Other lawmakers are assholes that don’t care about you in the slightest.

‘Staggering’ number of people are idiots. It’s okay, the non-idiots know what we’re dealing with here.

Yeah, just like all movies are 3d now.

I can’t tolerate surveillance software on my PC that I use to develop surveillance software!

Some right libertarians actually believe the bullshit that free markets magically pop up out of the ground like weeds if you just don’t regulate anything. This is obviously untrue. You need the right type of regulation to have a free market. Otherwise you end up with cartels and monopolies.

Those that operate the cartels and monopolies know this, but continue to feed the propaganda machine that spouts the opposite.

Nextdoor also works for buying and selling junk, but it’s basically as terrible as Facebook at this point. Nearly every post is full up with brunchlords and Karens.

Between this and expedition 33, France is coming up with some Ws these days.

How are they preventing public release then?

Look it’s either skynet or it fucking isn’t.

It seems clear to me that cloud LLMs have the same scaling problems and demand concerns that cloud gaming did.

Oh well, maybe regular people will have to still run software locally after all. 🤷

I thought part of the point was to have a website work more as an application: one update to a piece of information results in that information being near instantly updated across the site.

Then I looked into the angular stuff the UI people were working on and yeah… something like 10 (costly) requests for the same exact fucking JSON. They were talking about doing caching on the frontend to optimize it. What are we even doing?!

Modern UI development is such fucking shit. I have no idea why they went with all of these heavyweight shit frameworks.

There’s a kind of law here that should be named IMO when dealing with LLMs:

In a long enough interaction with an LLM the probability that it generates a very incorrect, borderline insane response approaches 100%.

Time to dump GitHub for codeberg.

Including being good to hypothetical, unlikely trillions that may live someday if we colonize Mars.

Not gonna happen. Not with the effective altruist cult running things.

The real issue is when other countries that don’t give a shit throw stuff up there and we can’t do much about it.

Dude, we are the country that doesn’t give a shit and throws stuff up there and we can’t do much about it. WE ARE.

This is fine IMO, because you shouldn’t use the smart features in the first place. Just get a 3rd party streaming box. The ONN one is like $25. (Or if you’re a giant nerd hook your computer to your TV.)

It does. I wound up buying two new TVs because of the thing OP is talking about here. You could actually get around agreeing and then opting out by removing the TV from the network and then restoring it to factory and never reconnecting it.

Where do you guys live? Is it America? Because I kinda feel like in America I’m never surprised that someone drove drunk.

(Especially before Uber.)

Can someone please come out with a phone that’s an actual computer and help stop this nonsense?

Phones cost a lot of money at this point and I’m completely sick of them being some locked down, surveillance ridden pile of crap. A reasonably built one would be able to replace a laptop at this point if it weren’t for these artificial constraints imposed by the stupid fucking suits running things.
