We’re watching Microsoft ruin another company. Its like if EA or IBM buys something, its enshittified and rent seeking occurs for shareholders.

Once this Windows monopoly has passed due to the abysmal quality it will hopefully be over, and hopefully AI helps remove barriers to file portability to hasten their demise.

Is he wrong then for banning its use?

I started using intune and I’m amazed to find its complete shit, missing basic functionality. I’ve always thought they produced trash but assumed legacy bloat played a large role, now I realize they are just a rent seeker with a culture of producing bad quality.

Well I think it was the hardware crypto implementation that allowed it, as you could check cryptographic keys far faster, which is what creates the gate.

I got banned from here as well for saying verified facts with evidence. Its all the admins discretion in the end, and they’re political.

They flooded it with bots, what do you mean?

I think like Bitcoins creation hardwares technological advancement made it inevitable. Google made the tech, basic AI research, which became modern AI when they threw more compute at it.

Having rejected centralised restrictions on technology then, the alternative we are left with is decentralised restriction. This could include boycotts, agreements, social stigma, parallel economies, civil disobedience and more, with the goal of limiting the development, distribution or adoption of anti-human technologies.

So you require that people just boycott countries like China, stop buying their trinkets and they’ll stop creating doomsday weapons?

Whats the alternative, let China and Russia build up the technology and we stay in the past?

The US has the largest military because its the reserve currency, they print money and export their inflation and they spend that money on military expenditures, which prevents people from moving off USD.

This then lets them sanction other countries and control the worlds shipping lanes, so asking them to stop developing their military is asking for the existing global order to cease to exist, and then you’re at the whims of whatever power fills that void.

Bitcoin makes sense when the government prints 40% more currency and inflates assets, like Covid.

You’re assuming these people are doing something useful, they could be dealing with Microslop licensing as their full time job. Which is definitely a full time job, its just not useful work in the broader sense.

I wonder if it isn’t that AI is good, its that all other software is ass.

I use a patching software, antivirus, and backup software at work and they’re all now broken, after being patched. One is a 10.4B dollar company with a critical bug.

China burns coal to produce them, so there’s no shipping since they have coal.

I’m triggered by an erosion of free speech. I’m fine if these people want to say they are whatever they are.

Government dictates should be logical, not abusable, and in line with free speech as much as possible. Especially when the government themselves doesn’t set a defined number of genders and leaves it ambiguous.

Sure I’ve read reports from human rights lawyers that make it sound not so cut and dry, and even CBC interviewed someone who outlines as much, and thats the CBC which is generally pretty far left as far as trans issues.

As far as the rainbow analogy, you say theres no good answer to the question, but you think it righteous to punish someone for a wrong answer?

I sympathize with trans people, I just sympathize more with free speech. Without free speech we have something akin to Hovels power to the powerless.

You’re acting like other people are trying to make laws to dictate how you live your life based on how they feel, but the truth is you are the one who wants laws dictating how other people live their lives based on how you feel.

Well sorry, its a lot to respond to, I was referencing the punishment of a 750k fine for wrongspeech. I’m not saying we should fine trans people or force them to put male/female on their birth certificate, I’ve got no qualms about how people view or define themselves, I’m of the belief people should even be able to go as far as to say they are any race they want. Though I also believe the government should be race/gender neutral as well, so identity would no role in our dealings with the government and be totally apolitical.

Well the juxtaposition to shariah law is because its punishing someone for something made up, based not in something measurable but in pseudoscience. Its the idea that you can be punished for someone elses beliefs, which are whimsical in nature.

Anything but two you say. Great, let’s make more ambiguous rules based on “your truth”.

I’m fine if someone wants to call themselves a Ze or Zeh, but the ambiguity is silly and should never be codified into law. Let’s not make a mockery of laws people need to follow based on peoples feelings.

What if two people disagreed about what genders exist, one person says 3 and one says 8, is that automatic hate speech for the lesser?

OK how many genders are there, what correct answer should not be a finable offense, answer me that and I’ll relent. Perhaps I’m just unaware of the scientific consensus number, and I’ll admit my ignorance and bigotry.

If its “anything but 2” then obviously that is ridiculous. I appreciate your long winded response, I really hope you educate me.

This looks like one:

Why is it desirable to be fined that much for something most people don’t even agree on.

How many genders are there, ask anyone off the street and you’ll get a random number. Because as they say its not real, its a construct, and being fined 750k for a construct is ridiculous on its face.

Without the smarmyness convince me that it makes sense.
