That’s right. Facts have no bearing on the law. And when you’re desperately scouring the official sources of any objective facts, that means you have none to counter ridiculous shit like this.

I kinda feel like other than this being specific to India and the differing marriage culture from the west, this could have been written about Match.com 20 years ago. If there is anything about what has recently come to define AI, I overlooked it.

That said, I’d probably be even more negative about AI’s ability to match people up. Although in a culture of arranged marriages, I don’t know that it would necessarily be worse.

Yeah, she has fucking destroyed her own credibility. Maybe this shit happened, and she certainly didn’t deserve that. But her say so isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

I don’t know about government overall, but the military and HHS have has some of the most stringent security stances I’ve encountered. To the point where just working for them was a massive chore. (How effective they were I guess I don’t know, but working for them sucked.)

That said, I’ll take what you said on faith, because I think you’re spot on with everything else.

I am adjacent to a lot of Trump voters through my wife relating conversations from her 95% Trump voting company. Other than having to stamp out some offensive exuberance, there has been no reaction to any of it. They are just excited about the ascendency of the right and waiting for the “benefits” to percolate through society.

Despite having gay kids they support, etc. Any doubts or second thoughts they are having are not being shared. Could be the network effect of not wanting to be the first to break faith, but that could just as easily be wishful thinking.

That’s what I meant, but maybe I wasn’t specific enough. In modern society, wealth is what makes you more fit for survival.

If you think about it, costs might go down overall, but the difference will be made up by less educated/aware folks getting raked over the coals by predatory practices. It’s a step towards a more Darwinian society.

They have always been techno-punks: anti-establishment and more style than substance. That being said, if nothing else, they were able to shine a light on shitty people and that’s more than most folks do.

I wish they were getting into organizations and dumping gigs of documents detailing illegal and anti-consumer/citizen activities, but money and law enforcement really goes after anything with an actually impact that might affect wealth. No one actually gives a shit about a website being down. (Excepting like… Amazon or Google and good fucking luck with that.)

So it’s like a flaming bag of shit left on a porch. They take care of it and shout “you damn punks!” But if you burn the barn down, every cop in the county will be interrogating everyone they can find until you are caught.
