I made it about 15% through the article, but that is a about normal for the Atlantic.

They generally get their point across and then rattle on for more time than I am interested in reading.

Guess I'm part of the post literate world. I also perfer short stories instead of novels.

In the last 5 years so much of the legislative pressure is coming down to remove anonymous Internet access to save the children or protect us from some harm.

In the end it is all being used to track and control us.

"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin

Never truer words ever spoken. And yet we keep slipping down this slope again and again and again and it seems there is never a way to climb back out.

So basically they get paid peanuts and are overworked and so no one wants to do it.

Also seems like something AI could really cut into. You could have a master animator doing much of important thoughtful work and AI filling in the obvious as well as doing tweening (sound similar to programming)

Really, who needs a studio if you have the creative talent and ability to leverage AI for the grunt work. Or have a couple grunt work humans paid these rates to manage the tedious work of leveraging the AI to make it look seamless.

It would make an interesting map generation algorithm that could feed the card data and specified map tiles into an image gen AI system that would have to take the map tiles and try to follow the rules.

Everywhere (reddit, YouTube, Spotify) need to have a button to flag and then flag as ai. Reddit really has it buried in multiple levels of menus.

People are pretty darn good now at spotting ai.

An alternative is just use ai to look at the comments. Almost anything with AI has comments complaining about it.

All of these sites need to deal with it because it does drive away users.

Do you have water and ports on the roadmap. I'd love some boats :)

Or maybe no one with interesting thoughts on anything would invest anything in a nation where if post anything online that might be slightly controversial you might go to jail and not even have the protection of a jury to balance out the overreach of government.

That and other things that are transforming it into a nanny state make it a hell no.

But yeah, it's nice you are lowering taxes and regulations on those who fall in line.

I have been learning lua to do a VR game in lovr, so I'll probably use that to get sharper with it.

Underneath all of that mud there might be treasures.

Adblocking is the brush you need

I look forward to a year or two from now when there will be dozens of pebble clones just rolling out of factories for the price of a midrange Casio watch.

This along with valve's hardware announcement is quite a shot at all the entreched hardware manufacturers.

Considering the upcoming release of Frame, a VR headset based on Linux, I feel this couldn't be a more untrue statement.

The real truth is they moved out of the game development space and embraced the game platform space letting their old products wither and die.

I like grok for noncoding stuff. I find it hasn't been tuned for "Safety" (meaning it isn't tuned much for political correctness). It also seems good at making images and stories up well. I run some choose your own adventures stories with my kids through it. We tell it who each of their characters are and what the theme is for the night and grok gives them each a section of story and 4 choices. They also have the option of choosing something different then suggested. We have it so it cycles around the turns for everyone. Works pretty well, and if the kids wanna go dark (preteen boy) grok doesn't mind the violence.

Kinda reminds me of the video game from enders game.

Facebook is a single website. Other websites can host it just fine.

This is the same as blocking content on your own forum or comment section on your blog. Yes fb is huge, but still just a website, and one with fading popularity.

Blocking ips on a network level is different.

I love finding new music. Looks like now I can go find some far away clubs and listen to their djs while doing some coding.

Large companies love regulation and red tape because it usually kills smaller competitors.

I use "Code Injector" extension which is available for firefox and chrome. You can add custom javascript and css to any page. I usually inspect the page, find the classes or ids of the elements I want to get rid of, and do a display:none on them.

ADC = Analog to digital converter

Takes an analog signal from something like light or sound and convert it into a digital signal.

Acronyms introduced in an article should be spelled out at least once please.
