Nailed it. Preach, brother!

Let’s get the psychos the fuck out of power and hopefully behind bars.

Would it? I think it would have just let you do it.

Probably more of a knock-on effect of the CIA propping up some truly shitty people, but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least

True to a point - the article justifies KOSA as a solution to this. We need a whole lot less of that, and a whole lot more holding power accountable. Both the government and the billionaires.

Look, don’t take this personally but can we stop with this discourse?

It’s disingenuous at best.

“Gay” isn’t the problem. See how it’s paired with “Republican”? You know, the people famous for wanting to repeal gay marriage? The one who says it’s not right to have anything but a “traditional family”? The ones who constantly squawk about the fact that trans people exist at all like we’re forcing churches to close and putting up learherdaddy paddle & lube emporiums in their place? The ones who say that all trans people should be jailed because a mass shooter identified as one?

You know, those demented reactionary pieces of shit? How could anyone who is gay defend ANY of that?

So, to rebuke your post - it’s not the gay that’s the problem. How do you put any stock into a person’s sanity when they’re such a walking contradiction?

It’s like saying “Jewish Nazi”, or “vegan pitmaster”. Like yeah, I’m sure they exist but I cannot fathom the logic behind landing there.

Anyway, let’s stop pretending we can’t read into the meaning there, that’s so “woke 1.0” and we can all do better than that.

It’s absolutely both.

Fucking gaming, forget gaming for a second. That is small potatoes.

Imagine if you will, all businesses and citizens storing their documents, photos, schedules, calendars, emails, contacts, social graphs in the cloud. We’ve know how toxic monetization of social media profiling has been, but again forget that, small potatoes.

Business move their storage to the cloud. Hundreds of thousands of AI agents scour over and summarize all of that data - not the LLMs designed to dazzle the public but purpose-built ML models designed to analyze financial reports, engineering whitepapers, patent applications, mission statements, insider information. You can see markets move in real time. You can gauge who is going to beat you and who is going to crash and burn before they do. You can see where the dark money is coming from - whether it’s on your side or not. You can discern where opposing political messaging is reaching people, and dissect how they’re interacting with it. You can hold all of society hostage.

Cameras move their storage to the cloud. Hospital systems. Cars beam constant telemetry. There’s nowhere to hide, it’s a constant prison and if you even appear to be getting out of line, it’s over for you.

We’re not there yet but this is what they’re building. Trump is mad that America broke up his pedo ring and his revenge is putting us all in a demented techno prison.

Oh, you won’t need a PC, peon. Soon your house will be littered with free complementary Amazon Fire tablets that connect to the cloud for all functions. They stream games! And all your conversations will be recorded and streamed in real-time, to prevent any naysayers from forming an uprising. Happy Tuesday! Please drink a verification can.

Why federate when you can just scrape and avoid the controversy

Brothers at this point in time they took away the personal computer in order to force us to rent time on the pantopticon hypnotic mechanical death-Turk.

Expect these to be forcefully implanted under your skin in order to I dunno *rolls dice * prevent illegal immigrants from voting or whatever.

They got too much power and were fucking cooked now.

I don’t think the school district is very keen on wiping their laptops and installing your own OS on them.

The way these guys push AI - “whether you want it or not” - makes me sure there is something much more sinister about this tech than the bumbling autocorrect idiocy we know it as. Is it the greatest spying tool ever? Is it designed to siphon all money from all businesses that previously went to wages for both skilled and unskilled labor? Does it subtly brainwash people?

I d been a tech guy my entire life, but it’s really looking like we need to destroy it all.

Yeah, hacker news aggregates great topics but the comment section is like YouTube comments but for people with PhDs.

They’re so unoriginal, it’s always a misunderstood dystopian plot, willfully ignored, flouted as genius.

I think they just announced a big new version just in time for Discord to tell us all to fuck off

I mean, they are, just for a different reason

Flipping the bits on a magnetic medium back and forth doesn’t always flip them entirely. Using more sensitive equipment to read back the bits can see the faint hints of what the bits used to be, which is why multiple overwrites with random information is the only way to be sure (and even then, there are advanced techniques that try to see past all that noise. The more you overwrite, the less sure any of these techniques are to work.

“Guys we HAVE to vote for Gavin Newsom NO MATTER WHAT or else you WANT TRANS PEOPLE to DIE”

Libs today

New routers are coming out that can watch and track humans and other figures based on the reflection of the waves coming back to them.

Like a fine detailed radar of the inside of your house.

Seems like they’re working on Docker build actions right now according to some other comments

Eh, containers are fine if you know what you’re doing. Just run them in a VM if you want more isolation.

Definitely not for the average user though.
