Can already kind of do that with dogs. They’re like a Twister board with big buttons the dogs can push. As you say, not whole sentences but “human, leave, dog, sad” is essentially them learning our language.

Dude, we fed LSD to dolphins then gave them a rub and tug in the name of science…

Okay… And if you stand by your morals, more power to you. For me, it’s a worthwhile trade forfeiting my data (usually anonymised anyways) for the convenience of their free services.

I’m not ignorant. Any one who isn’t aware of where G’s revenue comes from has been living under a rock. The choice is clear, and if Google is making that even more obvious, I think that’s a good thing.

Keep fighting the good fight, but the majority of us will keep using google because these *exclusive scoops shouldn’t be a revelation to anyone.

Well, there are 5 governments you should be concidering. Or is it 8? Might be 12 by now…

Agreed but the puritans that have to give it up before we can expect sites like this to overexpose themselves to legal action.

proofs of idiocy and/or bad faith they offer

I thought it was Clarke since it’s known as Clarketech.

Despite knowing so much more than we did, the ol’ quip holds true,
Anyone who claims to understand quantum physics is either lying or insane.

Can’t deradicalize extremists without engaging them. Not to say where and when that should happen, or that the moral argument is even relevant. As Popper said in the wake of WWII,

If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.—In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant.
