Makes sense. It takes years to complete construction projects and budgets always overrun. AI is a fad for most companies trying to get into it.

Think about the dotcom bubble. We went from having all of these businesses that shot to the moon for valuation… and then it collapsed. Feels exactly the same. A few will survive to become metas and googles because it is not a worthless technology, but most of them are going to be worthless companies when investors decide it’s time to run.

You’re not kidding, that’s for sure.

My wife watched a video about ICE surveillance last night and she couldn’t believe they are building databases or protestors or holding airport photos of immigrants for 75 years. Normies do not understand just how bad it is, they think pointing out all this stuff is crazy conspiracy theory.

100% of the data is out there for every single action we do now. Everything we say (smartphones, ‘smart’ devices), Where we are driving, when we are driving, when we are out and about, who we are with, who we exchange messages with, how much money we make, what we spend it on, everything we comment on the internet, all of our browser history, every message we exchange on nearly all platforms… everything is for sale. 1984 is technically feasible, today. We’re so close it’s terrifying.

This is just their way of saying they want state sponsored backdoors into all private home networks.

I’d be amazed if they internally do not have objectives to implement the kool aid.

But yeah, of course it’s propaganda. If this bite lands in the right ear of an exec, they can implement this as a metric in their review process.

In latin america, this is basically impossible. This also covers people who message a lot of people in latin america.

They may technically be able to switch, but most of latin america uses things like whatsapp for official communication.

Oh this will be a fun. “Please spend more of our company money, or else we will think you are not doing your job”

it’s so fucking easy to send bogus requests that use tons of processing time. This is the DUMBEST metric i’ve seen in a long, long time. If an employee of theirs uses 500k worth of processing time now, are they better employees? What if someone manages to spend 10 million worth of tokens? 100 million? Performance metrics should be outcome based instead of “how much money did you spend” lol

That’s not the point of this.

The point of this is to remove unpaid/unauthorized bots. They want their engagement figures to look even better, and they don’t want people offering up their advertisements propaganda without paying up.

Their goal will never be to eliminate bots because undoubtedly that is something they want to sell access to and use themselves.

By guaranteeing that certain posts are bona fide humans, their data is more valuable to sell for AI data as well… and they probably have a way to dox users with this too.

There is a very, very short list of games that don’t “just work” in linux at this point.

If your daily gaming is nothing but LoL or twitch competitive shooters and you’ve gotta play whatever the trend is, linux won’t work 100% of the time. In basically any other case, it just works for gaming. If you MUST play some kind of competitive shooter, it’s real easy to have a dual boot setup with windows for that game.

If the competitive shooters you want are supported here, there’s no reason to use windows for gaming. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ - Right now the biggest pain points are probably Battlefield 6, Call of Duty, League of Legends, Apex, Valorant, Fortnite… aka the games where the teenagers tell you how they fucked your mom. Many, many other titles just work, like The Finals, ARC Raiders, Counter-Strike 2, etc.

Even with some games that do not have anti-cheat support, you can still run the game, you just have to join servers setup for linux that effectively do not have anticheat enabled. I think real flesh and blood admins do a better job anyway.

They’re already paying all the manufacturers for the driver telemetry anyway, probably through third party brokers because everything must be obfuscated.

I think they like having multiple layers of confirmation that way if one is regulated away for some reason like ‘privacy’ or ‘technically anyone could be driving’ then they have fallbacks and legal deniability for the data being inherently flawed.

The various news sites out there that want to spread their own version of influence and generate their own revenue take this kind of information and use it to see how you click on things, what drives your engagement, what you will go on to share with others, and how you talk about all of it. It’s all tied together.

Big money interests run basically everything in this world. We are just cattle, we will always be just cattle. I’m in countless databases like all of you, and we’re all fucked by the system we think we might some day to cheat our way above the other rats. The noose is tied tight though… there’s not much room left to struggle. It’s too late to escape it. Palantir and Flock are here to close the loop and they aren’t going anywhere, even if the street cameras are likely to be hidden in the future and more tamper proof rather than obvious to the public. Doesn’t matter if the laws change to ban it or you can convince local government to not get involved with it - it’s way too easy to hide cameras with modern technology. Just give it time and your credit score and auto insurance will incorporate flock data ;)

I swear people do not understand the point of what microsoft does.

There isn’t a team tasked with making teams worse. They’re tasked with extracting all possible value out of their product. Part of that value is infromation like where you are, what you’re doing, what you’re talking about, what you search for, what you actually do for your job, who is around you, what they talk about, where they are, what they are doing, what they search for, and what they do for their job and how everyone spends their money.

All of this is incredibly valuable data to governments, businesses and private individuals that want to advertise, suppress dissenting political voices, enhance useful dissenting political voices, and otherwise manipulate global influence.

They just don’t want you to think about declining any permissions, triggering regulatory action, or switching to another platform.

It’s because this administration wants to use AI/ML to create a list of domestic strike targets based on people who have said things dumpy doesn’t like.

That’s not really parental supervision though. Knowing what kind of content that exists and that a child can interact with should be one of the most important considerations when allowing kids to access something. Not just the amount of time in a period they are allowed to do so.

I can’t imagine how “parental supervision” could exist without understanding how to use what they are supervising.

Can’t interfere with that revenue growth

Shareholders need to be held accountable for the unethical, immoral and illegal activities of their owned businesses. Until there is a financial incentive for business to be run ethically, morally and legally for the shareholders, nothing will ever change. It is perhaps the biggest problem with capitalism today.

I wish there was a solution for this, but it sounds like the only way to fix the problem is regulation.

Good luck with that, we can’t bribe this administration as well as the auto lobby can.

There’s going to be latency because the NIC on both ends still communicates with copper to the rest of the computer system(s.)

Still going to be faster than a fiber connection or copper. Not to mention the latency induced by say the IEX Magic Box.

lizard android? or… just android?

It’s certainly frustrating pointing out obvious end results and seeing all the fanboys and normies call you a conspiracy theorist or just dunk on you.

There’s no such thing as privacy anymore. People still believe it exists, but it’s dead and gone.
