Never got banned for it, though my "rotations" tend to be "a few weeks every year".
even if they did ban me: the account was going to be deleted in a short while regardless. So that fear isn't present for what's essentially a longer lasting throwaway.
What do you expect? That people who shove their head in the sand, cover their ears and go "I had nothing to do with this" are suddenly going to wake up and grow a conscience that will threaten their ability to feed themselves?
That people so distant from the decision makers who executed this are going to lose even a night's sleep over it?
That they'll cast themselves on their knees with their cell phone in hand and ask for forgiveness; it was never supposed to be like this?
Not how the world works, friend, though imagine how much nicer a world it would be if it were that way... One can dream I suppose.
The best they could come up with in that they aren't doing enough to investigate/combat this? Or that this isn't worth investigation in the first place?
It's not really worth investigation. All the current headlines around this event boil down to a single source report from a litigous activist organization that only claims "anonymous sources".
No corroborating IG investigations or official reporting or even FOIA suits/events, which a serious external investigation would use.
That doesn't make it impossible, just heavily unlikely. Furthermore, it has all the hallmarks of an unsourced smear campaign then used as a convenient 'source' for sensationalist reporting. If the average HN reader were to inspect that source, I exepct they would see the lack of investigative rigour and wonder how the word "source" could even come into consideration here.
The MRFF is saying they got hundreds of complaints. Seems reasonably plausible this actually happened. And given this administrations track record it's not exactly a stretch.
Absolutely agree, when we got our last junior one and a half year ago. He started with using AI for... Everything. If you told him research this and that topic and ways to do X and y and if it's possible. He just used AI which missed half the steps and information.
I'm not against research with AI. But using a search engine helps you go through a railway basically and helps you gather information step by step and you have time to notice it something is missing.
With AI you don't have the mental pause to process the information.
