  • I have no problem with being able to verbally ask a computer to do basic useful things, it’s a far more advanced PC-human inferface than the computer mouse…

    But beyond that, meh. I get how it can be used by science to solve complex issues or analyze large datasets, and that’s cool, but I don’t need anything on my PC more calable than an aide that can set a timer for me, or thereabouts.

    If it can’t already do something with way fewer errors than people, than it shouldn’t be doing that yet.

    If it can, then we might as well put it to work.

    We didn’t build stone tools because our hands were good enough, or bronze tools because stone was good enough,…











  • Interesting, but there’s no evidence they are nazi themselves, just that they intentionally disregard whether any of their partners are nazis, and only concern themselves with whether or not any partnership furthers their goal of promoting open source tech.

    So their focus is just limited and immature.

    They themselves can still do a lot of good, orgs don’t need to be perfect, but I too would expect them to remove support for extremist led project when made aware, as to ensure they weren’t inadvertently supporting extremist views and actions. But I also can’t see punishing them for being politically or socially stupid while otherwise being very tech savvy.

    Like we’ve never met a socially awkward tech savvy person before?

    The world is mostly a bunch of grey areas: at this point I disapprove of a couple of their actions, but I won’t boycott them outright for their error.

    If they started flying nazi flags themselves, well, then, I suppose things would be a bit different.
