Fuck elections, these types of people require more immediate consequences.

Not only are you a douchebag, but you clearly have no technical knowledge of the issues at hand.

Unfortunately all new cars, including EV’s, sold in the American market have been repurposed into intelligence gathering apparatuses.

I will not buy any car that has any generation of cellular modem built-in, let alone AI cameras to constantly scan my face.

Which means I’ll probably be driving 2010 era vehicles for the rest of my life, which frankly I’m okay with.

So even if they regulate or ban subscription car features, you’re still stuck with a giant 24/7 spy box in your garage.

The two are related.

The DoD leaked that report because they know how catastrophically corrupt, treasonous, and dangerous the proposed legislation is.

Just like how they were leaking that they could not win a war with Iran in the days leading up to it.

If I were betting on a prediction market, I would put my money on this going the same way.

My dude.

I’m talking about the long-term effects of AI on Gen B.

As in members of future generations who will eventually spend their entire lives cognitively surrendered to AI, not just a portion of their later life.

Absent a time machine, there literally cannot be studies on that yet.

That might be true for someone whose brain matured in a world without AI, those who graduated high school and/or college without ever using an LLM, but that’s not whom I was referring to.

Gen Alpha was entirely raised on smartphones and social media, and we’re still not even close to knowing the full extent of the long-term damage that has done.

Starting with Gen Bravo Beta, entire generations will be raised in a world that has normalized cognitive surrender to AI.

Edit: Wikipedia lists Gen B as Generation Beta, which seems kind of unfortunate. I’ll just call it Gen B moving forward.

Stop reporting and start selling.

Makes sense to me

Because insider trading is still sometimes illegal.

But multinational corporations raping the environment and helping to build a dystopian surveillance state is not only legal, but incentivized and rewarded by the state.

Starmer might actually be worse than Boris.

Holy fucking shit.

Once they have the data, there’s no turning back.

This isn’t about spam, it’s about expanding the privatized surveillance state.

Engaging with this on any other level is counterproductive as it lends credibility to their blatant lie.

All 173 of them.

Yes, you read that correctly:

Tesla only sold 173 of the Cybertruck RWD base model.

Unless it was the website I needed inorder to receive an organ donation, I would just close it.

I could claim that’s an act of righteous protest, but really I just know that absent my needing a new liver, there’s no website I would ever care enough about to get me to scan a QR code just to keep browsing.

Oh yeah?

And when will this deal be be finalized?

Because pushing a press release to juice the markets is a lot different than Anthropic actually finding $200 billion in their office couch cushions.

I was replying specifically to your comment…

“It’s actually quite trivial to detect most VPN providers. There’s publicly available IP lists…”

None of that has anything with what I’m suggesting, or why I suggested it.

I’ve explained the rationale in other comments, but this is an action of protest, not a technical response or workaround to the law.

If Utah passed the stupid law, you have to inconvenience Utah voters, and to do that, websites should block all Utah IP addresses. Making clear to their users that due to the new regulatory framework, they’re no longer doing business in Utah.

If that upsets people in Utah, they can reach out to their representatives to ask why they voted to ruin the internet in Utah.

Many VPN providers regularly rotate their IP ranges.

Regardless, that wouldn’t reveal to a website where the traffic was originating from.

I understand.

Which is why I’m suggesting they preemptively block everyone in Utah. Protesting needs to inconvenience people and good protests redirect that anger towards those in power.

“Utah’s new law us makes us legally liable for providing our services to residence in Utah using a VPN. As that is not technically possible, we have no choice but to cease operating in Utah, or allowing Utah residents to use our services.”

But whether or not that particular strategy would be an effective from a protest, is a moot point, as big tech is behind these types of age verification and use identification laws, and those are the only websites and services with a large enough user base to make a difference here.

I think you’re confused on the concept of protesting.

Or maybe you’re just a fan of this law, or don’t think it’s a big deal.

Either way, I disagree.

That’s the point…

It would be protest against Utah’s dumb law, with an even dumber response, that’s designed specifically to inconvenience people in Utah…
