  • Very interesting, I wasn’t aware of specifics. Obviously I don’t think it’s impossible, but I would think that the grand majority don’t, while this bootleg technique would have a higher rate of creating worse problems for people already suffering and essentially sealing their fate.

    We need to tackle big pharma for the problem it is: greed and neglect and I don’t think a pirated solution will make that in any way better for people.

    Maybe it does for some but hurts others worse. Which is the same coin as big pharma but worse for some. That’s my perspective, but I hope that an open-source style solution would gain more traction rather than one that’s essentially just ripped music.

    People deserve to be healthy










  • Beautiful article thanks for sharing.

    This highlights the problem that inherently exists in nature: feedback loops.

    Repeated exposure to similar information or signals amplifies/entrenches existing patterns and can lead to distortion, narrowing frequencies, and reduced adaptability.

    Its why these people turn into racists, sexists, abusers, etc. they get what they want all the time simply because they have money and power and know how to game systems. So they learn on those narrow pathways that they get what they want when they want.

    They learn a reality that doesn’t exist for the greater whole because they themselves are not living as the greater whole does. None of this is rocket science.

    I have to conclude that Extreme wealth threatens the stability of our society. Not arguing for communism or anything else. Every path has its hazards and shortcuts. Just pointing out problems and opening the floor to discussion of the problem and potential solutions





  • All these comments about adblockers - you’re truly naive if you think those are going to last in any capacity.

    Chrome/Edge are already going to be neutering the majority of the functionality with manifest v3.

    Firefox is already starting to see some commercialization/enshitification with this new exec. Adblocker days are numbered. Soon they’ll be streaming the ads in-line with the videos everywhere and you’ll need to have a special hacked up rig just to content filter and be forced to sit in silence for X minutes.

    Just because the problem is at your neighbors house, doesn’t mean it won’t come to yours.




  • No shit, thanks for the snarky comment but ig this is the kind of attention you wanted so here it is

    The argument I was making was that SMS phishing has extremely high rates for hitting the majority of the population. Ai-powered phishing could be pretty dangerous but it’s got a higher barrier of entry for fraudsters.

    That means limited real-world prevalence at this moment and an unaddressed commonality which is dangerous to most American people.
