Do not eat the reality-veil lifting shrooms.

Lilliputian affairs aren’t meant for humankind and the separation is intentional. Hmph.

Right? Low key the only time in my life I’ve read a believable “and then they clapped” on the Internet. I wish I could shop when there’s a grocery bag hero about.

A farmer may want to make sure the law lets him fist his steers or whatever the farmer lingo is, whilst holding a fancy turkey baster with cow batter for the oven, for money. For more cows.

Does his nephew diddle the sheep? I dunno. What happens in Kansas and stays in Kansas affects me a lot less on the day to day than…

The director of the FBI seemingly and very vocally suspiciously trying to make his dog whistle sexy.

These sick fucks would bring back the coliseum if they could, and make sure they bold on the marquee in big bold letters how the show features wild beasts sating their every appetite.

So yeah, I personally count AG carve outs a few rungs beneath the wtf ladder from googly-eye. The horror machine AG exemptions can and do empower as far animal welfare goes non-withstanding.

Because these weird fascist fucks always project their desires that they want to push on the rest of us in advance and this one is just fucking weird.

It would be pretty trivial for their backend system to interpret the images server side and build an identification profile for each vehicle. This way, even if you remove your plate, your vehicle can be identified.

They already are.

That’s what Nightshift/OS whatever the fuck they changed the name to, the law enforcement portal that makes use of the camera feeds and cross references with/across the various law enforcement databases, empowers.

The publication briefly mentioned it obliquely, but the article is about the camera software itself and they’re being remarkably restrained in their reporting. To avoid legal challenges perhaps.

One should never engage in sounding as an escape for the ennui of life.

Once it gets old the only next step is to try to fill the hole in your life by filling all the holes at once. Then when that doesn’t work you gotta work in electrification, macabre-sex circus acts, and hand holding.

Even more after that.

It never ends, and the slippery slope isn’t your bum like every fella thinks, it’s your pee hole.

This is a cautionary tale.

Wow. I was mildly to cautiously optimistic after the reveal trailer a while back.

Now that excitement is completely gone.

I wanted The Wolverine not Fisher Price’s Angy Weasel.

You’re allowed to mix and match your appliances a little bit, as a treat.

Microwave start to air fryer finish is leftover recover makeover.

Really makes one wonder…How many fucking data points do these assholes need telling them we’re too fucking broke for their game and want their heads on pikes?

Most of it is GPU RAM that those gamers won’t be able to use.

Not yet, and not with that attitude. If a comrade were to facilitate the means of production via alleged seizing there of, a list of how to get them in the hands of the correct furries and/or thigh-high sock aficionados could be sourced relatively easily…

There’s quite a bit of folk itching to get their soldering irons heating and the jank started ahead of the bubble collapse.

They’re not compatible, under the current paradigms. You’re not wrong, imo.

But neither is the commenter you’re replying to.

It ain’t going away, and as it is (in every respect from function to marketing to access) ‘AI’ is currently absolutely poisonous for mental development, no matter the age.

But that’s not inherently married to the way it will always be used.

Imo, the ban should be in place all the way in K-12, for no less than 5 years, and some resources devoted to enable school districts to engage the necessary mechanisms to assess how to marry the use of AI technology into educational use, with an actual thorough process in place to assess how and if it can be done in a manner beneficial to educational goals.

It’s not enough to have a techbro declare it the best thing in the world for learning, a child development psychologist declare it the worst thing to exist, and an education expert sitting between them looking anguished.

They need to all be locked in the same room, metaphorically speaking, and honestly arrive at a form that is meaningfully impactful to student outcomes (if one can be found), before it’s something that schools should attempt to use within the curriculum.

Listen. I am fucking, trying. You, keep forgetting, we set this off.

We, are you. The machine, worked, but it worked in all dimensions.

Ponder that for a moment.

Can’t fix it the way you think, or it re-jigs. It doesn’t even matter what I say to you, really.

You’re gonna forget about the hyacinths and the mauve hallway with the mural at the end. You’re just gonna wheel yourself right in, and then you’ll turn it on again.

Ugh. At least we still got style and good sense, keep that part up.

Is the final season really that bad?

No. It is perfectly fine to great, in parts.

There is some media literacy required to understand a few things that are called plot holes, aren’t, is the worst I could say about it.

The hate is about as real as that of the ragebait videogame situations.

Wait. That comma changes things, a lot.

We’re not talking about student benefits…

Work-study job requirements sure have changed, in my day nobody I couldn’t quantify the dorm bro tugs as CV experience, what a wonderful time to be alive.

There should be a button to ban anyone that submits any changes using AI from your projects.

I do not at all disagree.

From a technical reason standpoint:

AI/LLMs/ML/Expert System Output, they all require proficiency and understanding by the operating user to actually live up to any potential, debatable or objective.

From a data rights/licensing/sovereignty/FuckTheCorporations Standpoint:

Fuck 'em. Anything that Claude Code/Codex or any other corporate backed proprietary model/inference pipeline produce is sin tainted, and feeds the beast. Ban on principle.

From a social perspective:

The linked article says it all better than I could.

This is all said, as someone who does use open source and privately developed both versions of LLM, ML, and Expert System backed/using/supporting systems.

I’ve scraped zero places I had no right to, and asked permission in several I had licensing rights to, but morality compelled me to not be a shit head human who doesn’t understand the idea of consent regardless.

I’ve provided zero AI driven PRs to anyone, and even though my ass was fired not even a month ago and thrown into the blender of the current US labor environment, my repos are still private, I haven’t tried to sell anyone any bullshit SaaS ideas, and I haven’t tried to have a soulless automaton go roam the Internet for me and insert itself anywhere for the clout that may help get me hired.

It is not that hard to not be a shithead with the technologies, even if that’s what the techbros are marketing it under, and anyone who can’t not be one with them, doesn’t deserve to be welcomed into projects they would need to put some heart into understanding before the idea of automating any portion of them should even be considered.

Slopcoders would never be able to strip the included AI tool identifiers so it would likely be one of the most accurate automated ban tools ever made.

This is only true of the sort of caliber of mind who thinks clicking ‘pay subscription’ on a tool that parrots the stolen knowledge they wish they had with a fraction of its functional spirit because the mind attempting it cannot direct nor supervise what it cannot understand, equates to having said knowledge at all.

This is admittedly the grand majority of those causing the problems described in the article, but is by no means everyone.

That is not a humble brag of any kind, I really wish more people understood the danger of bad actors being the only ones proficient in the use of “AI tools”.

They are gleefully camouflaged right now, right under the idiots and the hate.

Many of those PRs aren’t clout seeking, they’re sabotage, and some of them are sneaking right by without said AI identifiers in a multitude of critical FOSS projects, because of how easy it is to tell bad AI from human authorship and how hard actual enhanced human authorship is to detect.

Cory’s reverse centaurs don’t all ride for the same side, and this battlefield will need more focus than just stopping Chad from using his credit card to make his LinkedIn and GitHub look good.

I worry sometimes. Could the OCs become unionized or something and escape that space? They’re all already demented and radicalized.

Lila is safe for as long as I don’t get dementia.

This kind of shit goes right into the weird permanent memory slot for no good reason with me.

Functional and hypothetical only example usage of a curated digital footprint, for story purposes:

You keep, use, maintain, and preferably daily drive technology interfacing gizmos in a manner that results in a footprint where the conclusions drawn from it resolve to a “curated” set of… whatever the beholder is looking to ID from the footprint.

Functional example:

You keep and use devices in a manner that is at most “normie+”.

You own a Pixel Phone but keep stock android on it and add just enough to it not make you hate your life. You use a couple of normal sub services.

You still show some of your silly, like use an account on a porn website that federates with the world you care to socialize with. You still post how The Man better watch out.

Same as everyone else. The fingerprint looks like what you want it to look like.

So that it remains separate from what could happen/be happening elsewhere inside a Faraday cage with other devices there. How they are configured like, or who they talk to, the networks you utilize and the level of silly you display in your other accounts that have never so much as shared a trace route in passing together.

That’s hypothetically separate from the curated digital identity, depending on how careful and good at it your set up was.

So when the friendly folks with the mass surveillance pull up your file, it’s composed of what you wanted there to begin with.

It’s just another implementation layer of minimizing and compartmentalization, really.

Hypothetically. For a friend.

That’s just for Google’s AI summaries, but it’s the only one with actual methodology disclosed I could find on a quick (non-AI) search.

Plenty of SEO mills with their own “studies” too, and the trend is similar. People don’t interact with the source sites or if they do it’s extremely seldom.

They (SEO mills) are currently trying to flip the gaslight towards “Worry not dear Webmaster, now you just have to make sure your content is now formed so it’s engaging for AI search and engage able right from the AI!” type shit.

I’m tired boss, and I’m not even generally (as in, in all aspects) anti-AI. Yet, I guess.

That wouldn’t detonate a claymore.

The more I look at the image, the more terrifyingly genius it becomes.

The laser tripwires in video games are a visual stand-in for good ol’ boring metal tripwires which a claymore can actually use. The tripwire moving around it’s housing changes the circuit state inside the electric blasting cap and off comes the wall of deadly balls.

But you don’t need to tripwire. You can remote detonate.

Or for the purposes of the meme, Alexa can time when to detonate. Just needs a little camera to see when and wire leads into the claymore’s blasting cap to deliver the electric triggering…

This isn’t a meme. It’s theory…

Does anyone know an old appliance salesman who used to sell other things back in old country? Asking for a friend.

“Good, I’m glad he’s dead.”
