He is at least culpable of inaction, IIRC

As with the “abolition of private property” people quotes what’s convenient. The whole quote goes:

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.

Because coming up with a UI that doesn’t suck is too much work

Blah blah blah, big words, blah blah blah, bigger words. I don’t see how that works because you could make a point if your life were on the line.

There is no loss in a scenario in which racists are afraid of gleefully saying n****r on camera. Make them fear for their physical well-being. It worked for 70 years.

Yeah, instead of filming he should have found a woman willing to punch that racist piece of shit in the mouth. Repeteadly.

I’m not surprised at right wingers whining and playing victims, that’s their entire playbook.

No, there isn’t. Musk is a tech bro cranked up to 11.

I would walk my dog, lift weights, study foreign languages, help my community

Fuck their greed, I know that the bulk of their users wouldn’t caffè if the CEO started shooting puppies on Main Square, but they can train their AI on Deez

Way of life

Are you guilty?’ said Winston.

‘Of course I’m guilty!’ cried Parsons with a servile glance at the telescreen. ‘You don’t think the Party would arrest an innocent man, do you?’ His frog-like face grew calmer, and even took on a slightly sanctimonious expression. ‘Thoughtcrime is a dreadful thing, old man,’ he said sententiously. ‘It’s insidious. It can get hold of you without your even knowing it. Do you know how it got hold of me? In my sleep! Yes, that’s a fact. There I was, working away, trying to do my bit—never knew I had any bad stuff in my mind at all. And then I started talking in my sleep. Do you know what they heard me saying?’

He sank his voice, like someone who is obliged for medical reasons to utter an obscenity.

‘“Down with Big Brother!” Yes, I said that! Said it over and over again, it seems. Between you and me, old man, I’m glad they got me before it went any further. Do you know what I’m going to say to them when I go up before the tribunal? “Thank you,” I’m going to say, “thank you for saving me before it was too late.”’

‘Who denounced you?’ said Winston.

‘It was my little daughter,’ said Parsons with a sort of doleful pride. ‘She listened at the keyhole. Heard what I was saying, and nipped off to the patrols the very next day. Pretty smart for a nipper of seven, eh? I don’t bear her any grudge for it. In fact I’m proud of her. It shows I brought her up in the right spirit, anyway.’

Anyone who claims “AI = anarchy” deserves to have a canvas broken on its head cartoon style

If Jack Dorsey proposes something and Elon Musk agrees I’d be wary to see it as a good idea.

In my country your car get towed and you get a ticket. Theoretically you could be charged with disruption of a public service.

Human Connor should know his place

Interpreters tend to get paid more, especially in business settings

We clearly operate in two different job markets, I got paid €9/page (pre taxes) for specialized automotive texts in the 2010s. Not to mention the other violations of the labor laws of my country.

CAT-tools such as Trados killed the market. AI is just the natural conseguence.

You missed the point by a mile. Translation agencies pocket most of the money and pay peanuts
