@vishwa_manava_@wil1fred@AnthropicAI Or X to electrician. I could maybe see myself doing that, but I’d need two years in a vocational school. How’d I fit that in with an existing job? How’d I afford it without a job? Not to mention that overseas in the UK and Europe, I think you gotta go through an apprenticeship?!
@wordgrammer TLDR: 99% of the time, people want to be entertained. That drove the growth of fiber & the net. Video & photos are more entertaining. 1% of the time, people want to create or do something useful. However, unless it’s dead simple and works exactly as they expect, they won’t do it.
A ride fit for a Spartan.

@MorrisT38728399@MacFarlaneNews@JessicaTarlov They changed incumbent prez for VP in election because they were willing to change the narrative.
It took them a while. But they did, and it was a huge election no less.
Before that Al Franken resigned for a thing.
More people should be willing to change their minds like that.
@essenviews Oof. Don’t people realize Democratic socialist means “more like Bernie” and “less like the Clintons”? For anyone voting blue, who wouldn’t want that?

Just a heads up regarding a piece of yours:https://t.co/R0tTJxmotG
“According to the Michigan Voice, Hassan is a Muslim.”
Apparently the outlet is called “Michigan Advance”: https://t.co/PiLrVRl8gY
@A24 y’all are really making asses of yourself right now with your insanely overreaching and out of control takedown machine. For shit you don’t even have any rights to!!!
@Wikitube911@lizcollin One last thing: sometimes where I think you should go one direction, you go the other. I think you went the direction you did in some of those junctures bc of certain beliefs & principles of your own, some I disagree with. But people don’t always agree. It’s just a fact of life.
@Wikitube911@lizcollin To be clear: though they’re sometimes a bit hard to follow, your points, associations, & trains of thought are evident and insightful. And you clearly look at issues from both/sides multiple angles, a hallmark of good reasoning that’s unfortunately too often lacking in discourse.
@Wikitube911@lizcollin Exactly. A little bit of column A and a little bit of column B. Column B isn’t necessarily pejorative, it’s more cautionary, even perhaps just an observation that your points, associations, or train of thought can be a bit hard to follow, especially within constraints of Twitter
@Wikitube911@lizcollin > I know that policy was in there. I also know, it was ordered removed as part of the David Smith settlement and hadn’t been.
Indeed. It was still in there. That’s disappointing (to say the least).

@sharbel PS: I wrote a paper on CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA many years ago. But I’ve known for a long time, even before then. Like you said, at first it was altruistic. But later, each time I identified a crosswalk, traffic light, or bus, I felt twinges of apprehension, misgivings, & resentment
@sharbel But billions of people get to benefit from Google Maps for “no charge”. While that’s not nothing, I’ve pondered this calculus of value received versus given quite a bit. My biggest concern has been the data will be used to “discriminate”: e.g. Instacart dynamic pricing and worse.
@sharbel In a nutshell: I’ll do something or give something if I get something of sufficient value in return. That’s the Faustian bargain that I’ve made. But I’m still afraid and dismayed that the value and the eventual costs for me and everyone else are much more against us than for us.
