Here's Anthropic claiming that Alibaba created 25k free accounts to crawl them: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/06/anthropic-claims-alibaba-defied-trump-to-attack-claude-and-steal-capabilities/

Using that pattern isn't bad, but look at that text: it's totally over-used and the entire post has less substance than timeghost's mockery.

It's quite good for any problem that nobody cares about. For example, if you have a boss who wants hourly status-updates but does not actually read the updates. Or if you need to fill out security forms, but you were going to lie on all the forms and trust that nobody reads them. Or if you get a bonus for writing >100k lines of code, but the code doesn't need to do anything that people want. Or if you need to have someone answer customer-support questions, but it doesn't matter if the customers get helped or are happy.

Yeah, not federating reports is a bug-level missing feature.

But having some kind of probation period also seems like an obvious feature to me (that should be optional, not mandatory). It was not uncommon in the past (on BBSes and old forums) to have new members' posts require approval before anyone could see them. I suspect it partially went away because big platforms needed to "growth hack" and anything that slows down the influx of new users is bad.

The moral isn't the opposite. Toad becomes stressed about all the work that needs to be done tomorrow. He instead gets all his work done pretty quickly, takes the rest of the day off, and resolves to do nothing the next day now that he's more relaxed.

Oh, my bad then. Yes: you were right.

Oh OK. Murdering rich people might effect social change. Though I'm skeptical because not a lot of people actually do it, which is an important component of that change.

I think you still end up coming around in a circle: in your fantasy of mob-justice, what prevents the wealthy from ending up being the ones who control it? (Like Vlad the Impaler!)

Surely the problem with "woke" is that right-wing media grabbed it as a boogeyman and plastered it everywhere, right? I mean, what does it even mean to say "[woke] tried to solve ... issues". It's a word. It doesn't have any agency.

The only definition I've ever heard (because right-wingers don't attempt to define it) is "awareness of systemic discrimination (particularly by the USA towards black americans)". If a handful of people talking about how the USA has some bad history and what that means for the country today... The same people getting their feelings hurt over "woke" are just going to get them hurt over some other word that they make up. Like if nobody had ever heard of "woke" they'd be crying about "diversity" (oh wait they are) or "justice" or "peace" or literally anything because words don't have meaning to that crowd beyond something to get offended over.

I've never encountered a trans person who said "I and only I have ever been treated unfairly." I'm sure someone's said it (the Internet is a big place and full of trolls), but it's a pretty ridiculous thing to say. I recommend that if you ever see it in the future you just shrug at the person who is clearly not speaking in rational good-faith, rather than taking offense.

The question itself self-answers with a little bit of thought: reading the typo as-is doesn't make sense and there's only one obvious correction, which SalmiakDragon provided. So I read their question as more conversation/chattiness rather than genuine confusion. I was replying in kind with an attempt to riff off of my typo: what if the typo was actually intended? Could we find any meaning to the phrase "attach women"? No, not really.

"Exactly as horrible" is unfair to you. But it sounds like you're advocating to give up on rule of law and just have the strongest most violent people be the ones to decide what's right. And I'd argue that you'd just get back to where we are right now: wealthy people would control the system, they'd employ strong violent people to enforce their personal whims as "law", and you'd be complaining that nobody is willing to beat up the pedophile (because his friends would hire goons to kill them).

I mean, presumably that's what's stopping you personally from implementing your own recommendation, right? Because if you showed up and kicked this guy's ass you'd be beaten and arrested by the police.

regular people barely get basic human rights

if you don’t agree with what trans people are saying, they exclude you from their spaces and conversations

This seems to align with what the OP was saying? Regular people barely get rights, trans people ask for those same paltry rights and that's treated as an assault.
