  • Human lives are the most important thing of all. Profits are irrelevant compared to human lives. I get that that's not how Besos sees the world, but he's a monstrous outlier.

  • What topic do you have the most knowledge, and can you explain it so a child can understand it?

  • Thank you so much for taking the time to summarise and explain all this. I have really enjoyed having a little window into your remarkable world.

  • Thank you, that was very interesting. I was surprised at the definition of the basic open sets because they felt quite closed to my intuition, so the topology feels discrete to me. It's definitely Hausdorff, I guess, but that's no big deal. I'm guessing if you're saying it uses a lot of the axioms, it uses the axiom of choice. It feels like that kind of arena, but I'm no set theorist. Having been taught by ring theorists, I always found the axiom of choice no big deal and totally uncontroversial, but I'm aware of the existence of mathematicians who feel otherwise, intuitionists (confusing name) and constructivists and the like. Do set theorists have a lot of debate about axioms, is it largely led by consensus, or deeply controversial, or just a case of making clear which you're using and no one gets excited about it?

  • Let's assume I can prove the countability and non countability of various famous sets and, for example, that (ab)c = a^bc for cardinalities. What's determinacy?

  • Former presenter takes legal action against GB News for unfair dismissal

  • Nah, we all knew very early on that gb news was meant to be the fox news of the UK.

    If you're joining an organisation that took Andrew Neill off the screen in its first week of broadcasting for being too left wing, and replaced him with Nigel Farage, you have to have had your head firmly in the sand if you don't realise they're right wing nut jobs.

  • The upside of that was that it put his fellow conspiritors off trying to follow in his footsteps.

  • If the biometric ID is collected and stored by someone else, not only have I lost my anonymity, I've also lost control of my identity and there's no way for me to stop that happening.

    This is unequivocally bad for privacy.

  • Biounique id is an advertiser's wet dream and I don't think it's theoretically possible to prevent it from being exploited for profiling by Google. If the hashed encrypted token retains the uniqueness then it points to you as an individual across time, devices and location changes. There is no escaping this ID. You can't change it, you can't get a new one.

    Google and other multinational corporations WILL know where you live and can figure out all your personal characteristics with a little time. Your anonymity is gone forever.

    Sam Altman saw the film Minority Report in which iris scanners on holographic billboards trigger the advertisements to address you by name, hampering the escape of the central character who was being set up, and thought "Cool, let's make this. I'm going to be rich! The other dystopian aspects of the film are fiction, but this one I can make real."

  • Scan your biounique eyeball to provide ID whilst retaining your anonymity???

    Anonymity and the ability for someone else to prove it was me are nearly opposites.

  • Why not just not have gaps and have overlaps instead? Works in civilised countries. It's not like the technology doesn't exist.
