when you think about it, it's kind of incredible that the USA has a culture in which most people driving cars (who are not famous for their conscientiousness) reliably stop at stoplights even if no one else is around. not everyone has this! it's a culture thing that had to be created and promulgated

you shouldn't have blind faith in AI tools, you should build trust in them, somewhat like you might with a human collaborator. and in truth, as you should do with *any* software tool you use; DuckDuckGo requires trust building as much as ChatGPT does.

That reads like a rehashing of stupid discourse with a particular side but personally I think we can avoid this silly argument not by positively or negatively debating the (future or present) ensoulment of objects but with the simple acknowledgment that souls aren’t real & humanity is contingent.

No, it’s not that. Again think back to George Floyd: within a week that video had produced the largest protests in history, literally worldwide, combined with things like 60% public approval for BLM and majority support for BURNING DOWN A POLICE STATION. The public can care about this stuff!

We need some movie producers to start creating realistic looking videos of ICE storming sleepy suburban white people’s homes/cars/businesses. I’m sure people “disapprove” of what ICE is doing right now, but maybe they don’t think it matters because it’s not them.

i like making little web apps for myself/family/friends. the most annoying parts — the parts that drastically increase the scope, from "a bunch of HTML, CSS & JS files" to "a web server and database" — are auth+persistence. so i am very excited about atproto including a user-owned solution for both.

The web can be made personal again.

Personal data storage is an idea whose time has come

Data Ownership as a conversation changes when data resides primarily with people-governed institutions rather than corporations.

i think the root problem is in trying to use one tool for two very different use cases: spending time with your friends and being social with them, vs spreading sensitive, factually rooted information. the current behavior is better for the former, but what you described is better for the latter.
