It would turn into a prince! An unstable prince of undefined behavior.

That's the thing, though: Removing that mercury filtration system is going to be expensive and require re-certification. There's no point. The price has already been paid.

It's like someone heard that mercury removal from coal power plants costs a lot of money and saves lives so they said to themselves, "saving lives‽ We can't have that! The more people that die from pollution, the better!" And set policy based on that instead of examining the reality of the economics.

I suspect that OpenAI is on a path to spend as much money on data centers and hardware as possible so they can go bankrupt and sell those assets to Microsoft for pennies on the dollar.

It's a scheme to filter billions and billions of dollars around the "AI everything" hype train directly into Microsoft's coffers.

Of all the things... Do they have meetings where they're like, "we're not doing enough pointlessly evil things that have no benefit to anyone!" ‽

I know someone who tried this. Their ghost still haunts the simulation.

Within the browser, it'll work to "protect" your traffic (including DNS) from prying eyes locally. As in, someone on the same network as you or your ISP or whatever networks your traffic passes through to its destination.

Instead, it sends it all to Microsoft Central Data Collection™! By passing all your traffic through Microsoft's central servers, you can rest easy, knowing precisely who is inspecting everything you do (including the US government and the other countries in the Five Eyes network).

Let's be honest: It's yet another unfair transfer of power from local criminals to international ones, increasing the wealth of billionaire pedophiles. Give the locals a chance to rise up, would ya?

Parasite pulled the wool over their eyes.

What's so special about same-sex marriages? I say expand it to include all marriages!

Let us not recognize the unions of conservatives. Clearly, any woman in such a relationship is being held in such a position against her will. Or she's mentally addled somehow and is being taken advantage of.

Yes! Because cyber bullying can only happen on platforms that are designed specifically for adults. By banning children from social networks, we will have completely eliminated the problem and totally not at all created much worse problems like potentially leaking the identities of millions of people and destroying the entire concept of privacy.

When my kids were young, but old enough that they may inadvertently stumble upon porn, I told them the truth. The truth that so few explain to their children. The truth that many adults don't understand and many more completely forget.

Porn is fake.

It's not real. The sounds? Acting. The breasts? Those are fake too. The perfect skin? Makeup (or airbrush).

Even "amateur" porn is fake! As soon as someone agrees to be filmed having sex it ceases to be real.

Also, let me get this straight: Your greatest fear from children being exposed to porn is they might begin to accept mysogyny‽ As in, you think porn is the most likely place kids will be exposed to it and somehow just nod their heads‽ "Oh wow, that's totally sexist! But they're having sex so it must be OK. I'll try to be like that!" (Child nods head).

Or perhaps you think kids will be viewing so much porn—specifically, the mysogynistic kind—that it will somehow carve mysogyny into their minds?

This is so much like the beliefs of conservatives that try to ban books that mention LGBTQ people. Stop and think for a moment: How much porn did you view as a kid? How did that impact your life?

I seriously doubt it changed much. Unless, of course, you were reading Playboy for the articles.
