There is no such thing as a ban you idiot. You can companies by passing laws.

How the fuck do you think a ban happens?

if the law makes their business not viable it’s a ban. and if all they can do is show ads and not allow people to post BS then they will go away.

you ban them by making good laws that make why they are shit illegal. it’s really not that hard. force them to have validation of political claims. if they don’t then shut them down. not difficult.

i agree the need will be there but banning the ones that exist by coming up with good laws is the point.

force them to verify all political claims. All ads need to have very apparent sources of funding. don’t let legal entities funnel money to pay for anything. not difficult.

just think if the EU banned twitter, facebook, instagram, and the rest. the world might instantly get a little smarter.

The issue is two fold.

First the scope of the project is very important. When I am working on a web app the most complicated project is still 90% boilerplate stuff. You write some RESTful code on some framework using CRUD and make a UI that draws based on data. No matter what you are making, lets be honest, it’s not novel. This is why vibe coding can exist. Most of your unit tests can be derived from the types in your functions. Do a little bit of tracing through functions and AI can easily make your code less fragile.

When you are working on anything more complicated making code better requires you to actually grok the business requirements. Edge cases aren’t as simple. The reasons for doing things a specific way aren’t so superficial. Especially when you start having to write optimizations the compilers don’t do automatically.

The second issue is learning matterial. The majority of the code we write is buggy. Not just in range testing but in solution to problems. There is a reason why we don’t typically write once and never go back to our code.

Now think about when you, as a human, go back over old code. The commit log and blame usually don’t give a great picture of why the change was needed. Not unless the dev was really detailed in their documentation. And even then it requires domain knowledge and conceptualization that AI still can’t do.

When teaching humans to be be better at development we suck at it even when we can grok the language and the business needs. That is a hurdle we still need to cross with AI.

As an 80s kid who saw the originals at way too young of an age by renting the VHS next to Critters and The Garbage Pail Kids, this movie was not too bad of a remake. Yeah its a little toned down but i think it was just the right amount of campy. All the little off screen comments were great. Toxie was the character to reboot that no one would care about enough to say this ruined childhood memories.

they sent us a big box of CDs to the CS department an uni. ran it as a daily driver for a semester.

and knowing russians, he won’t even respond to actions. they will need to remove him by force.
