There are so many speech restrictions and humans rights violations in China that scare the hell out of me, but then I see rulings like this and their progress on robotics and tech and I think “Well, they are doing something right…” I hope one day there is more free speech for people in China who deserve to be able to say what they want.

It’s a great ruling because companies that would normally favor efficiency and profit increases are in a better position to take these existing workers and utilize them in different ways than just have everyone fired en masse and then somehow the market will sort it out. Even under classical economic theories, governments are supposed to regulate externalities and AI displacing workers too rapidly could be considered a type of externality.

Thanks Vercel Security Checkpoint! You’ve saved the Internet yet again!

That’s the real question: is coding protected speech?

Tornado cash started this. A fucking github repo was criminalized for just being code that wasn’t executed. This is what happens from not fighting that.

If we can criminalize code or legislate what code is allowed and what code isn’t, than computer code is not protected speech. And that’s a horrible situation.

I disagree with all of you. Now that our benevolent theocratic autocratic overlords have decided to track everything we say and do and escape is impossible, I completely support their brave new dystopian agenda. All hail the wonderful leaders!

I’ll admit to being one of those people. I’m always a bit biphobic of new bisexual people unless they end up fucking me.
