just you wait until they get ai to sift through that data.

The software that hallucinates?

flagging us as tankies and hunting us down is probably gonna start getting more and more practical for them to actually do

They're coming for me because I post too damned good

Ghosts can't beat zombies

Pulling Biden off the ballot of states he'll lose by 20 points and then letting Dems blame the residents there for not voting hard enough.

Monumental amounts of data that nobody really knows what to do with.

The panopticon is great for justifying something after the fact, but awful for any kind of actual detective work or deterrence.

I think the beetles came first and humans are more of a Avant Garde experiment that went off the rails. And that's why he doesn't make any more of us.

Sure, most people will get away with it but it still sucks for the few that don't.

This Act will not affect whether you get caught playing copy written music in the slightest.

Yuzu was implicated in the "Tears of the Kingdom" leak, not just the emulation.

YouTube-DL is a 17-year-old application that still continues to appear to be widely available despite the take-down notice.

Neither are what I'd call "home rolled". They're both widely published and distributed.

People were saying "nobody's gonna actually sue you for downloading Metallica songs"

And for 99.99% of people this was true. The overwhelming majority of people actually doing piracy went untouched. And even the artists were forced to concede, by the end, that they got suckered by a constellation of shady agents and lawyers who took them for a ride.

the company that owns Monster cables is infamous for suing small businesses that have Monster in the name even if there's no possible way anyone could get their business confused with their company.

As someone who does not own a small business, I do not care.

Loved this episode of E1

Saying What Can't Be Said: Israel Has Been Defeated – a Total Defeat

The war's aims won't be achieved, the hostages won't be returned through military pressure, security won't be restored and Israel's international ostracism won't end

I want to believe this is a 1980s South Africa moment. But for all the "wha! wha! Our international reputation!" I simply won't hold my breath waiting for the 30,000 dead Palestinians and 1.4M refugees to enjoy any kind of retribution.

The killing hasn't even stopped yet. The famine drags on. All the Israelis seem to care about is their next-quarter GDP figures. But for Gaza it is so much fucking worse.

Americans in the impossible position of choosing between

• Kill more brown people

• Make money shipping another cargo container full of novelty sex asses

The correct angle should be forcing all generative AI and its products to be public domain

None of these parties want to expand public domain, though. So that's not on the table.

This is purely a tug of war between "disruptor" tech industry piracy that's supposed to be Too Big To Fail and legacy media that would drag us back to flip books and cave paintings if they thought it would benefit the bottom line.
