  • US Senator moves to file Section 230 repeal

  • Yeah, we need to be careful about distinguishing policy objectives from policy language.

    “Hold megacorps responsible for harmful algorithms” is a good policy objective.

    How we hold them responsible is an open question. Legal recourse is just one option. And it’s an option that risks collateral damage.

    But why are they able to profit from harmful products in the first place? Lack of meaningful competition.

    It really all comes back to the enshittification thesis. Unless we force these firms to open themselves up to competition, they have no reason to stop abusing their customers.

    “We’ll get sued” gives them a reason. “They’ll switch to a competitor’s service” also gives them a reason, and one they’re more likely to respect — if they see it as a real possibility.

  • Conservatives fashion themselves as the ones who are willing to make the hard choices — to look at the facts and choose whatever will be more productive in the long run, even if it means some short-term sacrifice or discomfort.

    But time and time again, it seems what they actually mean by “hard choices” is just… making things harder, with no real plan for why except that “that’s how I like it”.

  • Nothing more American than a company that guzzles down taxpayer funds via police budgets and exploits brown laborers abroad, all to build a product that’s primarily used to harm brown laborers domestically. I think I hear a red-tailed hawk screeching in the distance.

  • Many Fighting Climate Change Worry They Are Losing the Information War

    Jump

  • You basically see two pro-fossil fuel campaigns on social media:

    • In right-leaning spaces, they say “climate change is a hoax, wind turbines kill birds”
    • In left-leaning spaces, they say “we’re all doomed, it’s already over, just give up”

    It’s an extremely dangerous two-pronged assault, because any information at all can be catalyzed into inaction:

    • “Things are getting worse” can be treated as confirmation of propaganda efforts or confirmation that we’re screwed
    • ”Things are getting better” can be treated as admission of overreacting or dismissed as “too little, too late”

  • AI vendors and AI-based companies are taking advantage of an often-overlooked asymmetry in how value and risk work.

    MBA brain thinks: task makes us $500, has a 1% chance of making a mistake that costs us $200. So expected value is: 500-200x0.01, or $498. So if I can use AI to do task twice as fast, it’s all upside!

    Reality is: value-adds tend to be situational, and risk tends to be systemic. If you do task x2, you might not see any actual extra profit as a result — due to dependencies, diminishing returns, and maybe supply and demand, that value might just fizzle out.

    But if you make a small mistake, and then someone else makes a small mistake while building on top of your work, and so on… that risk compounds quickly and spirals out of control.
