The same way? Fascinating! Tell me how the the State walks into your home exactly as easily as they do a city street.

I’m sticking to the kratom analogy because it, unlike dynamite, is produced by a facility somewhere, nobody can tell what’s inside of it, the composition can be changed by surprise, and there’s no actual rules or way to figure out what responsible usage looks like. Maybe 10% of people will be fine forever with the mystery tool. Maybe their lack of addiction is the glitch.

You think the government is putting mesh surveillance networks in the outlets in your house too, or are you able to identify a difference here?

Do you have a better source for this? Perhaps Russell Brand, or Joe Rogan, or better yet, not a comedy podcast?

You were just telling me how that outlet in my home is effectively identical to the outlet on a government controlled street. If I were you, I’d want to quit talking, too.

I’m impressed, I half expected you to say it provided the lights.

Now, do you understand the difference between a state-run network of IoT devices along roads versus a socket in your own home? Is the government allowed to install a surveillance device in both equally?

At the very least, gun companies don’t have an anonymous suggestion box for who to kill, and they aren’t the ones sending out assassins to do the killing. And the assassin doesn’t live in a mansion funded by taxpayers and foreign interests.

How was the outlet being used?

Did you read the article and identify how the outlet was being used currently, and how it will be used in the future?

Can’t tell what your actual complaint is, because you’re the third person to have the exact same “Isn’t this just” opinion… Have you read the article and the other comments posted before yours?

We know the AI megacorporations are not profiting off it. Why would you pretend otherwise? Other you are very ignorant, or you’re being dishonest right now.

NSO Group co-founder Shalev Hulio travelled to Panama in 2013 on an Israeli diplomatic passport and told Panamanian immigration he would be staying at the Israeli embassy.

I can’t read the word Panama without thinking of the Panama Papers. And the journalist who discovered them and was subsequently assassinated with a car bomb.

The details of Hulio’s diplomatic passport have been revealed alongside new testimony from a former intelligence officer in Morocco that confirms the North African country had access to Pegasus — despite its claims that it has not used the spyware. The findings come from a new collaborative investigation into NSO Group coordinated by Forbidden Stories.

Kudos to Forbidden Stories for uncovering this corruption, because I didn’t expect it to be this international.

I wasn’t talking about the closed source models you use. I was talking about the cloud ones you were just discussing.

I read this Linus Torvalds quote out loud and my dog freaked out.

This is NOT some kind of " social warrior " project, never has been, and never will be.

In the kernel community we do open source because it results in better technology, not because of religious reasons.

And so we make decisions primarily based on technical merit . Not fear of new tools.

It’s important to note that this man’s contributions to Open Source can be taken freely, and he and his opinions can be thrown in the wastebasket at any time.

How vague of a guess is that when people rely on those closed systems? We all know Corporate AI is hiding the actual costs with creative accounting while they enjoy abusing the environment…

I’m mostly in the same boat. It would be neat, but auto manufacturers have already started grumbling about the money it will cost to build one of these devices, and there’s no way they would fail to either

1. pass this cost on to the consumer, or
2. collect the data to sell later, or
3. simply do both. Probably this one.

Isn’t it curious how the utopian fantasy that’s promised by every AI CEO seems to contradict pesky reality? At some point, you might even get worried that AI appears to inherently erode critical thinking skills.

Maybe people could responsibly use kratom to create better output too. Who knows?

First of all, no she did not say that. Did you read the article?

Yeah, and I understand that time passes between signing an agreement and hearing your car beep at you from a device installed on the passenger side.

You realize that many dealerships don’t offer free loaner cars at all right? People deal with not having transportation given to them while their car is being worked on every day.

…Okay? And she got lucky, or thought she did, and now is apparently not in the position to pay $700 any more. Even if she is, plenty of people wouldn’t be.

Thinking about AI being used in conjunction with insurance at all makes me physically cringe. If somebody was looking for a tool to remove responsibility for denying claims or applying bias, it’s the tool for the job.

I know that’s not the side that you’re talking about here, but still, I don’t think I trust a system that’s basically Giant Autocomplete to handle this
