To an extent, I agree, but it depends on what you're doing.
A CNC can get accuracies and scale that's hard to reproduce by hand. Also, a lot of hand tools can be very hard on your joints.
Once that slippery layer on your bones between the joints is rubbed down, it never comes back and then you have painful arthritis for the rest of your life, so anything you can do to avoid grinding your hands down, you should do.
>My biggest issue with Twitter is the lack of moderation, theres SO much propaganda on there.
Yes and no. There's too little moderation in some areas and way too much in other areas.
If you follow conservative politics, someone can say something like "men are women are biologically different" and they'll have their account banned for a catch-all "hate speech" violation. Meanwhile, someone can say "Trump should be assassinated", and get thousands of retweets and no administrative action.
Case in point, Trump is still banned from Twitter for tweeting "go home in peace and love", yet Putin, the leader of a country we're currently in a proxy war against, still has a verified account.
Bottom line, Twitter is an irredeemable toxic cesspool full of both propaganda and massive censorship.
I think there's actually value in keeping the propaganda but maybe flagging and delisting it. Hell, I think you shouldn't be able to delete either you can maybe add an addendum or follow up for an apology or something but when bad people like Trump and Putin have an easy platform like this it's possible at some point they're going to say the "quiet part" aloud.
Like someone live streaming a crime spree. When it's easier to self incriminate maybe more justice gets met, maybe not.
It's a two edged sword. The best way I think would be use ai to basically score people based on maybe a political compass like with an x and y score then you at least can know a bit about the history and motives of someone.
Plus this would make finding bots easier because if you examine 3 month intervals and someone is top left of political compass then from to bottom right in a wild swing then back to something else it's likely they're playing multiple voices to stir up shit.
Then all your comments have a color or badge representative of your ideals. Could also score things like empathy.
That way also you could have a vote tally that's by side and a unified score.
At least then you kinda know everyone's motives or leanings so you know what to expect. Like I know how convos are going to go when I talk to my right wing family why not normalize knowing how you relate to a perfect stranger based on previous interactions they've had.
Of course this could lead to a dystopian social credit system that would be horrible..
>If you follow conservative politics, someone can say something like "men are women are biologically different" and they'll have their account banned for a catch-all "hate speech" violation.
Weird, I see phrases like this and even some laced with actual hate speech all the time in twitter.
>Bottom line, Twitter is an irredeemable toxic cesspool full of both propaganda and massive censorship.
Damn right in this, they censor the silliest things, but allow even the propaganda that conservatives are censored in twitter.
In Dorsey's own words, he was only one vote on the board, and only had 3% share in the company.
Whether he put 100% of his time into Twitter or 1%, that doesn't change the fact that he had very limited influence over his own company. Twitter's board is what has caused all their problems, often by explicitly rejecting Dorsey's advice.
>The whole region could turn into something like Mexico City (wealthy center protected by police, surrounded by miles of slums and shantytowns). Importantly, people who serve key roles - teachers, service workers, etc.
Mexico City? That's almost every major US city already. Have you been to DC recently? That's it to a T. The government sector is nice, with a little buffer of upper class homes and businesses surrounded by miles of high-crime slums.
What? Which areas are “miles of high-crime slums”? SE DC and parts of suburban Maryland. But the vast majority of the city and suburbs are safe and far from being slums. Look at Arlington, Alexandria, Bethesda etc.
Yeah, this is a problem for a long time on Amazon, especially with a lot of the cheap Chinese stuff posted on there. When some cheap looking product has a dozen reviews all like "very good super high quality!!!!!" you know it's just astroturfing.
It goes far deeper than that. The last time I trusted amazon, I ended up getting a counterfeit book and having to fight tooth and nail to get a refund. This set me down a path of trying to find out how the reviews lied to me and how widespread the issue is. I would see items that had been listed for years suddenly balloon to thousands of 5-star reviews, then disappear. I would see old reviews of a product that were reviewing a completely different product. There is no oversight. Amazon is the house in a a casino where the only rule is that the house always wins.
