instead voting for independent anarchist parties which try to get rid of as many laws and government institutions and also nationalize anything the people will be better served by, under collective ownership.

Once the laws are gone/things are deregulated, the corpos will likely take over. Nationalizing sounds good, but likely won’t end well without regulations, imo.

I’m being a bit extra but…

Your statement:

The article headline is wildly misleading, bordering on being just a straight up lie.

The article headline:

A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It

The general story in reference to the headline:

• He found csam in a known AI dataset, a dataset which he stored in his account.
• Google banned him for having this data in his account.
• The article mentions that he tripped the automated monitoring tools.

The article headline is accurate if you interpret it as

“A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It” (“it” being “csam”).

The article headline is inaccurate if you interpret it as

“A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It” (“it” being “reporting csam”).

I read it as the former, because the action of reporting isn’t listed in the headline at all.

Google isn’t the only service checking for csam. Microsoft (and other file hosting services, likely) also have methods to do this. This doesn’t mean they also host csam to detect it. I believe their checks use hash values to determine if a picture is already clocked as being in that category.

This has existed since 2009 and provides good insight on the topic, used for detecting all sorts of bad category images:

There’s no point in taking moderation seriously. It’s a volunteer position and the tools to handle slop aren’t there.

I hear they’re bringing back digg.

I also hear it’s a former Reddit C-suite that’s bringing it back, so it’ll probably be more of the same.

And his lyrics for Osmosis Jones indicate he might be singing for another type of fan

1. We don’t need lube to masturbate. I never understood that. Maybe I just got lucky?
2. I want my foreskin back :'(

It’s fair to say that Clinton wasn’t a good role model and broke his oath to his wife (so long as they weren’t in an open relationship, which I doubt they were).

Concerning the age difference: I think this is where we have a disagreement. Even if the brain is still developing at 22, a 22 year old is an adult. If you make a bad decision as an adult, I don’t think the excuse that your brain is still developing holds. Monica isn’t being judged for a crime (at least as far as DC law goes), but she’s being socially judged for being with a married man sexually, which we know is wrong in our culture.

You’ve made some pretty good points about how disproportionate the response has been. I agree that the proportion was definitely unfair.

I think it’s alright to hold both of them accountable for infidelity in a social sense. Clinton being the more responsible as the man in the marriage, but Monica knew he was married. I can’t see a moral argument to not hold her accountable for this as well (again, socially, not legally). They were both adults. I don’t think the age difference or power dynamic lets either of them off of the hook, even though it would make the then-President comparatively more in the wrong.

I think it’s more alright to have punished Clinton for lying (under oath, right?). Even if I don’t think it made sense to ask him about sexual relations, he still lied about it. I don’t think there’s any legal issue with what Monica did.

I’m glad she’s speaking up against bullying nowadays.

I didn’t follow each update on this situation while it was going on, so if you think I missed an important point that would change my mind, I’m open to considering it.

They’re not paying their workers, either, and they have large targets for offshoring a percentage of their workforces.

Last I checked years ago, they sold their carbon credits for a whole lot of money whenever they earned them.

I’ll never forget how he changed users’ text without them knowing it before the 2016 election. Reddit was going downhill before, but that was a turning point.
