Advertising does this every day. Proselytizing just sells ideas instead of products. Users are not asked for consent either way.

Given how many attacks are false flags conducted through proxies this would be disastrous.

However, open intermediary victims up to contributory lawsuits and everyone will have to take security more seriously. Think twice before you connect that new piece of shit IoT device.

Currently at an airport right now. Nobody will even TAKE cash. I could be holding a million dollars right now but I cant use any of it to buy a coke. Availability is not the bottleneck.

You're being gaslit. The point is to make you look unproductive.

The untrained temp workers using AI to do the entirety of their jobs aren't producing code of professional quality, it doesn't adhere to best practices or security unless you monitor that shit like a hawk but if you're still engineering for quality then AI is not the first train you've missed.

They will get code into production quicker and cheaper than you through brute force iteration. Nothing else matters. Best practices went the way of the rest of the social contract the instant feigned competence became cheaper.

Even my podunk employer has AI metrics. You won't escape it. AI will eventually gatekeep all expertise and the future employee becomes just a disposable meat interface (technician) running around doing whatever SHODAN tells them to.

It's not the only market they've cornered.

If you are paying for a VPN, the odds are good that it's owned by Kape Technologies, another Israeli company staffed by former Unit 8200 personnel. PIA and a bunch of others are now under their purview.

They'll say they don't keep logs, but only an idiot would trust that.

Cellebrite also does questionable shit with phone forensics; newer products upload phone images to "the cloud." Supposedly it is instanced and law enforcement is just supposed to trust that yet another function the Justice Department outsources to Israel isn't backdoored by them, like Inslaw/PROMIS.

Philosophy has proven invaluable in identifying the sophistry behind every recent progressive movement.

Improper cleaning maybe. People get Legionnaire's from shitty motel rooms with AC units that don't drain correctly, so it isn't that farfetched for a closed loop respirator full of moisture to harbor nasty pathogens all the same.

Grading on curves and having kids play zero sum games where there don’t need to be any is what makes bad behavior unethical and unethical behavior a habit at an early age. With AI everyone can have mentors in every discipline (some better that others). So instead of encouraging laziness with laziness, invest in gamifying the degree

I agree with all else but I get a different impression here.

The unethical behavior really ramped up not with participation trophies per se, but around the same time we started gamifying everything. People treated each other like NPCs in GTA to abuse for their own amusement or advancement. On the internet we stopped being people and became targets to destroy. Nothing appeals to psychopathic behavior like turning any environment into a feedback loop of reward-seeking.

"Gamifying" life should give anyone pause when you witness how people act within existing game systems. How much effort is spent policing fraud, abuse and antisocial behavior within zero-stakes environments of games themselves? Multi-player Minecraft is unplayable unless you band together into tribal cliques with private servers (de-facto ingroup "racism" with no inclusivity clause for trolls); otherwise random people will log in, destroy your world on purpose and leave. We see similar behavior in real life from terminally-online types committing arson and trying to bait law enforcement into killing people. It's not coincidental.

Gamifying anything drives a competitive environment in which people are compelled to win (dominate) by any means necessary. It's not ethical to force opponents into bankruptcy by ruthlessly exploiting them, but it's the literal point of Monopoly.

School itself is gamified through the reward of grades and privileges. The system you describe is the one we already have. People will always have incentive to cheat to get ahead, especially when competing for or trying to retain tenured positions.

They begrudgingly paid restitution for the Liberty decades later.

Sometimes I wonder what's so special about Israel that they keep getting away with everything.

A doctrine of full spectrum dominance, lack of ethical constraints and aggressive propagandizing would make anyone unstoppable.

There was no mistaken identity. They knew it was an American ship and attacked it on purpose. It was witnessed and documented that they made the decision to deliberately attack an American warship, then tried to excuse themselves from responsibility.

They were targeting lifeboats and engaging in other dishonorable behavior we've since seen repeated in Gaza as well. "Going all out" is not warfare, it is sadism in violation of the Geneva Convention.

Like a child, if you provide some reason for why something should be avoided, negations work better.

I.e. "DONT WALK (because cars are about to enter the intersection at velocities that will kill you)"

Jailbreaking just takes this to an extreme by babbling to the point of brainwashing.

Often when someone, especially a comedian, complains about “political correctness”, what they actually mean is: nobody is laughing at the same joke I told 20 years ago

Don't rephrase others' sentiments to suit your own narrative. Soothsayers are bullshitters.

When comedians complain about political correctness, there is no alternate meaning. They are upset that they can't tell the same jokes they told 20 years ago, to the same audiences from 20 years ago that continue to enjoy them, because external forces mob, heckle, and harass them so they cannot serve their customers...

...which conveniently provides opportunities for those younger people to "build great careers," by eliminating all legacy competition.

In any other context it'd be driving the local kebab shop owner out of town because someone with influence wants to open a salad bar in its place.

It's mob rule, not "social justice."

This was about Elon's "Nazi salute" and both so incorrect and blatantly astroturfed I haven't returned to Reddit out of disgust.

A ton of near-dead subreddits with no activity and no reason to link to x.com for any reason suddenly had thousands of people show up demanding links to x.com be blocked like it's an everyday problem for the sub.

The quiet beneficiary of this campaign are those who benefit from Reddit's groomed narrative and their competing platform Bluesky.

Those are old accounts that were stolen by large-scale password spraying attacks. I've lost a few to this.

What does this sort of wordplay ever add to any conversation? The topic is small towns in Japan, not a survey of Jewish complaints from 100 years ago.

Around 2014 'kindness is weakness' became part of the social fabric so we all put on tough fronts to not be identified as targets.

Big-city people were always like this. The internet brought big-city culture to every corner of the planet. Now everyone has to act like a New Yorker.

Consumer debt too.

Much saber rattling concerning Iran as of late, and Republicans love reviving failing economies with war.

Buyer beware.

How AI models are trained with a great disregard to consent, ethics, and licenses.

You must be joking. Consumer models' primary source of training data seems to be the legal preambles from BDSM manuals.

Yandex does the same.

No.

Ranitidine was pulled from US shelves. Indians sell it online. It's the real deal.

Alldaychemist is legit, but I've only bought dermatological/beauty stuff there.

I've even bought Modafinil from some US based website that shipped from India. Customs believed it was legit and seized a few shipments. One that got through didn't do shit but maybe it's just me.

You see techno-fascism, others here see a business opportunity.

It's all the same to me but that's often how it goes. Everyone is a sleeper agent until compelled to act by whatever means. Israelis do the same thing under the sayanim program (appeal to loyalty). Malware agents are staged until called upon using the same strategy.

I don't know what motivated this guy's disappearance but you don't get quietly fired, scrubbed from public association and have the FBI raid your apartment when you're a victim of abduction. We know some sort of federal crime took place to justify the raid so my guess is the guy is not an abductee but a fugitive.

Sounds like possible espionage. Chinese spies spook easily and flee the country long before the FBI gets its shit together.

It's a musical. Either of your interpretations applies.

We have an FBI, they're just busy chasing Russian and Chinese boogeymen so they dont look too closely at the actual miscreants.

I don't think he did it out of the goodness of his heart, the calculus just happened to work out in favor of the worker in this singular case

It wasn't a singular case.

He was principled enough about it that Dodge sued to compel him to put shareholders' interests ahead of employees and customers-- a suit Ford fought against, and lost.

They unionized in recent news.

"We're like a family here!"

So we can look forward to being asked for many unpaid favors, and a spate of domestic violence around the holidays.

And even if it does, the burden of understanding what the AI does falls onto my shoulders, and as everyone knows, understanding someone elses code is 10x harder than writing your own.

Which means we're doing it backwards.

AI writes code as well as a committee of StackOverflow users but reads it without breaking a sweat. Use AI to do the harder part.
