nobody can expect malintent from a british gentleman's or lady's accent

I already don't use airbnb but booking.com? Almost all holidays. That would be really hard to replace. Does anyone have any alternatives (other than directly calling the hotels obv)? I guess one could atleast minimally search from booking.com and then first check if the hotels you are interested in have their own online reservation systems. But it will probably be much less guaranteed than booking.com and one could easily end up with a holiday ruined and a mere apology for "making a reservation mistake"

take a chill pill

I would find it hard to believe if Jessica Rabbit wasn't somewhere there, probably 6? Although the hair style doesn't quite match.

It is indeed a complicated problem with many intertwined variables, wouldn't wanna be in the shoes of policy makers (assuming that they actually are searching for an honest solution and not trying to turn this into profit lol).

For instance too much regulation on fields like this essentially would kill high quality open source AI tools and make most of them proprietary software leaving the field in the mercy of tech monopolies. This is probably what these monopolies want and they will surely try to push things this way to kill competition (talk about capitalism spurring competition and innovation!). They might even don the cloak of some of these bad actors to speed up the process. Given the possible application range of AI, this is probably even more dangerous than flooding the internet with revenge porn.

%100 freedom, no regulations will essentially lead to a mixed situation of creative and possibly ground breaking uses of the tech vs many bad actors using the tech for things like scamming, disinformation etc. how it will balance out on the long run is probably very hard to predict.

I think two things are clear, 1-both extremities are not ideal, 2- between the two extremities %100 freedom is still the better option (the former just exchanges many small bad actors for a couple giant bad actors and chokes any possible good outcomes).

Based on these starting with a solution closer to the "freedom edge" and improving it step by step based on results is probably the most sensible approach.

Fair enough, I agree it is common to go for more authoritative figures during times of stress. Which also creates incentive for authoritative figures to keep the stress factors going. But I think there is also some innate desire in humans to worship powerful figures.

thanks I will let the mathematics community know

Is the Riemann Hypothesis true or false?

I guess the point is this enables the mass production of revenge porn essentially at a person on the street level which makes it much harder to punish and prevent distribution. when it is relatively few sources that produces the unwanted product then only punishing the distribution might be a viable method. But when the production method becomes available to the masses then the only feasible control mechanism is to try to regulate the production method. It is all a matter of where is the most efficient position to put the bottle neck.

For instance when 3D printing allows people to produce automatic rifles in their homes "saying civil use of automatic rifles is illegal so that is fine" is useless.

I don't know if this is real but if it is, this method of forced watching something you are not interested in guarantees to create negative emotions towards that brand.

I also feel like there is always a constant portion of people who worship power and think they can squeeze a decent life out of siding with the powerful. So if there ever is any war, it definitely won't be a clear cut class war. And the billionaires will do everything in their power to make sure the war happens within the classes first.

this is gonna take rule 34 to a whole another level

it fulfilled its name mandate %100

this is the correct direction that conversation should have evolved to

Choosing egg prices as your campaign slogan during an H5 endemic was already a pretty bad move and then you topped it with tariffs lol

mom can we adopt a lab grown black hole?

please do. people should keep reminding this in social media platforms and everywhere else until he has no choice but to do it

and then %90 of the democrats and %100 republicans will vote no. at least it serves the purpose of seeing who is who

don't feed the troll
