  • I assume the person who made the video did more than just read the cited papers, but added some of their own analysis and commentary on top. Like, for any paper that cites sources you cannot get the its meaning merely by reading the cited sources. That’s absurd.

    Presumably you thought the video’s content was worthwhile, because you linked it instead of the papers directly (which aren’t even about DND).

    Video is a shitty medium for many use cases, but is popular because it is monetized more, and many people are only semi-literate.


  • On the one hand, omnipresent surveillance is bad and ripe for abuse.

    On the other, I feel like the haphazard and selective enforcement of traffic laws by police officers is also really bad. Cops can selectively enforce laws so poor people or black people or whatever out-group suffers more. A machine should be impartial.

    On the last hand, no traffic enforcement is probably going to get people killed. So that’s not desirable.

    Also, fines are problematic. Fines should probably scale with wealth, but also it shouldn’t be a revenue source because that’s a perverse incentive.
