The best use of AI I’ve seen thus far is reading legislative bills. Those monstrosities are so fucking long and filled with earmarks that it’s next to impossible to understand what is in them.

Having an AI not only read the bill but keep a watch of it as it goes through Congress is probably the best use of AI because it actually helps citizens.

I am on record saying we need an AI that can track prices of various things that can then predict when the best time it is to buy something.

I want an AI bot that saves me money or gets me a good deal or extracts money from the capital class.

These laws are not written by the technically literate. They are written by attorneys based on the whims of old legislators who think that Siri is a real woman that they are talking to.

While the people who write the laws are competent, the legislators are not.

At the state level, it’s even worse because they are often given legislation carefully written by lobbyists and special interest groups.

If you have any inkling to run for office, please consider doing so because we need smarter people in every branch of government.

I know nothing about mobile OS development. How realistic is it at this point for someone to fork Android?

I know that software like Edge and Iron Fox can be forked and worked on by independent people. But Android is developed to integrate tightly with proprietary hardware.

The problem with “age” verification is that politicians are confusing it with identity verification.

I should not have to prove my name and other biometrics to prove age.

Age verification is the fascist way to get people to identify themselves and their online activity. Almost every state that has some sort of age verification law has zero method to actually verify age. No digital ID service, no way to share a credential for verification.

They want people to upload an ID.

This isn’t about keeping children safe and it never is. It’s about identifying critics of the government.

Am I the only one questioning why Microslop has a Discord server? Don’t they have a chat product?

The same public libraries that vigorously defend the privacy of our reading lists

The Patriot act allows the feds to get the books you’ve checked out at your local library.

Trump is a symptom. Removing him won’t save anything.

We need to gut the entire ruling class.

I do on my laptop. Mostly so I can present with one user that has a clean browser history.

My main user has access to all my porn.

J6 was a trial run.

They learned their lessons and they will do something else to usurp the democratic process. And this time it will work.

She said this as some sort of “gotcha”.

So before we miss the point here …

It is not okay to deport people without due process, even if that person is a cannibal!

This behavior seems to be very similar to NFL stars and how they never wanted their kids to play football.

Everyone involved knows how dangerous social media/football is and many of them are in positions to actually do something about it. But because it benefits them personally, they won’t even rock the boat.

We have a lot of people willing to fight for a better future.

We don’t have nearly enough people willing to die for a better future.

I’m going to be a bit contrarian here because there is a distinction that’s important.

If they cared about selling you, they’d have a similar incentive to keep your information private and only sell it to the government (which they can legally do).

They are bending a knee because they want to stay in Trump’s good side. They are literally becoming collaborators.

Remember that reddit fought against the MPAA and RIAA to not give them information about pirate users.
