I think the answer is more or less there in your question:

Speech? Do it freely.

Retaliation? Go to jail.

Of course there are huge caveats to these.

For instance, doxing is speech which I don't think should be protected ("Joe was was a member of the Nazi party and he lives at this address"). There's no debate or formulation of ideas in it. But if you said "All former Nazi party members should be deported". It's hateful but I think it should be protected: it's political, it's abstract, it can be debated.

So it started by bunch of losers seeking fame in insulting others.

I understand the stupidity in today's internet is out of proportions, but Muslims themselves burn Quoran to dispose of it. The sole intention of the losers here is to insult a large group of people. The retaliation is coming in several forms including the call to bankrupt such miningless countries and that's a good thing. The exact reason why Denmark and Sweden are banning acts of hate speech against Muslims.

Now you are writing that (selective) hate speech should be free and protected and all retaliations should be banned.. which is funny because it's not how the world works and you don't get to dictate the rules.

> It's time to move on from thinking that burning things needs government protection

The free speechers are asking for the opposite: this is a situation in which the government should not intervene.

> government should not intervene

when the government shouldn't intervene? when there's hate speech against Muslims or when the Muslims retaliate?

can an AI build an entire functioning backend with tests, DBs, queues, ..?

can an AI debug/profile/.. entire distributed backend, find what's wrong and add at least one integration test so it won't happen again?

can an AI setup all the devops pipelines, setup monitoring and alerting?

can management trust what an AI spits and put it in prod?

if the answer is no to one or more to the above, then my job is secure.

the better question..

am I using the latest GPTs to do my work and save a lot of time and get more things done? hell yes

Probably a pill hard to swallow for HR, I would never be more productive than from my home. I put weeks tweaking my environment for maximum productivity, I will never shy off from wearing comfy clothes and using the washroom, adjusting temperature as needed (as somebody with a higher metabolism than average). Working remotely I am being askded about the progress of work rather than why I left 5min earlier..

I understand it works better for companies too, larger talent pool, reduced costs. The negatively affected entities are neither the employees nor the the employers.

I will punish you by not selling to you what you can get from somewhere else.. Add to that the subscription based sales to unlock new features..

I wonder when are they going to punish the US for occupying Syria and stealing its oil.

English is currently more or less the global language for most things international.

The solution is to push even more English education if international scientists want to keep up.

I would have the exact same opinion if Chinese was doing the same.

jostiniane · 2 years ago
it's the cycle of civilizations and English got a turn, I agree that's the way. But the issue for most places is the fear to loose their language and identity slowly.. Pushing their own language in schools and universities is a way to keep it alive but does sacrifice people and leave them behind.. I come from a place where English is the third language and I can see the pain of brilliant people left behind because of that.
