Building off this, the last time I remember anyone being a copywriter at a software company I’d worked for was IBM in 2015.

They simply expected the developers to write the documentation. Strangely, this actually worked some of the time, but is usually why modern docs are cobbled together and half-finished, or omitted entirely.

Say what you will about AI being used in this way, but it’s still fuckloads better than the current trend of putting everything on fucking Discord jfc whyyyyy

The speed is slower but the slope is slippery all the same.

Beware the fallacy fallacy.

What makes you think it will stop there? Once the groundwork has been laid for this framework, all they need to do is roll out v2 which requires a little more from the user, etc.

Most servers won’t check this bit at first because they don’t need to or care, but once the technology is in place, it won’t be long before legislation mandating the checking of that bit begins to roll out affecting industries and providers that deal in topics and goods deemed to be bad for the children (it won’t stop at porn).

Once that happens, minors will learn ways around the check (or parents will be lazy and give their kids access to adult logins, etc), and the “need” to enact stronger checks will be pushed for and…

Put all of it together and you’re heading towards an Internet without anonymity in a couple of decades.

Any sort of hardware attestation that non-trivially identifies a person to verify their age is going to be used to track and exploit people.

Anything less than that isn’t going to be effective for the supposed purpose.

The moment we need photo ID or government issued keys to access computer systems, things will get a lot more ugly real fast.

It wouldn’t surprise me if we found out that the problems Boeing is having aren’t unique to them.

“American fascism is entirely due to Russian operatives and trolls” is laughable because of how hard it glosses over the steps you have taken to ensure fascism in your own country.

I’m not American, and it’s not fascist thinking to point out the fact that Russia is literally running a fascist playbook to encourage aligned fascism globally.

Pointing that out isn’t meant to excuse the existence of fascists within the US; if anything, its about the idea that there are fascists to work with in every country, and they’re coordinating their efforts.

The difference between the US and Russia is there are still people like the head of the FTC trying to curtail corporate power however they can. Russia only does it to enforce loyalty amongst its oligarchs.

This idea that Russia is both too weak to win a war against Ukraine but also strong enough to covertly topple the world’s foremost superpowers is honestly fascist thinking.

The too weak/strong argument is fallacious in this instance because the dimensions we’re comparing aren’t equivalent. A nation that heavily invests in intelligence and asymmetric warfare at the expense of conventional warfare capabilities will be strong in the former and weak in the latter. In Ukraine’s case, Russia thought they were strong in both and found out that they weren’t quite as capable as they had led themselves to believe. That’s why we’re seeing them ramp up the tactics as described in the article.

Once Trump pulls the plug on Ukraine’s funding and access to US intelligence systems, they’ll fall to Russia because they won’t have enough of either capability to win a war of attrition with a larger, richer state.

A friendly reminder that “mongoloid” is a racist pejorative, and that the government of Mongolia literally ran a campaign decades ago to get people to stop doing it.

Appeasement just means more lebensraum.

We need to stop pretending that nuclear armament is an excuse to trample other countries with this childish crap.

Cut their internet and declare their currency holdings forfeit. Ban all travel to Russia. Force all companies to divest their holdings in Russia. Eject them from the UN.

Force them to live alone and if China joins in, then start ramping up production and give 'em the same treatment.

These fucking business children just can’t wait to stop being told “no” by developers, even if “no” is usually more of a statement of fact driven by the nature of the problem or its lack of feasibility.

So let’s get AI to shit on them as proof that we know they’re just wasting our time and money!

And people wonder why CEOs are getting shot. It’s the same problem in every industry; the genuine few who actually get it are being followed by waves of fakers that think the numbers are all that matters and that everyone is a replaceable cog, and shit like Muhu.ai is just another pile of stolen homework, badly reinterpreted and used to ill effect so that this guy can call himself a CEO.

Sucks that you had to deal with this during the holidays, but it’s good to know people like you won’t just let this slide.
