The solution are the bent sheet metal cans that only take one manufacture, a few machines, and some steel to make. The way folded towels have been dispensed for >50 years. But everyone needs to make money on everything, so having a metal can that you pull one folded paper towel from isn’t enough control over the one person that wants to steal the whole thing.

Yeah, really awesome that 2 decades of market manipulation allowed them to be the monopoly on AI. Such good capitalism, when even the longest silicon producer, Intel, can’t even compete. I love my two party capitalism.

escalating consequences for unintentional non-compliance.

Oops! Spied on you. Sooowwwyy. I’ll take a paid week off(to think about your nudes).

I’m scared that if they start including all our shit posting in their model data, it will roast me back for saying dumb stuff.

The McDonalds here had an AI prompt for like a week. I don’t care because all I need to do is say the number for my mobile order and it was faster. But everyone over 30 would be screaming and yelling shit about “who are you”, “what’s happening”, “am I supposed to talk now?”. I still get stuck behind old people that struggle with actual humans at the drive thru.

General technological competence is so far behind what can be offered to consumers. People are the bottle neck, look at bear proof trash can designs. And I don’t think it’s getting better like it was. With the internet now packaged into 2 click apps, the majority of kids are just doing that instead of getting into FOSS and Linux like the majority of the early 2000s internet users.

But when they’re extremely overweight from their eating disorder, that’s body positivity and needs to be included for those people to not feel excluded?

Because body positivity isn’t for skinny people.

Holy shit, I just realized the true problem! We need to make chainsaws illegal to own, operate, and manufacture. Just look at the statistics. Oh my God, I am the human that figured it out! Make chainsaws illegal!

Yup. Quick slip is all it takes. My mom and plenty of other people have had it happen.

I honestly don’t know. It’s going to have to be some peer system. If and what takes off I don’t know yet, but I’m watching and want to know. It’s going to be some peer based infrastructure. Just looking at the phones everyone carries, you got like 256gb of storage, 2 thru 5g, Bluetooth, wifi, nfc, all this wireless connection, and the processing to back it up. It needs to be easy as torrenting was in 2005, we need to make the infrastructure and UI easy for everyone, then a p2p or i2p whatever can take off.

Same, I’ve watched everything from MySpace to Twitter come and go without ever participating. I would browse reddit and did comment on the small subs for my hobbies in the early days.

I feel like the internet is collapsing, in 2-5 years things are going to be so different. I’m here to shit post and cry until it ends. It’s was fun while it lasted.

We need to decentralized the internet. The technology is widely available to regular people, it even already exists in the new tech your average person is just buying in a regular consumer devices. Centralized hardwire networks have had a great run for 40 or so years, but the freedom they offered was bound to get regulated by those that need to stay in control or hurt their ego.

Wireless mesh networks are only happening in a very tiny niche, will that take off the same way internet did pre2000s or will everyone take the easy dopamine.

I sure hope I never get injured using my chainsaw out in the forest with no cell service. It’s going to be so awesome bleeding out in a truck that cuts to 5mph max because I’m too busy holding the tourniquet on my leg while I drive. That’s certainly NEVER happened. NEVER happens, to nobody, including my mother.

Look at fleet trucks. Usually you can get them without any bs. Like even no ac, just a frame, body, and powertrain.

Also fancy electronics like that are pretty easy to disable hardware wise. Break a cap in the voltage regulation, break a few pins of a IC, anything really that functional kills it but still let’s everything else think it’s there or there a problem it has to ignore. Like microphone modules, I shove a pin it and scramble it then fill it with CA glue. Hardware thinks it’s there but it ain’t doing anything.

You do not want raccoons in your life. They are horrible criminal psychopaths that will bite you.

This feels like a weird point to make for OP since I figure anyone here talking about AI is very familiar with distributed networked computing. Botnets have been such a pain in the dick for at least 15 years now. Imagine something that intimately and only knows how to “live” in computing. The distributed areas of could “live” in and have access to all the resources it needs either directly or not. Storing info and using resources of anything it can touch through the network, computers, phones, TVs, cars, door bell cameras, router and networking infrastructure.

I feel there is inevitably either a human made virus or a standalone AIG that is going to accomplish this.The extent to which it spreads, if the damage can be recovered from, and how we progress after it’s going to be a big defining moment is technological history. The globalized network with everything communicating is the most powerful and least secure super computer ever. Those running botnets figured that out a long time ago. All it takes is one AI.

I don’t know when exactly it happened, maybe it was a slow creep, but steam sales no longer mean anything. Just put games that you actually want on your wishlist and wait a year for it to go on sale once, maybe twice in a year. They used to have really good games going for less than $10 and I could buy a few that I had zero intention of buying. I’m a big boy, I don’t have to pirate, I’m willing to pay $30 for a handful of games I know I will play eventually.

Now it’s a handful of seemingly corporately predetermined sellers. I’ll pay for games and media, if you make it cheap and easy. Oh well, cracked games run faster anyways ¯_(ツ)_/¯
