  • I agree. It is hard, sometimes, to criticize a thing without referencing it. I think the moderators should have the latitude to decide when the value of a critique rises above the cost of presenting the very thing that this community exists to criticize.

    It will be inherently subjective and case-by-case, regardless of how the rule is worded. I think that means our job is to report things we think are wrong, and do our best to trust and respect the moderators who have to make the tough calls.



  • At first, I wondered why Comer would be opposing this sort of oligarchy-engineering. Maybe he’s just sniffing around to get his cut? But it could be Niemöller’s ghost finally rising to a level that reaches Comer.

    And the CEO said:

    • First they came for the artists, and I did not speak out because I have no heart.
    • Then they came for the writers, and I did not speak out because I have no soul.
    • Then they came for the actors, and I did not speak out because I have no emotions.
    • Then they came for the software engineers, and I did not speak out because I have no mind.
    • Then they came for the infosec people, and I did not speak out because I have no wisdom.
    • Then they came for me. And the artists, writers, actors, software engineers, and infosec people laughed derisively at me. So I called James Comer.

    The oligarchs might love this, but the third string C-suite execs that dine with Comer at the finest gas-station barbecue place in Paducah? The AIs have finally come for them.
