Realistically what is the worst thing China is doing with your private data? Selling it? If you’re not a Chinese National, at least you don’t fall under their jurisdiction.

If you’re a U.S. citizen, with all the tech oligarchs cozying up to the current administration, I’d be a lot more concerned with Facebook/Twitter/Etc collecting your data.

For me, a browser being a crypto shill is worse than just being a privacy concern. Crypto facilitates an absurd amount of scams, and is also awful for the environment.

Yeah the article doesn’t mention any actual use cases, which means they could be using it for anything from generating basic scripts to automate simple tasks (fine) to using it to replace voice actors (very bad).

Just saying that X percent of companies use AI in some capacity really does not mean much.

Lukewarm take: mods had valid grievances, but were dumb as fuck to unilaterally make a major decision without even consulting the community beforehand, which is definitely worse imo.

It reminds me of so many subreddits where overactive mods decide they know what’s best for their subreddit and impose rules that would never pass a basic yes/no poll, demonstrating they don’t actually care about the community. Mods are supposed to be janitors (not an insult, just statement of fact), but too often act with the presumed arrogance of “leaders”.

Edit to add: this is what the mods should have done:

  1. Make a stickied thread with examples of users being banned or comments being removed unjustly
  2. Ask users if the above justifies moving to a new host, and if so ask which one

It’s that simple

“Wei Wu” has an avatar that looks like it was AI generated, not to mention they’re verified on twitter and they talk exactly like a western person doing a Chinese caricature. Seems fake too me.

I stg every time UFO Reddit gets worked up, it ultimately has the most mundane explanation which everyone forgets as soon as the next thing comes up.

Cryptocurrencies: higher transaction fees, slower transaction times, and zero consumer protections compared to just using a credit card.

On the other hand, crypto is also terrible for the environment.

Republicans love to forget that as governor, Reagan was very pro gun control when black people started arming themselves.
