Considering there is already another person replying to this comment saying that 'hacker' doesn't really mean anti-establishment, sharing them here seems like a good way to get a wave of unsavory folks.
>Though there’s no evidence a human has contracted bird flu from eating infected meat, the USDA urges people to eat meat prepared at safe temperatures. To be properly cooked, whole beef cuts must be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, ground meat must be cooked to 160 degrees and poultry must be cooked to 165 degrees. Rare and medium rare steaks fall below this temperature.
I cannot wait for this to be a political point about the woke brigade taking away rare steak.
>Former CDC director Robert Redfield—who helped oversee the agency during the COVID-19 pandemic—told NewsNation earlier this month a bird flu pandemic is inevitable, so “it’s not a question of if, it’s a question of when.”
I remember bird flu being a worry for decades, has the concern of this grown significantly, or is this a bit of a baity article post covid?
> If there are people killing other people, I wouldn't say that a communication method was to blame. In Scream, Sidney didn't sue the phone company who let the killer call her from inside the house. The idea that some news feed posts whipped people up into a killing frenzy just sounds absurd.
This is the core of your point and a comment on the idea itself, not the way the article portrayed it. I think it's fare to characterize your dismissal as glib.
Not the person you're responding to, but I guess I would just have to flip that back around and say really this is bullshit to be honest.
I guess I don't really feel that you can just say you're an ethical person and have it absolve yourself of impact of your work.
It doesn't seem a stretch to say that the goals of meta are propagated by the things meta focuses work on, and even if one isn't on the forefront of stealing data, intruding on privacy, or maximizing engagement at all costs, doesn't mean nothing they do will play a part in those teams.
At the end of the day, even accounting at the orphan crushing factory plays a part in the orphan crushing machine.
I'm sure there will be some, but even if one takes most of the AI claims as exaggerated, current machine learning is orders of magnitude more useful than bitcoin ever was.
They said smear not slur, and they are pretty plainly correct considering we have everything from sitting politicians using it to describe any legislation that honestly reports US history, to youtube personalities using it to rant for hours about minorities in star wars.
You can just go around excusing creepy behavior as "being neurodivergent?"
As far as I know, the only person who has diagnosed Richard Stallman with anything is Richard Stallman, and I doubt he has even an honorary doctorate that would qualify him to make such a diagnosis. Maybe he is neurodivergent, maybe he isn't. If he were, that wouldn't excuse his behavior, as plenty of neurodivergent people don't act the way he does. It's not a "get out of social consequences free" card.
And honestly, if Richard Stallman is so neurodivergent that he isn't capable of interacting with people in a reasonable way, despite being middle aged and no doubt having been told about his behavior many, many times, he shouldn't be in the position he's in.
