>I'm glad you have done this and I wish more would follow the same course. The more content that becomes unavailable in the UK, the more people might start to pay attention to the stupidity of the law.

The law isn't going to be repealed because a bunch of nerds geoblocked their personal blog.

That is a weirdly aggressive reply.

Do you have proof the person you are replying to is a bot or are you just going on vibes?

Of course they have no proof, and spending 2 minutes looking at my comment history would indicate such.

My fault for reading this article half asleep and wanting to thank Aphyr for their writing. I should have instead written 5 paragraphs pedantically criticizing minor aspects of their post while completely missing the point. Or maybe I should be offering my expert legal advice (I watched Suits once) on the UK Online Safety Act.

His reasoning doesn't seem like a political statement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47754379#47757803

That seems very practical and well-reasoned to me.

The game being successful wasn't luck but it being as successful as it was definately was. Block based games had existed for years before minecraft, I don't think there was any reason to believe that this one in particular was going to explode in 2010.

Requiring someone to have access to another camera is not "theater" if it vastly reduces the liklihood someone will be able to produce a copy.

It gives people a false sense of security. You think the other person can’t copy the photo, but they actually can.

It is odd when people try to put Notch on the level of someone like Carmack. Like because the guy made a billion dollars that means his opinion should be highly valued in perpetuity. He just seems like a fairly average game dev that lucked his way into making Lego 2.

Switching government and deleting google are probably on the same order of magnitude of difficulty for most people.

The movie Perfect Days captures this perfectly.

I would assume writing evolved with humans over many thousands of years and wasn't just some big invention a guy came up with.

Hieroglyphics were probably generated over time (as they’re a simple progression from cave paintings) - but a standardized alphabet has to be, well; standardized by someone at a point in time.

Especially considering Amodei and Altman will be little more than footnotes in 50 years time. They seem important now but they are just the people that happened to be in charge at the moment AI happened to happen. There is more going on than a couple of billionaires taking your job away.
