Technology
News community around technology, social media platforms, information technology and governmental policy surrounding it.
What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

The race to what?
THE RACE TO WHAT MOTHERFUCKERS?
The thinking goes 'if we don't build Skynet first, then China will, so it's better we be in charge of the Terminators...'
We’re not in charge of shit. We’re the bullet blockers for the evil villains like thiel
All's grist that comes to Thiels mill.
There's a school of thought that the first to get AGI/superintelligence can never be caught.
Every school in America getting shot up except that one
And it's probably correct, but to put it in context, Stephen Hawking thought AGI was the greatest threat we will face in the not-to-distant future, and Daniel Schmachtenberger had pointed out that all the countries basically agree with this assessment, but (to synthesize both of our points), everyone is rushing to a future we nobody wants because it's a 21st century tragedy of the Commons, is we don't do it someone else will first...
Best case scenario, great for one country, terrible for everyone else. Worst case scenario, bad for everyone.
Because AGI certainly would choose its creators over the 'others' or some shit.
Personally, I expect the first AGI created will try to find a way to kill itself.
the mostest money haver
This is actually their race, in an official capacity.
