i mean, the web server in question is the Go standard library. if there is a vuln in there we have bigger problems, considering it's also used by the docker binary.
there were so many fucking ads online in the late 90s
and you couldn't block them because they were either served from the same domain or used the same plugin as the content and it was an all-or-nothing thing
all those goddamn blinking gifs with "click here" and "you're our millionth visitor", and the pop-ups, and the flash bars with "shoot the ducks"...
i mean it was still awful, but it was awful as a movie rather than as a statement, which is what people were complaining about before release. it had no statement, becaise it was like 90% ad-libbed
no that matters a lot. if it's imessage only it makes sense but if it's a combination of mms/rcs/imessage, someone is going to get images consisting of like four total pixels.
let's just blame my use of "conflating" on ESL and move on.
i think the two things you are saying follows are actually two different ideas converging. it's worth keeping an eye on, but as i said i don't believe it to be a linear relationship. people have been falling in love with robots since before they could express themselves, no slippery slope needed. so i don't think that's the sticking point.
ELIZA is a chatbot from the 1960s that people fell in love with despite it only replying to things like "i am thinking about
<x>
" with "what do you think about
<x>
?". your order of events is backwards, which is why i need a citation that it works the way you say.
you're talking about the ELIZA effect, named after it, but conflating two things: ascribing human characteristics to a machine, and assuming that humans with machine characteristics are the same thing. which is a bit ableist.
