I can already hear the bunting being unpacked. Saying Britain would be welcome maybe encouraging; but it is not an accession process. 27 MS are yet to be convinced. Europe opening the door does not absolve Britain of the long walk back to it.

In that case, I’d argue the one who gave the agent a broad goal is responsible. “I was driving fast to go to an appointment & didn’t mean to hit someone” doesn’t absolve responsibility.
Might feel bad for the one who gave it the task, but at some point a human must be accountable.

A seemingly-coordinated cognitive influence campaign I’m seeing right now on other platforms appears to try to absolve, and redirect, shame around alleged sexual assault.

If your immediate reaction is to say "not all men" or to absolve yourself of guilt, then you need to shake your brain. Yes, there are good people. But that is not what this is about, this is about making a better place for everybody, not stroking an ego

The underlying facts of the thread--that Bluesky is a highly modifiable protocol that users and groups can self-moderate--does not absolve its stakeholders of legal responsibilities, nor does it give them their own entitlement to be dismissive and insulting to their userbase, as shown here
There’s a paradox of entitlement where folks demand better service, response time, and customisation to their tastes from smaller rather than larger providers. That only really works when the price is higher and the volume is much lower for those providers. 1/6

Simple solution: just don't do it.
The US desire to find 'clean' ways of killing people is ultimately to try and absolve themselves of what they're doing: killing people.
There is no clean and morally pure way of taking a life - and particularly not of someone whose entirely within your power

But earlier you acted like money is irrelevant. You demanded i hire a human translator to do what an LLM can do just fine despite it costing insane money.
Meanwhile you can say "its too expensive" (its not) to absolve yourself of engaging in an EVEN WORSE industry on a daily basis.

Everyone is a product of circumstances and you can always draw some line from "fucked up childhood" to "moral monster". That doesn't absolve people of the responsibility to not be moral monsters. Just the way it is.

Katie Britt’s complacent and then shocked expressions do not absolve her of any of this. She’s complicit, absolutely knows this is wrong, and will go down with the rest of the enablers on the wrong side of history.
