    I don’t like it but it’s one of the difficult parts of free speech. People can say fucked up things that fall short of repercussions. Hopefully some day conversion therapy is classified as verbal abuse in cases where a child clearly rejects it.

    People keep recommending his videos on this site and I'm not sure if they simply aren't aware he's a rapist or don't care. Kind of annoying we need to highlight this every time.

    Here’s the thing I made https://github.com/noisebridge/donate-portal

    It’s fully stateless (all state is in Stripe) and server side rendered.

    It also has a twitch-style donation alerts page which we show in 3 locations in our building: https://wacky.pics/i/ujocozt6.jpeg

    There are special animations and effects for different amounts like $4.20

    I expect this show to be kind of mediocre. It’s extremely rare for a TV show to be interesting to me. That said, if there was an incredibly entertaining TV show made by literal Nazis I’d definitely watch it, but in a way where they got no money from me.

    But I can see online discussions being less ethically clear as you might cause a bystander to pay for the media.

    Kedrosky called this “a death spiral to zero.”

    Given this: I have heard the scanners referred to as "penis detectors". So that's another possible issue. The person controlling the scanner hits a different button for male vs. female people.

    Modern LLMs are artificial, they are general, and it’s not crazy to call them intelligent. So if you want to throw out the old definition of AGI you could call them that.

    Also consider that before ChatGPT there were a lot of GPT-3 slop blogs. I know because I worked at one of the original slop producing companies.
