I'm sorry you guys had to go through that.

During the Stockholm terror attack (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Stockholm_truck_attack) I had my first interaction with Facebook's "mark as safe" feature which was pretty dystopian. I quickly figured out that this was an isolated incident, but all subways were shut down so me and a coworker walked homewards together. She was legitimately terrified and I did my best to reassure her it was going to be OK.

Sadly I'm just waiting for another thing to happen, which is more and more likely as obvious agent provocateurs are burning the Quran every chance they get...

oh wow, I was living in Tokyo in 2011 when the earthquake and subsequent tsunami and nuclear plant disaster happened. I think this was the event that led to the creation of the "mark as safe" feature.

Yeah, I'm not mad at FB, I'm mad at a world where this is needed (at least when humnas are doing the bad stuff)

Have you seen the documentary movie All Light, Everywhere? It's a great movie in this vein, and doesn't seem to be recognised as much as it should.

huh, this is actually on my list to watch, but mainly because its soundtrack started playing while I was disastrously high and I’m a big sucker for some Dan Deacon, and also because I really fucking hate Axon

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
