Not even comparable. The problem isn’t that Isis video are being looked up or are being missed from being removed in a timely fashion. It’s that their reckless poorly written algorithms are suggesting Isis videos after people look at unrelated topics. It’s not the content gatekeeping as the sole issue here, it’s that algorithms are promoting terrible content that is dangerous because it decided it would keep engagement to sell ads. They control that algorithm, they have responsibility for the content they promote just like a normal publisher can be liable for their content. They crossed the line from host to publisher when they started using algorithms to curate content.

I mean, they do under 230, they absolutely fucking do, until SCOTUS decides they can't

Even pre-230 the algorithm wouldn't be the problem, after all, book stores were not liable for the content of every book they sold, even though they clearly had to decide which books are front facing

The algorithm front facing a video that should be removed is no different than a book store putting a book ultimately found to be libelous on a front facing endcap, the bookstore isn't expected to have actually read the book and vetted its content, merely having a responsibility to remove it should that complaint be made known

The only people that think they are connected to the universe are using hallucinogenics. The universe is under no obligation to cater to us in any way.

We are all machines. We are biological machines, made of meat and chemicals. If an AI made of silicon and wires thinks it is experiencing emotions, that is as valid as an meat based object thinking it is experiencing emotions.

Νο.

Νο one is working on stopping metabolism from creating damage, but instead reversing aging. Whether it's Aubrey de Grey's damage-repair approach, Altos Labs' Yamanaka based cellural reprogramming, etc.

It's called rejuvenation medicine.

very interesting. I always wondered about the hostility towards the quest to defeat aging and thought it was always just the crab mentality of people too afraid to take it but also afraid of being the only aging person in their social circles.

guess this reasoning is more rooted in reality.
