> Woke is a specific ideology

No, its not.

> that it places every individual into a strict hierarchy of oppressor/oppressed according to group racial and sexual identity

Not only is that not “woke”, its not any left leaning ideology, nor is it an ideology, AFAICT, that in any meaningful sense actually exists. Its an idea that if anyone actually held it (rather than it being a right-wing projection of the left-of-their-fantasy) would be radically opposed to actual left/progressive ideas like intersectionality.

"Woke" is a state of awareness (particularly, pragmatic rather than abstract awareness) of structure/institutional racism (primarily and originally) and inequity more generally (in the newer and broader sense.) It doesn't particularly correspond to a particular normative view of how society should be, so its not an ideology (concern for it correlates historically with a variety of different ideologies, whose only really common factor is general opposition to structural racism but with lots of different normative ideals, and views of praxis of change.)

> It rose to prominence in American culture from around 2012, starting in universities.

“Woke” originated in the 1930s, and its evolutions and spread in the 2010s started in the black activist community, not universities. By the late 2010s, the political Right adopted it as a generic term for everything they oppose, basically a rhetorical drop-in for their long-time favorite of “political correctness”. Your description seems typically of attempts to try to retroactively justify the right-wing use of the term as referring to a phenomenon that is both new and real rather than an empty epithet, despite the fact that the actual use is generally in contexts of right-wing complaints that haven’t changed for about 5 decades, except literally the substitution of “woke” for “politically correct”.
I also got quite disillusioned a few times and I probably will again. What helped me regain a bit of hope again was looking at what the open source community is up to (stuff like sourcehub instead of Github for example). I get joy from moving away from big monopolistic orgs to smaller projects, it feels quite liberating. Recently I also moved away from vscode back to vim and that has been fun to even if vim requires a bit more work. There is something freeing about using a different paradigm, one that isn’t so obsessed about reach and usability but instead on expressability and growth. It reminds me of the internet I used to love rather than the one I grew to hate. Maybe that will help you a bit as well?
Sometimes I think about how fucked the world would be if we approached all industries the way (say) photographers, authors or recording artists did.

For a start, maybe i would get paid every time my clients posted some snaps of their house online, or invited someone over for dinner. (Mind you, we are well aware at this point that 99% of all architecture is derivative. So maybe I would just have to pay it on to Aalto's estate.)

Imagine if chefs started suing people for posting pics of their dinner online, or the police turning up at your doorstep to prosecute you for cooking an unlicensed meal from a turned recipe.

> if a one page description could equally well be used to describe both works

lots of disney animations could've been described this way. And it's because they took storylines from well known folk tales and adapted it.

the idea of a teen wizard/witch going to a special school, fighting a villain, etc, doesn't seem to be copyrightable. While the russian ripoff version seems very similar and skirt the line between a copy and an original work, there's plenty of room where such a story could've been told and not be an infringement.
Honestly, I wish I could. Given, it's anecdotal, but even in my comparatively educated and aware social bubble, anybody who isn't directly involved in tech just glazes over when I start to talk about it privacy and surveillance, government or commercial. They are all against it theoretically, but it's just too abstract for them to practically reason about out of context and doesn't have negative effects on them that they are aware of yet, so it's just too easy to shrug off. I just can't see regular people pushing back against that any time soon.

> direct and obvious first-order effect from a device that's literally in their hands 16 hours of the day,

This is the core of the issue. You are right that none of the examples I gave are definitive first-order causes of a suicide trend (nor do I believe they are, I see any specific cause as only a part of more complicated situation). And it's exactly the same with smartphones: you assume it's a first-order effect through circumstancial observations, but I'd argue that's just your personal bias, and we have no effective tools to split the different.

To step back, the starting point of this was whether we could just randomly blame smartphones just before they became popular following the trend. There's just so many other things, including the technical evolutions that allowed smartphones to get popular in the first place, the social changes that also happen as we get a more global society etc.

And I also see a difference between saying "it's the smarphones!" and "it's social media!" (getting rid of smartphones doesn't delete social media)

You (and the author) seem to assume that because other people aren't coming up with random guesses that look convincing, your own random guess has suddently extra weight and validity. My opinion is a random guess is still a random guess, what I'm trying to argue would be that there's probably a lot more to this than a single cause, and if it really was mainly the smartphones front and center, we'd have seen specific issues way before 2010, especially in SEA for instance.
Personally, my workplace is now a terrible place to work since the pandemic. It was fine before when I had my desk with my cabinet and all my stuff there, and my colleagues were sitting right beside me. I actually enjoyed going there and I felt at home.

We're now supposed to hotdesk, using a terribly designed booking system (Planon) that people routinely ignore, sparking many conflicts. It doesn't do things that could actually be useful like to allow you to find colleagues wherever they may be or try to suggest similar roles to sit together.

The desks are now include a variety of useless types like some with bean bags or 'creativity pods' with funky colors but almost no desk space to actually work. Most of them are just a way to inflate the desk count because they can be squeezed into corners not big enough for an actual workspace.

We only have a tiny locker, sometimes so high up you can't see in or so close to the floor we have to sit on the floor to access it. Half the desks have non working screens or docks that aren't being fixed, we're now supposed to bring our own cable locks, mugs, headsets etc and no longer have floors dedicated to departments. So us IT people trying to concentrate are sitting beside sales goons loudly screaming into the phone all day.

To make matters worse, the Spanish government decided that the Aircon may not be lower than 27 degrees Celsius which in fact is so hot that it violates their own labor safety laws. It's literally a sweat shop.

All in all it's really a terrible place to be now and only the hipsters from HR actually like going there to what they call the modern workplace. I'm sure it's because they're not actually working anyway because they sit around chatting all day.

The company is saying we must return to the office to maintain the feeling with the company. Well I'm feeling something alright. We clearly are only there to make their hipster office look busy so I view the company with the same disgust as they apparently do us.

I wonder if it's the same in all companies. I'm not leaving because I have to give up a lot of security and my current boss is luckily ignoring that push to return to the office a bit.

Probably the biggest celebrity death of the pandemic, IMO. I believe it was on the nyt front page.
Workloads and working hours have increased due to not having to commute. There's no way I could return to the office without having to do less work because I'd have to factor in commute times which leaves less time to do actual work. I think management has factored this in and realizes remote work is a net positive even if there are some downsides.

We now have Enduring Power of Attorney and Enduring Guardian delegated to each other plus two other well trusted people, one local and one distal, jointly and severally; and set up our wills.

A random John has a much better track record of getting the result right instead of making it all up.

And you can tell John to be extra careful (in fact, if he has a bit of experience, you won't have to tell this either) and he will be. While if you tell the LLM to be extra careful, it may track intermediate steps better or just make some other answer up.

And yeah, this is very likely intrinsic to the architecture we use on our LLMs.
Shocked is a word much overused here on HN.

However, I have been kinda shocked to see Sam Altman up in front of the government, fear mongering and advocating for licenses for developing AI.

It feels like a real betrayal of .... I don't know what, but it sure feels like he's selling out a generation of startups by trying to gain control over AI only for companies granted "licenses" by government.

Since he is presumably still a member of this HN community, maybe he will come here and answer our questions and justify his stance, which has the appearance of being extremely self serving.

If you have a question or comment for Sam, post it here, maybe you'll get a response.

> Good argument, especially since many intangible goods, such as MP3 files, are non-rivalrous and non-excludable.

so the deeper question is 'what does it mean to own something'.

For a physical good, it's fairly straight forward.

For a digital good that can be copied infinitely and perfectly, it's not. The current definition of ownership seems to be broken down into a set of "rights". Sharing it with somebody else is one such right.

So when you purchase an mp3 off a store, you're purchasing not the ownership, but the rights to listen to it. More importantly, you're not purchasing the rights to share it with somebody.

But the idea of the song - whatever that might be - is not a right given to the owner to be sold (at least not currently). Therefore, someone who purchased the right to listen to the song _should_ be allowed to learn the idea of the song, and reproduce the idea in another form.

Am I the only one who (mostly) likes this new policy? I actively try to delete my online accounts—and it's _hard_ (or impossible for some companies).

I definitely have some Google accounts from like 10 years ago that I lost access to. I'm glad to know they'll be deleted.

That being said, 2 years does seem a little short.

But, I do like the idea of my data expiring. It seems creepy as hell that someone could go back 10 years and dig up a bunch of information about you that you forgot existed: blog posts, comments, photos, videos, emails, home addresses, phone numbers, credit cards.

Data breaches happen. Data brokers find your stuff. Stalkers exist.

I disagree. Although I have extreme cynicism so far, I am far from making a long term conclusion.

I think it's a hugely contemporary disease to expect short term results to indicate long term value, something tech in particular has made us totally wildly out of touch on. We have had two or three decades of ongoing massive tectonic shifts, and seem huge new entities arise, and I strongly feel this view has dis-tempered our expectations & realism about growth.

Worse, when there is a huge movement, when something is so ballyhooed & hype trained, the expectations are all the more wild.

I really think block chain has been utterly unable to show it's value, has failed miserably to even try to establish use cases or flows to express it's value on. But even still, after all this time, even while being a huge cynic of what's happened, I'm not going to deny that there are possibilities out there. That we did get so hyped, that the cryptocoins hype train so dominated took away the creative energy, stole the nutrients that real value might have used to establish itself & grow.

It's hard to imagine how we can get out of such deeply intermediated ridiculously centralized & incredibly costly & inefficient forms of block chains. But it's also not my field & I still easily can believe these are great enclaves of stability out there, places of value lurking, waiting to be found. I think in general we radically over dismiss tech as not valuable, if it doesn't meet our hockeystick growth expectations. I've seen web spec after web spec cast aside because only 0.3% of web sites adopted it after 3 or 5 years. I think we really need a radical realignment for how to expect technology adoption to happen. We need to allow ourselves much more Uncertainty about what is happening, and when things do go wrong, that is often less reason to cancel the idea, and more reason to restart the clock from 0, after mis-interpretation.

Because it's an app used to share contact details. If more than half the people can't use it (and the people that can will not have a 100% uptake) there isn't much point in using it. It'll be a novelty for that one time you find someone you can actually use it with.

And Snapchat is one of many messaging apps. Personally I've never used it and I have 6 different chat apps on my phone :) This thing is a really new idea and it only really works if it becomes a standard. People are not going to carry 6 different contact card sharing apps because it'll be a mess.
>if you think the FBI wasting their resources helping Twitter identify terms of service violations is "government censorship" we will never see eye to eye on this issue. It was unusual, but definitely not a constitutional crisis.

No I suppose not. Ask yourself, why would the FBI help Twitter with their terms of service for probably a few years? Why would Twitter charge them for the privilege? Why would they do it right during the run up to an election? They don't do things just because. Why wouldn't it be a more appropriate agency like the FEC or the FCC? Would you feel comfortable if they did similar to NYT, WaPo or Fox articles? Questions everyone should think about as a voting citizen. Our government is only corrupt as we allow it to be; we've allowed a lot in the last 23 years.
