I thought about setting up my own personal instance, but I didn’t want to have to deal moderate any CSAM.

Perfect is the enemy of good (enough).

Swedish?

meanwhile American genocide day is a celebration holiday

For some. For others it’s Indigenous People Day.

That is basically a non-answer and doesn’t mean anything.

You struggling to understand a statement doesn’t make it a non-answer.

The reality is AI is classified a national security priority and therefore has the US govt to prevent it from running out of money.

Your conflating the current technology AI and AI companies.

but ultimately its the willingness of people/companies to use the AI that results in the win.

Ah, you’re one of those people.

There is no way it doesn’t get propped up by the government at this rate.

There absolutely is a way. It starts with people hold their governments and representatives accountable.

The AI companies can and absolutely should fail. AI itself isn’t going anywhere. That Genie is out of the box.

My thought is the AI market won’t crash because especially in data engineering and devops there is an inherent worth.

Did you see Anthropic’s IPO filing? The company is upside down and there’s so much commingling between 3 or 4 companies that when one goes the rest will topple like dominoes.

What won’t crash are the billionaires at the top. See, they’re going to cash out with piles of money and leave the index fund investors (e.g. the every day person) holding the bag.

wouldn’t expect a kid to drink vanilla extract

You should expect an adult might. Specifically an alcoholic.

I’m not misunderstanding you. I think your struggling to follow your own conversation.

You brought up FACE, an organization concerned with Title IX enforcement specifically.

The other user explained they are given due process (under Title IX) and explained (poorly) that private colleges are not bound by the same rules if they don’t take government funding, expressed as government run.

Then you shifted it to some conversation about basic human rights and questioned what not being government run has to do with.

Which is why I shared the federal government page outlining Title IX exemptions.

Due process is covered under the 5th and 14th amendments, not Title IX.

Remember this:

Where you cited a Wikipedia article about an organization concerned with Title IX to justify your claim they’re not given “due process”.

It’s either bad faith or stupidity. Either way, I’m done engaging with it.

How are they being denied basic human rights?

Title IX is very specific and the organization you refer to, FACE, specifically states their goal in relation to title IX.

I can’t tell if your arguing in bad faith or you don’t understand title IX compared to other laws that would apply.

So many of them do not. Why does not being run by the government exempt schools from applying basic human rights?

Your question is a little hyperbolic since what your talking about is title IX specifically, not “human rights” in general.

You can read about title IX exemptions here.

That’s the most brain-dead take I’ve seen today, and I’ve been arguing with a guy

Maybe direct your overly aggressive anger at him then?

Fuck off. Comparing the impeccably-researchedwork of one of the most famous reporters in history, based on his own firsthand experiences in the meatpacking plants and interviewing the workers thereof… To fucking Calvin and Hobbes?

I made no comparison. I took the opportunity to recommend one of my favorite books in return.

Now I am sorry you misunderstood, but I personally find your language and communication style to be abusive, so I am going to block you.

I hope you have a pleasant morning/day/evening.

it was in reference to the point that this is not new. yes

What point?

you are correct in that it is not a direct source

Or a source at all.

but instead i took it as a chance to recommend one of my favorite books

Oh…

“Calvin and Hobbes” - Bill Watterson

Am I doing it right?

Call me sceptical but I doubt a fiction book published ~120 years ago predicted the recall of 167000 pounds of meat in 2026 and then went further to outline how it was directly related to the recent deregulation by the Trump administration.

Perhaps you’d like to be a little more verbose and expand on this comment?

I’ll be honest with you; I’m inclined to look at it the same way as the person you’re replying to and I’ve yet to see any article attributing this to, or outlining how it’s related to, the recent de-regulation.

Perhaps you could source your claim?

What downvotes?

There’s a whole article about HOAs. Pay especially close attention to the part about common interest developments, that’ll be the reason why HOAs are growing rapidly across the US.

Humans are worse. Dogs, and many other animals, simply follow their instinctive behavior. We, as humans, have the ability to reason and still do all the gross and nasty shit we do.

Online piracy is still incredibly common, accounting for as much as 22% of online traffic during peak times.

While it has declined somewhat overall there’s starting to be a resurgence and the crackdown in 2023 that took down most of the pirating sites just consolidated a lot of it and evolved how people pirate.
