Seems the gift has already run its course - for me, still getting paywalled. Are such links rate-limited?

> "People really hate the AI future right now. And people have no place to put that hatred. They see it coming. They see Sam Altman and Elon Musk and Dario Amodei being smug assholes, promising that no one will have a job and only a few dozen people will have any money and teehee maybe it will end the world but probably not and anyway you better let them do whatever they want because otherwise China will do it first and where is your patriotism anyway?"

Seems to be the full (albeit short) article.

> The draft regulations would also ban the use of other people's personal information to create digital humans without consent, or using virtual humans to bypass identity verification systems.

Fair enough. Many can agree with that.

> Digital humans are also prohibited from disseminating content that endangers national security, inciting subversion of state power, promoting secession or undermining national unity.

Now you're asking too much!

Coincidentally, same day as your post, Forbes published an article stating the same: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48128765

There's a userscript that'll hide users, 'sources' (domains), and titles. The GH repo was deleted, so use the GF link instead:

Agreed! For Firefox, those features can be put back there with 'Awesome RSS' and 'RSSPreview':

Why are you even still on Twitter?? Especially if it's affecting your psychological health.

HN is 'good' {not 'very good'} for civil discourse.

I would suggest forums - yes, the good ole forum groups - and specific redds, that focus on broader but specific topics that you enjoy - and staying away from those that you don't.

I also suggest building a personalized network of RSS feeds to content that you like, and interacting the writers and other commenters.

> Is there a sane place on the web left?

Yes. But they're 'boring' compared to rage/race-baiting, pseudo-politicized gated media with masked--and often open--agendas to keep you continuously riled-up to keep feeding The Age of Stupidity.

> moviechat is OK for old movies with old discussions

MC still has active discussions on new releases e.g. https://moviechat.org/tt1341338/Good-Luck-Have-Fun-Dont-Die.

They even have a forum for computer games: https://moviechat.org/bd0000053/Video-Games

It's a pity that MC and TMDB boards didn't become the equivalent of 'HN for visual media' and Reddit for the wider 'audience'. Today, Reddit is possibly the most popular site to read non-mainstream reviews.

IMdb deleted all their message boards in 2017 [1], which also included ALOT of user reviews, more than the Reviews section on the site.

Fortunately MovieChat.org took up archiving as much as it could of the old content, and up to today providing the same 'style' of community engagement as the old boards. I wonder if they'll do the same for User Reviews.

There's even a userscript [2] that seamlessly puts an embed of the equivalent MovieChat board (if available) for each IMdb entry, right in the site section where the old IMdb boards used to be.

I assume you can make an account on MC and still participate in all those (their) boards.

I'll admit though-- probably like many, I came to the old IMdb boards just before the deletion, and to be honest they were kinda shitty. Sorry. Alot of trollposting and lack of seriousness when someone tried to have a serious discussion about some work. But it was overall and mostly Fun!

The MovieChat boards still have much of that old content - take a look and enjoy.

Consider that she's one of 'the good guys'-- someone who self-reflected on her ambition, saw the 'evil' in hers and other's, called it out publicly, and assumedly regrets hers, and is trying to do better.

Sadly, terrifyingly, for every one of her, there are hundreds who might also self-reflect - but >choose< to be comix-book villains.

Thank you, sincerely:-- I did do a cursory search to see if previous submissions had been made; I was genuinely shocked to get no results. My search-fu failed me.
