I got ‘soft banned’.
I had stopped commenting on Reddit back in 2022 after receiving warnings on similar topics. Continued to lurk and scroll. Now reddit has an uncloseable popup on web telling me to use the app. So I don’t use reddit.

This is an interesting corollary to the “anything you say can only be used against you in court” adage.
Nah. Not really. Time zones don’t follow state boundaries because they generally follow natural population boundaries.


You’re not wrong (generally speaking, specifically speaking I use the NYT rent vs. ownership calculator to see if it’s worth buying or investing in the sp500)
But the problem here is entirely the lack of flexibility. Once an employer knows you are less flexible than the guy in the next cube, you’re picking up the slack of the guy that can up and move his ass to the next town over in a week.


All this cybertech looks cool as hell until your eyeball cooling drivers crash and your optic processing unit hits 100C like my GPU.


Yep!
And as cameras get smaller, pretty soon any glasses will be suspect, meaning that those that need vision correction without being able to wear contacts for whatever reason will also end up lumped in with the creeps.
This is like Batesian mimickry but stupid.


Sit and do nothing.
Money is an abstraction of time and resources. If you are interested in investing time and resources, your only option is to wander off, come back later, and hope that the problem fixes itself.
Without dogging too far, it seems like the law is broadly worded enough to open the door for all sorts of SLAPP-type takedowns, a bit like how DMCA is weaponized against people that don’t have armies of lawyers.
Also, the other source (not the bill itself, mind you, so might be wrong) says “digitally generated”, not “AI generated”, which could be stretched to apply to any image manipulation, like cropping.
Then of course there’s the question of reliably differentiating between AI and non-AI. Which basically means whoever has the biggest legal cannon to fire at the other guy wins.
