  • Why did you feel the need to slander an innocent woman?

    A dad has described the “unbelievable” moment he opened his eyes after suffering a cardiac arrest - and being placed in an induced coma - to see his newborn daughter’s face for the first time.

    When 27-year-old Sam King’s heart stopped at home in Hedge End, near Southampton, he went two hours without a sustained heartbeat.

    His survival is thanks to the actions of his wife, Emma, who was then 39 weeks pregnant, and a team of NHS staff, who continued treating Sam.

    Since then, Sam has experienced a remarkable recovery, and said he first began to show signs he might pull through when he was shown his daughter, Sophie, for the first time, who was born four days after he almost died.


  • I think a good way to handle these might be to get everyone on the plane to start chanting “troll” in unison at her. By doing so:

    • You directly call out the disruptive and bad-faith behavior, rather than attacking them based on their message.
    • You make it so they have no useful footage for their socials. Post a video of one person confronting you? Easy to claim victimhood based on religion. Post a video of a whole plane calling you a troll? You look like the bad guy.
    • You make it a group effort that people can participate in with little risk or effort. It takes much less courage to join a chant of, “troll! troll! troll!” than it does to personally and individually call them out. Plus, chants are just fun.
    • You completely drown them out. Let her bitch all she wants. No one will hear her over a hundred people shouting “troll” in unison.











  • If you’re not willing to fight for your constitutional rights, then you don’t deserve to have them, and you will lose them.

    Whether you think it’s right or not, being able to create nudified images of yourself is a perfectly valid and constitutionally protected action, just like making pornography generally. And any attempt to ban these apps would also restrict numerous other constitutionally protected activities and involve severe violations of privacy.

    If you want to make an actual reply that gets to the core of my argument, rather than just going, “bruh, you think you should be able to rob a bank, no I refuse to actually explain anything, if you don’t get my unstated point, you’re a moron,” then go ahead.

    Constitutional rights are important. You cannot choose to abandon them just because you find one application of them distasteful.

    We can ban AI child porn by just treating it like any other child porn. We don’t try to regulate child porn by outlawing cameras. Go after the actual crime you want to prevent, not the tools that have many legitimate uses.



  • I want to see more people claiming formal religious exemptions to being forced to use AI in the workplace. A good case can at least be made for chat bots.

    Plenty of religions and cultures have held that words are sacred. The universe was spoken into being. Life was breathed into Man. Etc. That’s the tradition I would appeal to.

    If I’m forced to use a chat bot at my work, I’m being forced to have a machine put words in my mouth. Instead of my words representing my own voice, my own, my own soul, a soulless machine speaks for me instead.

    I think it’s perfectly reasonable to refuse to use AI on religious grounds.

    One example where it may be truly revolutionary is astrophysics research. I saw a lecture by an astronomer talking about it. Astrophysics works well with the limitations of AI. A lot of their work is building simplified models to study large complex astrophysical systems. Imagine someone modeling the formation of planets in a circumstellar disk.

    The key is that these are very contained problems. You’re just trying to simulate a little toy solar system. The code can all be completely self-contained and doesn’t need to deeply integrate with tons of other existing software and infrastructure.
