We have examples today of the real harm of this, like in Afghanistan. It’s interesting that western societies are overall less religious as ever, yet religion keeps getting shoved down our throats… and winning.

Paternalism vs liberty. Tell me more. I haven’t heard of this comparison before.

Reminds me of the bill hicks quote on advertising.

ChatGPT is phenomenal at coming up with ideas to test out. Good critical thinking is necessary though… I’ve actually been able to make a lot of headway with a project that I’ve been working on, because when I get stuck emotionally, I can talk to chatgpt and it gets me through it because it knows how I think and work best. It’s scary how well it knows me… and I’m concerned about propoganda… but it’s everywhere.

The cops can come to them to get video on you. So you’re impacted.

That’s exactly what I use. Chances of my house getting robbed is small. Chances of yet another data breach is very high - this year my data was breached at least 2ce that I remember.

Why even bother paying actors?

It’s such an apple thing - “revolutionize” something that already existed

Sometimes we create our own prophecy. I wonder if he had a lot of skin issues.

Tbh I’m surprised they’re not asking for government issued id along with the selfie.

The arguments that I’ve seen against that is that the problem is the hardware. The child can figure out/find a hack to circumvent the restrictions. A determined 11/12 year old could do it. They’re the ones who still need restriction.

Tbh I have never seen Minecraft and Roblox content at all. I do occasionally see alt right content but I block it immediately and don’t see them again.

I’ll give you a different perspective, perhaps you keep getting those kind of videos because you share some of the same beliefs as them. So maybe yt/life is trying to get you to start questioning your beliefs and interests…

Ubo has a video in the reddit sub on how to do it.

That’s so interesting re your mother. I wonder if her beliefs closely align to fox and asmongold (never heard of that one), but are different enough for her to not be interested in that content. Ie: ven diagram between the belief systems, except the differences are big enough for her to not to like fox content but for the algorithm the commonalities are good enough to keep suggesting the content.

I hear you. I use an adblocker and don’t see ads at all. I cannot imagine using the internet without it. I also only use the home link on yt and freely use the not interested feature.

Exactly. I have my own interests and I just stick to that. Arts and crafts and dog grooming videos haven’t made me angry.

Why did YT make you angry? I haven’t experienced it yet. I block content I’m not interested in and it goes away.

… leadership impacts the product. Ff might be the best choice rn, but leadership will fuck it up.

I just moved back to ff in November, because of ubo. I have to move again? Where to?

Wasn’t there someone else who created a bill and voted for it, but told others to vote against it?
