What if I photoshop my crush's face onto a naked body? Wouldn't that be similar to having a personal deepfake?

I agree with the person you're replying to, you can't stop people doing these things in the privacy of their own home and these deepfakes are functionally similar to other photo / video editing techniques.

_Distributing_ those photoshops / deepfakes is another thing entirely though, and one I am fully against.
> A) A coping mechanism for people who don’t want to do the work required to succeed.

That’s some confirmation bias I think.

How many people grow up like that and never get out of it? Is it just because they are all weak willed?

Some of them certainly, but not all of them. I think you need the right combination of both will and circumstance to improve.

Isn’t it just purely sad that some people will never improve because they just haven’t been born with that drive?
A favorite part of mine:

Ron: Frequently people would come up to me and ask me, “Do you work here?”

And I’d just tell them no.

And they’d say, “Oh, that means you’re a contractor.”

And I’d say, “Actually, no.”

Then they’d say, “But then who’s paying you?”

And I’d tell them no one.

Then they’d ask, “How do you live?”

I’d say, “I live simply.”

And then they’d ask me, “What are you doing here?” And I’d give them a demo.

Oh wow, such an insightful comment! I'm cured! /s
Well this makes me feel silly for renting a private master bedroom+bath in a shared house in NoPa for $2k :) granted I love the location and convenience of it.

Maybe I should start looking around for these rent controlled places…
I’m always skeptical of phrases like “true motives”.

Sometimes people can do the wrong thing for the right reasons, or totally amorally. There doesn’t have to be a secret agenda. Framing things in terms of shadowy cabals that hide their secret motivations weakens the argument and reduces odds of successful resistance to these programs by misunderstanding the opposition.
How about if militia isn't relevant to the security of a free state? The US has had a standing army for quite some time now, and by far the most powerful one in the world. And the only thing that looks like a "well regulated militia" is the National Guard.

The second amendment could be interpreted as meaning that only members of the national guard can own guns, but it's not.
Throughout most of the USSR at the time, there was actually comparatively very little violent crime, including child kidnapping. Kids roamed freely.

It is just as well, because USSR preceded USA and Europe by a few decades to have BOTH parents work and thus the actual neglect of the kids began. Under socialism this was “emancipation of women” and proceeded also in Muslim countries like Uzbekistan, where women now worked all day in the same professions as men. Socialists were far ahead by decades in this regard.

But of course, this leads to a generation of kids who grow up without any parents most of the time, and raised by the state and the street — it is also what we have in the USA now too. The only difference is that most people work for large corporations instead of socialist cooperatives or government jobs:

I'm usually alarmed by this and against, but Trump did prove out to be a colossal clown?
Let them have it. Complete and absolute control over all citizens. Nothing more, nothing less. Then what? They will finally realise absolute power is an empty pursuit that brings nothing but misery for both the masses and the so called elites.

False leaders have no place leading anyone as they lead through fear and insecurity. Their lack of trust cemented in incompetence, arrogance and hubris leads to a neurotic chase for absolute and utter control over everything and everybody. How empty that path must be... and deemed for nothing but failure.

True leaders inspire through visions for the future and they will eventually rise to lead. A true leader inspires action and trust, unity and purpose. True leaders are instinctually acknowledged by everyone, are accountable to everyone and value responsibility over personal power. Maturity, good character and wisdom is naturally part of their character.

Hardly anything resembling a true leader can be observed in the current political space... and that speaks volumes to the state of our society.

Here comes the change, unexpected and imminent, to sweep away all falsities and reveal the truth.
The trouble with "The police aren't your friends" crowd is they always seem to think the the police's boss is their friend when in reality, the government isn't your friend in general and the police are merely the enforcement arm of said government. Elect the same people for 50 years and let them get away with blaming their underlings if you want, but you are just being a useful idiot. The much lauded "social services" also played a role in making this happen, so "defunding the police" probably results in exactly the same outcome.
The goons will come and harass you if you are inconvenient or a threat to the ruling class, even if you are complying with all existing regulations. This happens in every country and region.

For the common man non-compliance is the only non-violent way to preserve his rights or exercise freedom. You can do it successfully if you are smart and agile.
Belief that hateful rhetoric is one-sided on the internet — and does not target the aforementioned groups — is a fascinating case of bias that deserves some research of its own.
GPT-3 and SEO: What is the future of content creation?
There is no need to pretend. People with power want more power. As a thought exercise consider how you would arrange the world were you in a position to do so and try to determine placement of structures that could undermine your benevolent rule. Freedom of speech is such a structure. It is not really a paranoia if there are people out there working on just that. Now, just because there are also fellow travelers who truly believe 'for the children' cry, that is quite another and separate conversation.
"Fraud" is deception employed in order to take something of value from someone else. I don't see how this could be considered fraud.
The harsh reality could be that they are not happy with the op and their performance, and in a cowardly fashion not expressing it honestly to them. That could be the case and it could be worth introspecting on that.
I could browse this very website for a few minutes and probably find examples of those things.

To validate your gut feeling here, it is very strange for a manager to stop having 1:1s with their reports just because the team has a new lead.

As others have said, your best option is to do two things at once: look around, and voice your concerns.
You clearly don't like the environment; even in this market, there are lots of other options; why not explore those options? Reach out to friends, ex-colleagues, whatever.

In the meantime, make it clear that you feel unsupported and unrecognised, and that these are dealbreakers for you if not fixed quickly and decisively. If your manager doesn't listen, set up a skip-level meeting. If your skip-level doesn't listen, well, that's an even better sign that you should be planning your exit. If either of them do listen, you have a strong chance of either a) getting a raise and renewed support or b) understanding the situation better (which, though it doesn't always solve the situation, can remove some stress / toxicity from it.)

If you feel you deserve the lead role, say that directly! Provide evidence to support your position - not just technical things you've built / shipped, but also (especially?) anything where you've helped organise work for others, or communicated changes outwards, or worked with Product / Design effectively, etc.

As a small counterpoint: if you feel that you've been doing an extraordinary amount of effort, and they just cut a bunch of people, it may be that the team does need an extra person! No one should be in the position of needing to put in extraordinary effort for 3 years. For the vast majority of people, that leads to burnout; this is especially true in the stressful environment of mass layoffs, where people are often asked to do extra work to cover for their coworkers who were fired.
I didn't meant to call Ph.D. student slaves, I'm just trying to point out that by your definition even slaves are not free labour, which I think we all agree is wrong. I just couldn't think of another situation where people aren't getting paid, but in retrospect I guess volunteers would have been a less insulting example and convey my point better.

FWIW, I'm not giving anyone the benefit of the doubt. I'm simply withholding judgment, which (hopefully) is more neutral.

> an actually good VC/Chat solution

For actually good, collaboration isn't limited to video chat. In particular, live collaboration on content is key. In an office, for office workers, turns out that's mostly Word, Excel ...

Devs don't realize this, because Git. But in office land, that was not really a solved problem. Places have nasty "Drive G" NAS solutions, with nasty permissioning management (or office gives up and gives everyone permission to everything).

Teams "Files" tab converges that, as does the Share icon, to where you're not "presenting your screen" to collaborate on the content, you can actually launch everyone's native PowerPoint or Word or Excel, see everyone's icon and cursor, and genuinely collaborate in real time on the content. Permissions are managed by Team and Channel, which make sense to everyone. Behind the scenes, all content access and permissions changes are fully audited, so the experience is fully compliant.

These things make it "actually good" for role based access to regulated compliant collaboration.

For years the US government has attempted to limit the use (and 'export') of strong encryption protocols like PGP using the argument that they should be treated as munitions. The case against Zimmermann in the early 1990s regarding his posting of PGP to a Usenet site, and the eventual decision by the US government not to proceed with the case, is illustrative. Here's an excerpt from the statement by lawyer on the case. It's from over two decades ago, but still worth reading (the laws have been relaxed somewhat since then, but it's not really clear how far):

http://dubois.com/No-prosecute-announcement.txt

> "Now, some words about the case and the future. Nobody should conclude
that it is now legal to export cryptographic software. It isn't. The
law may change, but for now, you'll probably be prosecuted if you break
it. People wonder why the government declined prosecution, especially
since the government isn't saying. One perfectly good reason might be
that Mr. Zimmermann did not break the law. (This is not always a
deterrent to indictment. Sometimes the government isn't sure whether
someone's conduct is illegal and so prosecutes that person to find out.)
Another might be that the government did not want to risk a judicial
finding that posting cryptographic software on a site in the U.S., even
if it's an Internet site, is not an "export". There was also the risk
that the export-control law would be declared unconstitutional. Perhaps
the government did not want to get into a public argument about some
important policy issues: should it be illegal to export cryptographic
software? Should U.S. citizens have access to technology that permits
private communication? And ultimately, do U.S. citizens have the right
to communicate in absolute privacy?"

> "There are forces at work that will, if unresisted, take from us our
liberties. There always will be. But at least in the United States, our
rights are not so much stolen from us as they are simply lost by us. The
price of freedom is not only vigilance but also participation. Those
folks I mention in this message have participated and no doubt will
continue. My thanks, and the thanks of Philip Zimmermann, to each of
you."

One obvious concern about this move in the EU is that they'll try to criminalize the use of cryptography again.
> It's obvious that Killingly cops are just bored assholes on complete power trips

I thought this was going to be about various killings by cops, but it turns out to be a place name.

Anyway, this is the hugely attenuated white version of what confrontational policing gives America. I suspect if you went looking for anecdotes involving black children you might find far worse outcomes. Nobody in this story spent even a whole night in jail! Nobody was injured! Nobody had to pay bail fees! No property damage by police! They didn't even shoot the dog.
> every single line that you write in all kinds of messaging apps (including encrypted services), your e-mails — yes, all of this — can be filtered out ...

how exactly will this work?
230 only protects services.

If you run your own server, good old copyright and slander rules apply. I’d rather the internet fully decentralize. People could have “home pages” they serve off $35 home servers. At this point some sort of software defined overlay network would probably be needed, since ISP networks are designed to block such things.

Anyway, I’d prefer they repeal the entire DMCA instead of just the half that protects the tech industry and consumers.

How come? Take Zuckerberg. He's the son of a dentist and a psychiatrist. Upper-middle class for sure. He will have better dice rolls in life than the son of a window cleaner from Queens, but he'll have about the same rolls as the sons of millions of other dentists and doctors and lawyers and senior software engineers. Still, he became a billionaire by the time he was 30, while most of his peers were lucky if they became millionaires by the same time.

But I know a lot of people who claim that Zuckerberg was just a lucky guy.
> How to handle this situation best?

You haven't explained what you'd like to see change. What are you after exactly? A raise? Higher social standing within the company?

When you know what you want to change, you'll be in a position to consider how feasible that change will be based on your 3 years of experience at the company.

If your desired changes are not feasible, I'd say find another position immediately.

Actually, I'd suggest doing that regardless of how feasible the changes will be. It's a lot easier to negotiate with another job offer on the table. If you can't find another offer, then you may have to re-evaluate your asks.

> We certainly need decentralized systems that cannot be controlled by EU, US, or any government/entity.

I used to think this way, and still do to a degree... but it's not enough. The idea of zero trust as an absolute is flawed, because if the adversary is your own government they will just keep shifting targets. Lets play this out:

1. Gov start monitoring all proprietary messaging platforms and services. So lets assume that in response, decentralised FOSS based e2e encrypted private messaging services flourish, and everyone actually adopts them... All proprietary messaging platforms/services die off. Great, what next?

2. Now gov mandate that all hardware must have have backdoors to circumvent those measures. So lets assume in response, consumer hardware transforms into IBM PC style open standard and people start assembling their own smart phones and tablets out of interchangeable components so that they can avoid those pesky backdoor chips... and miraculously everyone does this and proprietary handset manufacturers all die off. Now what?

3. Gov mandate all fabs must etch an additional microcontroller onto every CPU/microcontroller with > n gates, with full memory and network access. Do we all start running local fabs in our basement?

Hopefully you get my point, the reality is that there is friction in both directions and neither end has absolute power, but we must push back against policies like this to prevent erosion of our values, do not "give them an inch" so to speak. We cannot trust all of society, but we also cannot afford to not trust civilisation in it's entirety, it's just not possible, we cannot build our own computers out of sticks and mud.

If you want an example of what a technological arms race with your own government looks like, it's happening in China right now. They aren't even fighting for privacy, they are fighting to just communicate and access information freely.
Seems more likely that fewer humans are labeling speech used to describe these groups as hateful.
Compared to the number of hateful things about Muslims/democrats/gays/blacks? Yes.

I’d be actually shocked to find out the reverse. A good percentage of the US were born up in an era where you could legally bar people based on their race from your establishment. The extremely heated fight over gay marriage is still fresh in people’s memory. Trans rights are a controversial political issue where many mainstream politicians want to legislate them out of public spaces, because of public sentiment. And for the left/right leaning question, In the last two major elections we’ve seen the political discourse even of republicans politicians and leaders is comparatively charged with violence.

The hate is definitely there against the republicans and mainstream groups, but I would expect it to be relatively uncommon compared to the hateful text you can find online about other groups. This could be a real problem for novel kinds of hate speech.

I quickly grabbed the numbers from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_income_in_the_United_..., where I just copied the number from the "W-2 Median Wages" graph, however I have no idea what W-2 is so that might explain why so many people are saying I'm wrong.
Also I used "real wages" which seems to be corrected for inflation rather than the actual numbers.
