This is really well thought out. There was something that always bugged me about BSG that I couldn’t quite put my finger on, and you explained what it was quite nicely.

Reddit’s value has never been in the “average redditor” or the “popular subs”. The real value is in the niche tail of communities and the fact that they have such a massive amount of people that even if “only” 10% of their users were decent people, it still meant that they had enough decent people to talk with something to contribute.

Yeah, I don't use Reddit any longer, but it was really great that there were active subs devoted to incredibly obscure topics. If you wanted to talk about something, chances were that thousands of other people did too.

And why is the area code of Apple’s phone number in single quotes?

Yes, the whole thing is especially frustrating because the app was quite nice. Harriette did a really good job really quickly.

Not much good at anything, but incredible at self-promotion so people think he is

A friend of mine once made what I thought was an absolutely brilliant observation: "Self-promotion is the only skill that is consistently rewarded."

I think governmental organizations should do the same. It's absurd that FEMA or whoever essentially has to rely of Elon's goodwill.

Why should a political organization be tax-exempt?

[–] blivet@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Yes, that’s pretty much where I’m at.

If the quality of AI-generated content degrades to the point where it’s useless that is also fine with me.

So in order for data to be useful to AIs, AI-generated content will have to be flagged as such. Sounds good to me.

Why are you sure about this? Do you think her issue is a lack of education/knowledge?

Exactly. From what the article says, the remarks she was attempting to deliver were accurate and on point. She was momentarily disoriented as to what particular action the Senate was engaged in at that time.
