People for some reason assume that you can pay $20 for a bot and it will do something. You need a person with a lot of experience to get something useful from this bot, and every time we actually measure, the results that your experienced person will be quicker and better not using it at all, and doing the same work themselves.
The corporate solution is to hire a not experienced person to wrangle the bots, but that’s a sure way to introduce bugs, not fix them.
What do you do with your browsers so they crash? Mine didn’t do that in at least a decade
he implication that this would mean that LLMs are far, far more capable than anyone gives them credit for, completely slipped past them.
That’s because those implications are blatant, open, clear lies. Your slop generator provides negative value to everyone except those who own it.
“Finding” bugs by throwing shit at the walls and assuming people will sort it out provides negative value. You technically are finding bugs, but you could do the same just assuming every line of your code contains five bugs. The question is in “and then what”, and the answer is “someone needs to sort them out and deal with it”, and if you have people who can fix the bug, they’re perfectly capable of finding it themselves. The bugs still exist because there is not enough people to fix that. And slop gen doesn’t help with that either.
You’re doing fallacy fallacy. Some slopes are actually slippery, it’s just the nature of the slopes.
Government ID connected to all your accounts on the internet isn’t much different from other things you mentioned, the only difference is that the other bits of privacy we actually exchanged for convenience. With everything you mentioned and more, you can either opt-out, you don’t actually need your car to be “smart” or have a car at all, or it wasn’t invented as a control mechanism, like credit cards or smartphones. Using it to do nefarious shit requires effort and additional work, and there are at least some protections in place. But yes, it’s another form of control, just way more sudden, invasive, and useless.
If we’re doing fallacies, yours called “nirvana fallacy”. “We can’t have an ideal world, therefore we need not to fight when people are trying to make it worse”.
Connecting everything you do on the internet to your id serves the only purpose, prevent people from being able to do speech that the government doesn’t like. While we have a democratic government, it might not lead to problems. The second we have all this shit in mind, the government might start asking itself, why do they bother with all this democracy when they have all this authoritarian instruments lying around for no reason.
You’d be surprised how easy it is to ban specific protocols or apps, if you put your mind to it. DPI is dead easy this days. Again, Russian example is right there, the only thing that managed to resist the block so far was Telegram, because they’re doing some very advanced block avoidance. Russia is poor, and losing brains very quickly, a country with better equipment and people will not have this problem.
Yeah, it’s resource intensive, but that’s ISP’s job, and they have equipment and motivation already. Small ISPs if they still exist will die, but that’s just added bonus. And you don’t even need the complete blockage, you need to make it annoying enough to use so it’s not very popular, so most of the communication will happen on platforms that are under control. You can’t fight all the nerds, and you don’t need to.
It’s not a leap, it’s the only next logical step. A government doesn’t start carding everyone on the internet because they’re bored. They do it because they don’t want uncontrolled communication for some reason or another. “For the children”, of course, why else. That’s why everyone needs to have an ID app on their phone, and all the websites should be tied to it. It’s for the children.
As opposed to what it is now, right?
No, they will expand the mandates for providers to filter traffic. Everything ultimately goes through a handful of big ISP companies, so they will just make them comply with the filtration. It will not work great, even simple DPI is resource intensive, but when an ISP is ultimately at fault, they will have to find a way. And ultimately it doesn’t have to work all the time forever, it just need to degrade services enough so most people find it inconvenient to use. As a tool of control, it needs to prevent unwanted communication to be easy, this will ensure only the nerds will do it, and nobody cares about handful of nerds.
They don’t have to invent anything, that’s exactly how it works already in every country that controls their population and the internet in their country. It took Russia 8 years to transition from completely free unobstructed internet to everything being unavailable and everyone being used to it. Europe is way more capable technically, it will take most of the countries less.
Don’t look up
Yes, the flaw in their solution is that they require the government ID to access the internet now. That’s the flaw.
That’s the stupid part, it doesn’t matter what it will look like at the beginning. It might be the best written documentation now, they can even implement the app correctly. The thing is, the jump from “people can use the internet” to “in order to access the internet you need to provide your government ID to your smartphone” is a big jump, one that can cost a politician career. The jump from “you need to use version 1.4.412 of the govenment id checker” to “you need to use version 2.0 of the Government Id Checker Plus” is minuscule. That’s where you introduce a persistent database of the tokens, somewhere on page 5 of the changelog. And only nerds care about that and nobody listens to them.
It’s so fucking easy, Russia did this exact gambit in 2017, Kazakhstan couple of years before.
No, that’s an app on your phone. That accumulates a ton of data in a way that didn’t exist before. The government knows I exist. Now it knows every website I’m visiting, and my identity on those sites. Now the new politician in my country decides to be a little bit more corrupt, and asks the app maintainer “hey, can you gather IDs and home addresses of all the people who criticized genocide online last couple of years, I would like to execute them publicly”, and they can do it with basically one sql equerry. The only defense against that will be “but that’s illegal, there are laws against that!”, which is shit defense nowadays.
In order to make sure that the age a person provided is real, the system will gather all that information anyway. I don’t know what you mean by “reveal”, but it will gather it. And that’s the main building block of the problem.
Cracking down on decetralized apps will be the next logical step
The shit about numbered worlds is a relic from the cold war. Neither of the worlds exist anymore, really.
That’s not how it works my man. If you’re claiming something it’s your burden to prove it. If instead you start butthurt rants, it means you know shit about shit and should be discarded.
Kids has social lives before the internet so your argument
I will let you figure out yourself what’s wrong with your logic without insulting you with stating the obvious
What in the fuck are we even talking about then, you know shit about the topic and don’t care (don’t get me wrong, valid stance)
In US? Unless you’re very lucky with location, and 99% aren’t, you can’t ride a bike anywhere, it’s dangerous and there are stroads everywhere. You can’t see their friends in real life because there is no place to gather, and nobody is doing that anyway. Kids are talking to each other on various internets and talking in memes the pick up online. You can’t even socialise with non-technology freaks and wonabe amish, they’re all home schooled.
It’s slightly different in other, more developed countries. But even then, not being able to connect with your peers on discord will cost the kid a bunch of socialising points, and make their social life that much harder (up to impossible) for no reason.
And that’s just social life, I’m not even talking about the fact that you practically taking away any prospect of a good employment rising them like that.
Maybe talk to your kids once in a while so they don’t want to seek connection with 30 year old maga predators on the internet as a crude replacement for personal connection, instead of locking them up in a tower.
Interesting. So far, all my experiences with stuff like that turned out to be faulty hardware.
