Might think is an irony, but it’s intentional: that area is supposed to be sacred to the locals. This ongoing violation is just colonialism and genocide 2025.

Hm good point, and the techbro loligarchs will be gunning for control over areas like that, so it will be under pressure.

Not a popcorn show though. More like fingernail lunch.

It's the path of strongly hierarchical institutions. The hierarchy itself skews bullshitters and sociopaths into power over time, and it becomes self-justifying and drops the core goals as you point out.

Flatter hierarchy institutions seem to have some immunity to this if the central goals are sufficiently motivating. The Quakers manage a fairly enduring fidelity to their original principles, for instance, and I admire their organizational methods and commitment to good works, if not their mythology. At a much smaller scale, nonprofits and cooperatives I have been involved with also have more or leas success avoiding institutional rot based on that combination of clear goals and power sharing.

That is the cycle of enshittification: give things away free at first, find ways to get indirect revenue from that by selling your users once the network effects kick in, and then in the end, raid the whole company for the primary shareholders.

It's a new economic model peculiar to late stage capitalism, and it's like an engine that drives loligarchy. Chucklefuck rich white boys who don't realize a little learning is the most dangerous thing of all.

I’m here for the performative human part of the testing. Exposing AI is human generated content.

Horseshit.

Triage works well here once it kicks in. It can take a long time to see a specialist, but if you have a good GP who is concerned about life-threatening disease, the system goes into very high speed.

Chronic disease is another issue, but that is more a problem with philosophy than implementation.

Well, that is a shitty thread with a knee-jerk Nazi response, which is froth-at-the-mouth stupid, but to be clear, you claim mere disagreement when instead you attacked the individual with supposition and derision rather than just disagreement.

If we are going to avoid having an echo chamber here, we have to raise the level of discourse and avoid ad hominem attacks please.

Misogyny, insecurity, failure to understand how sexual preferences actually work, reducing relationships to venality, and other stupid things...such as asking a general why instead of something more specific or useful.
