  • Tautologous

  • Orwell wrote openly about the things he did throughout his life, both in casual letters and widely read short stories

  • Backpack brawl

  • I don't know the answer but my experience with venture capitalists is that they're everything from absolute buffoons to incredibly data-centric in decision making

    So if Y combinator cares about revenue then I think the answer to your question is no, in aggregate, but that's just a guess based on an assumption of information that I don't actually have

  • I agree with you

    I would just say that the incentives aligned in America for law enforcement to choose "predictive policing", whether they call it that or something else

    Personally, I think the black mirror conversation is a false dichotomy and the argument that it only gets worse is a slippery slope fallacy

    Predictive Policing is here if we like it or not, it's not new, the feds have been studying how to profile people since before the web was even a thing

    I do think the Patriot act was an abuse of power and it continues to be abused but I'm not convinced that we're necessarily worse off (tactically speaking), I just think the law should be just and upheld appropriately

  • Some random goon you met in a 5 person discord isn't "astroturfing"

  • I'm an American living in London and I've been extremely impressed by the quality of policing here compared to America. And part of that quality no doubt has to do with the police dealing with overall less severe crime. So I suppose it's a bit circular

    But nonetheless, crime is essentially unsolved in East London and other parts of the country

    So I agree that there's a better version of policing but I reject that the solution to crime is just better police training

    Do you see it as an unsolvable problem?

  • I read them and there were some interesting parts scattered amidst poor journalism and FUD

    Is your position basically just ACAB?

  • I think one of the main points of the outrage is that it makes it more concerning, not less

  • You seem well informed, can you help me understand this a bit? Is this basically just ACAB, so any kind of helping the cops is Bad too?

  • I'm no big balls sympathizer but this is a terrible summary of what he did and didn't do wrong

  • Astroturfing is definitely a thing that exists but what evidence is there that palantir the company is spending resources that way?

    Most companies have marketing and PR departments, not GCHQ and IDF veterans

  • What fantasy are you larping here

  • Coastal vacation 💀

  • Worst advice possible for new investors

  • Sorry I thought this was more common, it's definitely wall Street bets

  • To me, spying and spying on the public en masse are very different things

  • I think we should all care about what misinformation is spread to what people

  • Put me in my place if this is nonsense but doesn't it make way more sense if the astroturfing is done by WSB goons? I just don't see corporate entities coordinating this kind of thing
