Yet more evidence for my “never trust a self described libertarian” stance. Hasn’t failed me yet.

We are not facing skynet, but the techbros, media and government all want us to think so.

They did not “escape”, they were able to find security holes in portly protected environments that they had access to. They performed the same security tests against live sites online, which also had security flaws. They did not spread, or escape, nor are they hiding on servers anywhere like in the movies. They simply performed a remote exploit after using a local one to get internet access.

These things are dangerous, but as a weapon in people’s hands. They still have off buttons, we still have all the control. But the narrative makes it feel like an inevitability, we’ve all watched too much sci-fi and aren’t using critical thinking skills.

I felt the same way until my wife talked me into one. We use it almost every day now (it’s great for veggies, so much faster than my convection oven). I bought a cheapish one and am now regretting it since it’s broken and become uncleanably messy. So this is a well timed thread, since I’m looking for a new one.

Oh, agreed. They got to him, he rolled over. Instantly, once they gave him a taste of the Epstein class lifestyle.

I clicked on it by accident, almost hit back immediately but thought I’d give it a chance. Glad I did, legit funny.

Surprise!

I happen to still be logged in. Usually it takes a while :)

Because they have invested heavily into automation. A couple years ago the ford ceo went over there and came back terrified. He didn’t think it here was any way that american companies had a chance of competing.

lol, in an even smaller nutshell :)

I’m convinced this is deliberate. We are not facing a skynet situation, AI is not going rogue. This is shitty security during user initiated testing that they did not fully understand.

They want us to think that AGI is around the corner and so publicizing these hacks is doing that work in the uninformed public’s mind. I’ve had to explain to several people the reality of these attacks, but even now, watching the news, they are trying to scare us with made up stories of out of control AI.

I agree with your passion and thought process. In a nutshell, Reddit was the shit, until venture capital got them..

I just learned about the nightclub like takeover of bowling in the US. No wonder it cost me so much last time I took the kids. Venture capital ruins everything it touches.

Yeah, I see so much sandblasted brick these days from removing paint. I mean, it does look better than paint, but it’s so worn looking. Painting bricks is just a horrible idea.

You may be right, I’ve been pretty much a hermit since Covid. I haven’t been to a bar in like 6 years, that’s where I’d normally see it. The car I bought last year had it on in the lobby though..
