, you lost your shit when LOTR included a black elf, right?

What sort of agenda are you referring to?


Fun fact: there is no legal precedent in the US that states that clean room RE is required to avoid copyright infringement. It’s just been assumed.


John Carmack has talked about how much they liked the mods for wolf3d and intentionally designed WAD loading to make it easy to mod.


Sure, Jan.


Change logs wouldn’t have helped here, this behavior change was undocumented.


IMO the Android team should have realized the Android team was not creating internal libraries at a sufficient level of stability and change tracking for the Android team. This quickly gets into cultural priorities that I have very little context on - but I do think that processes failed here.


“You’d shoot a man in the back?”

“Well, it’s the safest way, isn’t it?”


Always has been...


To shoot someone in the back, first you have to get behind them.


Well, it's easy when they blindly rush forward without checking for a looney-tunes looking cliff...

See [1] for example, where Hindenburg was able to acquire a debit card for "Donald Trump" with a fake ID.
