@Akagi @YeetLibs I didn't know who Charlie Kirk was until today (I don't recall navigating to a new web page yesterday). He seems to have been more focused on "normies" (or at least people who are more "normal" than I am).

@YeetLibs Charlie Kirk had a daughter. Nick Fuentes might have had as many as 50 "pedophile scandals": https://www.chrisbrunet.com/p/top-50-nick-fuentes-pedophile-scandals

@Dudebro @meso @Red_Hat @Hoss @dassauerkraut I concur, though that depends on a definition of "Whoever": https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?edition=2024&req=granuleid%3AUSC-2024-title18-section2(a) Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.(b) Whoever willfully causes an act to be done which if directly performed by him or another would be an offense against the United States, is punishable as a principal.It removes all doubt that one who puts in motion or assists in the illegal enterprise but causes the commission of an indispensable element of the offense by an innocent agent or instrumentality, is guilty as a principal even though he intentionally refrained from the direct act constituting the completed offense.

@dassauerkraut @meso @Dudebro @Red_Hat @Hoss I didn't even consider that! My position was that the creator of any AI system that encouraged someone to kill themselves "put in motion an illegal enterprise" and would therefore be punishable as a principal. It could be argued that supplying training data (by agreeing to an End User License Agreement or accepting Terms of Use) has also "put in motion an illegal enterprise" (though it might be harder to get a favorable judgement while arguing that).

@coolboymew This reminds me of "proxy voting": https://robertsrules.com/frequently-asked-questions/ ("Should proxy votes be counted?"). A “proxy” is a means by which a member who expects to be absent from a meeting authorizes someone else to act in his or her place at the meeting. Proxy voting is not permitted in ordinary deliberative assemblies unless federal, state, or other laws applicable to the society require it, or the bylaws of the organization authorize it, since proxy voting is incompatible with the essential characteristics of a deliberative assembly. As a consequence, the answers to any questions concerning the correct use of proxies, the extent of the power conferred by a proxy, the duration, revocability, or transferability of proxies, and so forth, must be found in the provisions of the law or bylaws which require or authorize their use. In the case of a "virtue signaler", I expect that it's likely such a person was not even authorized to act as a proxy, so is not given any legitimacy by claiming to act in another person's interest. Someone who is speaking should speak on their own behalf, or on behalf of an office that a group of people consented to empowering them with. To do otherwise is to try to mark themselves as being more important than another speaker without having any defense, so anyone could do that, so we should assume that everyone has already done that and that we have discovered that every speaker actually is equally affected after considering "virtue signaling" (so we can just skip the process and focus on whether a person is able to discharge the powers of an office, and take any other steps to determine the weight of their vote in comparison to another person's vote). I'd like to note that it seems that a "proxy" is not the same as a "delegate": https://robertsrules.org/rror-12.htm#71

@professionalbigot69 I have several old computers that do that now. I suspect it's a motherboard issue (like with damaged capacitors) since I've never been able to get a computer that does that to stop doing it. I sometimes hold out hope that it's just a problem with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonvolatile_BIOS_memory#CMOS_battery but I don't recall getting good results from messing with that either.
