Hope this doesn't end up political... Last time the entire Framework Discord's mod team went on strike because of a controversial sponsorship, and ended with the closure of the discord.

I totally see why Framework doesn't want this toxicity and flamewars.

Note that nothing in the article is AI-specific: the entire argument is built around the cost of persuasion, with the potential of AI to more cheaply generate propaganda as buzzword link.

However, exactly the same applies with, say, targeted Facebook ads or Russian troll armies. You don't need any AI for this.

It has been practiced by populist politicians for millennia, e.g. pork barelling.

I wonder if that's helping the US Navy shoot up fishing boats in the Caribbean or facilitating the bombing of hospitals, schools and refugee camps in Gaza.

Trailbase is the same concept, but written in Rust instead of Go.

Another selling point for Pocketbase then.

I’d argue focusing on wealth inequality is precisely the wrong approach. A better approach would be to look at the quality of life of the poorest.

This is how you end up with aggressive taxation on middle class, all the while the wealthy are laughing their way to the bank.

Maybe people in UK should de-stupidify their politicians.

The two major parties are both supporters of the nanny state.

Sounds more like people need to de-UK. It's going to be a problem with any company or technology.

There's more good reasons to de-Apple besides just residing in UK.

LED headlights are not really a problem. The problem is how tall the modern cars are and how high are the headlights mounted.

Most probably a response to CLAP gaining popularity. But they buried a lede with Wayland support. This puts VST3 ahead of CLAP in that regard.

And I can't get the shot in Germany because I'm "too old" and just assumed to be infected with it already, anyway.

What a great system.

odiroot · 3 months ago

Sort of similar in most EU countries. I could get it in Austria but it's prohibitively expensive.
