I'd like to add to their comment. A lot of people are coming from very argumentative or abrasive communities, and sometimes their initial messaging will show that. If someone comes off way too hot headed try not to assume that they're going to end up being a troll. They might just be riled up. I've had pretty good success in asking clarifying questions to get people to explain their view rather than just come in swinging.

Alternatively, and possibly almost as useful, companies will end up training their AI to detect AI content so that they don't train on AI content. Which would in turn would give everyone a tool to filter out AI content. Personally, I really like the apps that poison images when they're uploaded to the internet.

I'm fine with just the security updates until 2025. I'm sure I'll eventually be able to move on to Linux by then.

As an owner of a plug-in hybrid this is patently incorrect. Most electric car owners have at most of 240 volt outlet (in the US), which while can fill your battery in a few hours from home, still falls short of the half hour round trip to gas station and back. Maybe with time our infrastructure and technology will get to that point though.

For anyone thinking about listening to this podcast, it still platforms a lot of her crazy ideas. The following excerpt is from near the end of this article.

March 2023: A new podcast, The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling, produced by Bari Weiss’s The Free Press and hosted by prominent former Westboro Baptist Church member Megan Phelps-Roper, featured interviews with Rowling. In its fifth episode, Rowling begins discussing the modern trans rights movement, calling it “a cultural movement that was illiberal in its methods and questionable in its ideas” and insisting, “I believe, absolutely, that there is something dangerous about this movement and that it must be challenged.” She then compares the movement to Death Eaters — the villainous supremacists in her books, analogous to Nazis...

I've definitely caught myself in the doom attitude. But I've been waiting for 30 years to for enough reinforcements to fight a winning fight against the boomers and their many terrible ideas.

(And a huge thank you to the few boomers fighting along side us.)

There's a lot of Musk hate all over the Internet and irl, not just this site. For good reasons too, but I don't think the issue is that he didn't testify, it's because he wants regulators to be punished for enforcing regulations. That kind of attitude screams "I am above the law, punish these people so no one tries to hold me accountable again." to me.
