ipaddr··on AI companies destroy physical books – let's scan rare books before it's too late
Books by Zolar are interesting hard to find all editions. The Fearful Void by Geoffrey Moorhouse probably still has 100s of copies available but hate to see it lost.
ipaddr··on Is there room for an AI-powered webmail service built on a single-letter domain?
You will get banned from mailgun quickly. Mailgun isn't designed for non-trusted actors emails sending on your reputation. The spam will kill your service quickly.

If you built your own stack your domain will be labelled spam quickly.

xyz domains already have a low reputation score.

Can't see it working.

ipaddr··on GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50%
You lower prices for marketshare. Fable became a mythological model to leadership because they were the first story of ai escaping and hacking another company. The it's so dangerous the public can't use it narrative is sticky so OpenAI is showing off its model so as many eyeballs as possible. We're in the samples in the supermarket phase.

Rumors can happen online or offline and provides the same effect. Tell a group of 4 people in a school a lie can spread to the entire school population in an hour.

Your saying social media and the internet in general makes this effect worse. I agree it can speed up the messaging but it always starts from those same 4 people. And the same people turning on you because of an online post are the same group who will turn there backs on you for an offline rumor.

In both cases its bullying.

On the other hand the same internet and social media allows you to connect with other kids from outside of your local groups enabling a wider social net.

They are bullying in real life. People are bullied over anything you don't have the right app, shoes are the wrong brand, wrong skin color. I don't see how not being on twitter or facebook is going change bullying. You could make the point that not being online means less bully and wider social circles.

Children not on social media can be bullied by those on social media? No they can't because they are not there.

Kids can talk about other kids when they are not in the room but can't bully them.

That's like saying you can bully Brad Pitt because you and your wife are talking about them.

Parents can decide what their children view. It's literally their decision to allow them on platforms or decide what movies they can see or what friends they are allowed.

Those who say how can I tell my child they can't have what others in school have. Then yoi are letting other parents raise your child.

ipaddr··on France's top court blocks social media ban for under-15s
Parents are not professional when it comes to raising children. If we care about children being raised correctly shouldn't we defer to those who have a certification and an education in raising children.

In the future the state will raise children giving all children an equal chance of a good future. Poor children are less likely to get into good schools and careers where rich families can buy a better future.

Think of the children.

You do they visit or not. Should hackernews be forced to presenting their content a million ways? They present based on decisions made by the people who created the site.

Infinite scrolling is now evil? But pagination is fine?

The form you use is part of expression.

Engagement maximizing is a buzzword that translates to content people are interested in viewing. Why would you want to regulate content to be uninteresting? I can't see that benefiting anyone.

Imagine 2.0 is out as well. Reviews say people look like plastic. Image and video generation quality is extremely low.
ipaddr··on The UK's war on anonymity has come to America
Humans rights change over time and are different in different places.

Currently its not a human right to be able to marry an ai personality or a machine but it will be. 100 years ago it wasn't human right to marry same sex.

Human rights are not fixed in time. We may see privacy rights becoming a human right soon or not depending on how things play out. Should having a dark sky at night be a human right currently we don't think so but that could change.

Not sure why you were trying for a few days to be part of the conversation and being ignored by everyone and when you finally get a reply is all you have to offer.

I'm glad you are disappointed maybe you can set different goals in your life and find some level of happyness.

ipaddr··on 'Pervert glasses': Backlash against Meta's smart glasses grows
Not sure I see the difference. Family uploads photo to facebook friends and family see and facebook scans their face. Video uploaded to meta platform instagram facebook scans there face and no friends and family see and probably no strangers because its a boring video.

Probably safer with a stranger considering children attacked by people they know.

People should be more worried at facebook scanning faces and linking photos to real identities.

The default is people live streaming their day. Live streaming is very popular with young people not so with older people.
ipaddr··on 'Pervert glasses': Backlash against Meta's smart glasses grows
A little league game has hundreds of people taking pictures and video. Unless your child plays naked there is nothing you can do to stop them. If you really want to stop anyone from seeing your child in public you would need a Burka or don't allow them to be in public.

I think you are fighting a losing battle if you choose to allow your kids to enter society.

The law allows recording of people without consent or knowledge now. From flock cameras to door bell cameras to store cameras your pcture is taken hundreds of times daily. To just restrict glasses can be seen as a freedom of speech issue.

What you said was very racist. I've been saying people are basically the same and you've tried to create tribal divisions and pretend to speak for a half a billion people. I think people have more in common and you see difference.

In all of your message you assume a Polish person or Englishman or Croats are white. Many people of different color skin have citizenship in Poland or Serbia and that makes them Polish. Your type of tribalism is dangerous and offensive to others.

I live in Europe.
ipaddr··on New Amazon Data Center Is Set to Have the Most Polluting Power Plant in the U.S.
Whites are native in Europe not Canada.

You may not know this but the natives in North America killed the natives who lived their before white people moved in.

ipaddr··on New Amazon Data Center Is Set to Have the Most Polluting Power Plant in the U.S.
"no such thing as race in Europe"

You lost the debate here. People classify themselves in a million ways. But we are talking race. Next you'll say there are no males or females just Croats or Serbs. No blonds or brown haired people just Serbs or Croats. Lol.

ipaddr··on New Amazon Data Center Is Set to Have the Most Polluting Power Plant in the U.S.
Natives replaced other natives. Don't let it happen to you.

Debating is impossible when you don't have facts supporting you. Mockery is next followed by acceptance. Wish you well on your journey towards knowledge.

Those are not choices on a form with race. Presented with a form they would select white.

Nationalism isn't race. You are losing the debate changing goalposts doesn't work.

ipaddr··on New Amazon Data Center Is Set to Have the Most Polluting Power Plant in the U.S.
Happened to the people before these natives. Don't let the same thing happen to you.

If we went to Croatia and Serbia both wouldn't concern themselves white or they wouldn't consider the other as white? What would they call themselves?

I think they would consider themselves white from a different nations. Many north american natives come from different tribes but they are still Indian. Same thing.

ipaddr··on New Amazon Data Center Is Set to Have the Most Polluting Power Plant in the U.S.
I understand white people not identifying with each other and supporting each other. Other racial groups stick together and that's why you are hearing people say wake up from across the pond.

In the end what you don't value will disappear including your nation.

People with other ideas are barely literate. Said someone who feels good about himself today but couldn't offer up actual facts and offered nothing to the conversation.

You are a minority in Toronto if you are white and less than 20% if you are British. Edmonton is 53% white and going down fast. Vancouver is down to 45%. GTA 43% white.

If you are in tech or government or banking or any large corp you are a minority.

Things have changed.
