*me looking at most of the graphical-atrocity indie games I play non-stop still being in “Early Access” after 10+ years* Yes, games taking too long to make definitely is the problem. Quantity over quality. Work faster, not smarter. Sounds like a winning strategy AAA-studios, good luck!

Is it? Or maybe you’re an asshole too…

Are they really losses when the leaking, unfocused energy turns all buildings in a kilometer radius into microwave ovens? Just fill them up with popcorn packets and invite everyone over for movie night. We could watch one of the James Bond movies where the villain has an orbital deathray. I think there’s at least a couple of them.

We could live in a utopia, but we constantly choose not to.

And here I am just using my flipper zero to turn my fan on and off since the remote that came with it sucks.

It is explicitly intended to be, you only have to listen to them talk about it for that to be abundantly clear. Fuck, even ask an AI themselves and they’ll tell you about the dangers of how it’s being used. The only people saying it’s not are the utopian dreamers who are expecting it to be something it’s currently not and likely has no hope of ever being. This is not a utopia and the people creating these technologies are not utopians in the slightest, they are mercenary capitalists and they will instantly grind you into a paste without even a shred of remorse or even an acknowledgement that they’ve done so, if it helps them get their next dollar. Some of them only think about you in the abstract. Most of them don’t think of you at all.

Corporations are not people, because if they were, we could arrest them and imprison them. If they don’t have the same penalties as people, they should not have the same rights as people.

Oh I highly doubt it’s anywhere near over yet. This may be the first bubble to pop but the frothing frenzy is still accelerating and with all the trillion dollar tech giants still attempting to boil the oceans with the massive resources they’re putting into this it’s not going to collapse anytime too soon, unfortunately. It will inevitably though, small comfort though that may be. As the saying goes, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent, and the market is highly, highly irrational for AI right now.

Of course he is. Newsom is a blatant opportunist, he has no moral backbone, he has no firm policy, he just does whatever is politically advantageous at any time. He is not the “democratic hero” the anti-Trump media likes to paint him as. He is not anyone’s friend. Unless they’re paying him to be. If you think he is the answer to Trump, you need to understand that the establishment of both parties, on both sides of the ticket are all corrupt beyond redemption. It’s time to draw the line and demand real change, not just red team or blue team. Heroes come in many colors, you need to look deeper than what color people are. When you have no tolerable choices for government, the only choice left to you is to become ungovernable. Don’t give in, don’t give up, don’t play their game. There is a path forward, no matter how well hidden they’ve tried to make it. The power is the with the people, it always has been. Be difficult, be aggravating, use free speech for as long as you have it. Demand, defy, deny, resist. This is the time for pebbles to start landslides. Be the pebble.

ChatGPT, what does the world’s tiniest violin sound like?

That’s fucking amazingly hilarious(ly bad) but mostly just hilarious. The systemic enshittification of the entire concept of service jobs is basically complete at this point. As an anonymous, replaceable delivery drone nobody cares about your name not even the company employing you just, like, leave it empty it’ll use the default name or some shit and get to work, deliveries are waiting.

The point is that you isolate the VM after you get the file onto it but before running the potential malware. It’s not going to auto-execute, not if your Windows is patched and modern and up to date, we don’t live in the bad old days of floppy disks and CDs and USBs autorunning anymore (and for good reason).

If you are running a version of Windows (or anything) that is even capable of auto-executing code as it downloads, the malware you’re trying to test is the least of your worries because you’ll already have about a thousand other malware already running.

Your imagination is oversimplifying the process. It’s not “this morning I decided to be a terrorist so I signed up for jihad on their website and later that evening I was planting IEDs on tanks”. It’s a gradual process of recruitment and radicalization, testing and evaluation over months or years, with many intermediate steps and countless small tests of loyalty along the way as you work your way into the organizations and then up within them. Trust is not given it is earned. Your first “job” will probably be from someone who acts like they’re just being social and having conversations with you as a friend, and they’ll likely to encourage you to do something like parroting their propaganda on other places on social media, and as you do they’ll judge how well you follow instructions and how resourceful you are and might start giving you hints of other things you can do and see if you take the bait and judge how you react to those suggestions.

You definitely replied to the wrong person. I didn’t share any links or times of israel. My post is not edited.

he could get his medal proudly awarded to him in picturesque nuclear wasteland after it’ll be safe to emerge from underground.

Not within his lifetime, no matter how much healthcare he thinks money can buy. Maybe you mean his great-great-great-great-*-great-grandchildren can get the medal on his behalf, although they’ll be pretty horribly inbred by that point.

Yeah there is a lot of VPN astroturfing that goes on, and lots of comments do sound like ads (sometimes I even make such comments myself, and I’ve never been paid by anybody). But in this case the comment is literally just answering OP’s pretty specific request with relevant factual information. It doesn’t sound like an ad. Maybe it is, I can’t confirm or deny that, but it doesn’t sound like one.

During the 2008 crisis, QE made the debt a problem for some people.

I read this as “Queen Elizabeth made the debt a problem for some people” and was struggling to figure out what she had done or said in 2008 that influenced this, before I eventually realized you meant “Quantitative easing”

All I know is that I’m getting real tired of this Matrix / Idiocracy Mash-up Movie we’re living in.

So like, is this whole AI bubble being funded directly by the fossil fuel industry or something? Because the AI training and the instantaneous global adoption of them is using energy like it’s going out of style. Which fossil fuels actually are (going out of style, and being used to power these data centers). Could there be a link? Gotta find a way to burn all the rest of the oil and gas we can get out of the ground before laws make it illegal. Makes sense, in their traditional who gives a fuck about the climate and environment sort of way, doesn’t it?

It’s not their fault the entire western world supports Israel’s genocidal zionist ideals. They have been put in a no-win situation. By us. We are sometimes the baddies. Just like we were when we genocided the peoples of the Americas and enslaved Africa. I am not trying to excuse whataboutisms going back centuries and millennia. We are not our ancestors, and I am not my government. But we have inherited and participated in the systems they put in place, and no matter how entrenched and complex those things we must continue trying to fix them. Giving up and accepting “the reality” is not an option.
