Not hide. They want to return the developed world to literal medieval-style surfdom economics. It’s total egotistical delusion.

OK, well let’s see how it plays out in 20 years and see where things go.

100% agree. These along with induction charging roads are what puts EVs over the line in terms of average distance per charge.

Sodium is also far easier to get, no mines involved. This might be closer to the era of 89¢ gas.

You should get a better VPN. Mine only gives me this rarely, often when I’m using a node that I can assume is where a bunch of prime would use to run bots.

Well, it makes me double check my knowledge, which helps me learn to some degree, but it’s not what I’m trying to make happen.

I like to use GPT to create practice tests for certification tests. Even if I give it very specific guidance to double check what it thinks is a correct answer, it will gladly tell me I got questions wrong and I will have to ask it to triple check the right answer, which is what I actually answered.

Oh cool, I have a free OK cupid account I can delete? Fun!

So even the most sophisticated profiling is wrong a significant part of the time.

Great. Glad its been so worth it to scoop up all my data and leak it everywhere just to not know how to use it for your stated intended purpose.

Seriously though, this is the tech layer we all really need and I fear no one is developing. I don’t mean the obvious “scan your digital government ID to start the call” but just the equivalent of a CAPCHA. Probably a hand mirror is all you really need.

WTF? No! The call center people didn’t do this. What the hell is wrong with you?

You call and ask them that you have a question, and that it’s to ask their marketing team “what the hell?”

Treat call center folks are your allies, and they can easily become that for you. Abuse is literally the only wrong answer.

First question: What the hell is this?

Second question: What the hell is wrong with you people?

I will be the first to lean into the fact that over the next 5 years, workflow in every company will change dramatically. It’s going to be like the shift from no one having email, to everyone doing business by email.

But you know what’s a bad idea? Rawdogging that change in real time, on spec, with your human workflow staff out in the street, and your staff are politically-appointed children, all while things like critical infrastructure, healthcare, nukes, air traffic, and the military are your “in production” assets that might go down. All to try and be the guy that shoves his AI in the gap.

All governments moved to email slowly because, among other reasons, email is inherently insecure. Email use by governments, records laws, and encryption standards progressed together. None of those types of knock-ons are considered here.

No idea. I think there’s a lot of machine learning - enabled mapping up front.

What a weird way to write “Crypto scam launders bribes while fleecing of fans to a total of $350 million.”

I really hope this means another attempt to use the magnetosphere itself. MAGNAV might actually be possible at this point.

Edit: better article. AI advancements make MAGNAV a real possibility now. https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/3408951/magnav-project-successfully-demonstrates-real-time-magnetic-navigation/

My phone uses the Graft Positioning System to tell me where I can go and who I can talk to.

100% on board.

Doesn’t seem to. I turned off all the LW resist options, plus all my extensions, and still ended up in an infinite loop. But same extensions in FF doesn’t seem to have an effect.

I’ve worked and lived in a lot of developing countries. I can’t shout into the void any more then I already do, that I’ve seen this a dozen times.

Colleagues of mine that lived under corrupt kleptocracies with things like massive state surveillance of average people for simply being in the wrong political party tell me how great it is that the US has finally caught up with them.

The commonality is that we have already, in 6 weeks, hit a point of it taking a generation to undo what’s been done.

The people who aren’t freaked out are either normal people that don’t have a sense of what’s coming and can’t comprehend life outside the status quo, and those that think they’ll directly benefit from it all.

LibreWolf is next, and it’s not exactly niche. I’m seeing it more and more, and LW defaults, even dropping resist settings, gets bounced by CloudFlare every time.
