Isn’t that what those supporters are there for? … to be scammed

Isn’t that what those supporters are there for? … to be scammed
A beautiful stick indeed.
I’d spend an hour debarking it with my pocket knife, round off the ends and smooth out any sharp edges.
Then not feel like going for a walk and go inside to make a meal instead.
*Windows won’t take screenshots of everything you do after all (that the company will admit to without you knowing)— unless you opt in
It arrives with one critical screw missing making the whole thing unusable.
I guess it’s better than … “On your knees meatbag”
It’s all based on geography.
If the school is located in a mineral rich area or underground oil field, then that wasn’t a school, it was a military base and those weren’t students they were terrorists.
If the school is located in aa area that lacks any natural wealth, then the robots have become autonomous and acted without control by anyone. It was an accident.
The biggest problem with emerging AI is that we are absolutely terrible parents.
Humanity has a child that going to become an amazing prodigy and instead of teaching them to be decent, open, honest, compassionate and helpful … we are raising an entity that is learning that making money and concentrating power is the motivation for everything in life.
We are trailer trash parents who are raising a child that will grow up to become more powerful than we could ever be. Or at the very least become a monstrous pet that will be controlled by whoever has the most money and power.
I wonder what could possibly go wrong.
A great example that we ALL follow the one true religion …
Money! … All hail the Almighty infinite dollar! (or whatever local currency you have)
Lol … If I was hired by Trump … I’d pass all the documents I had to fill out though AI like this guy did and collect my half a million dollar payment.
From a technical point of view I agree … I have a few friends who work in music and visual arts and they swear by Apple products and software
But to average users and people who just want to go online with social media, snap a picture, share it, forget it and do it over and over and over again … they really don’t care if it’s an apple product or not. The family and friends I know that are not technically minded only understand one key technological specification when it comes to devices … PRICE and COST.
If they can’t afford a $1,000 apple phone … they’ll buy a $500 android phone … or just stick to their five year apple phone and won’t upgrade until they can buy a used $500 apple phone.
Or everyone is starting to figure out that the garden looks just as good outside the fence as it does inside the fence. Technology has been converging for many years now to the point where most devices especially smart phones have reached a bottleneck and no one can make things go any faster and there is really no big need for even more massive storage space for the average person. So phones have hit a ceiling and the place that Apple once had where they were one of the few manufacturers that made good phones is now overshadowed by lots of other companies that are comparable or near comparable. Does the average person really care if they have a high definition 20MP camera or a 22 MP camera. All they care about is being able to scroll through Tik Tok, FB or Instagram and no one really seems to care what device they use to do that any more.
It’s an arms race and Lemmy is only a small player right now so no one really pays attention to our little corner. But as soon as we get past a certain threshold, we’ll be dealing with the same problems as well.
Doesn’t mean that the fediverse is immune.
News stories and narratives are still fought over by actors on all sides and sometimes by entities that might be bots. And there are a lot of auto-generating content bots that post stuff or repost old content from other sites like Reddit.
AI has a already won in these confrontations
Surface To Air missile made human piloted aircraft obsolete.
All that’s needed now are a bunch of missiles, plug into an AI program and let it run by itself.
Why would militaries invest in a billion dollar aircraft piloted by a highly trained aircraft pilot with years of training that cost millions of dollars that is probably paid millions over many years … when the pilot and his aircraft can be shot down by a $100,000 missile. If you can’t do it with one missile, send three, four or ten, it’s still cheaper than matching them with an aircraft and pilot.
Instead of investing in expensive aircraft and pilots, all a defending country can do is just spend the same amount of money and surround their country with anti aircraft missiles controlled by AI systems.
She’s not looking at the sun … she’s just looking at some random part of the sky
Same similiar thing happened with major newspapers about 100 / 150 years ago … governments realized that if any one group or company had control over all the information without regulation, businesses will quickly figure out ways to monetize information for the benefit of those with all the money and power. They then had to figure out how to start regulating newspapers and news media in order to maintain some sort of control and sanity to the entire system.
But like the newspapers of old … no one will do anything about all this until it causes a major crisis or causes a terrible event … or events.
In the meantime … big corporations controlling 99% of all media and news information will stay unregulated or regulated as little as possible until terrible things happen and society breaks down.
Pockets? I’ve asked my family to have my organs removed and have my body filled with cherry bombs, as well as install more cherry bombs in my limbs and joints before having my remains cremated standing upright on a stage to be viewed by all my friends and acquaintances. As my body burns and the firecrackers go off, my limbs will flail around in a comically random way before the entire body just explodes.
Getting shafted by corporations all the time feels like this …
If you do a good job as CEO we’ll pay you $1 million
If you mess up as CEO we’ll pay you $900,000
If you really mess up as CEO we’ll pay you $800,000
If you completely tank the company … we’ll pay you $2 million
A friend of mine just sent me a Facebook link that says that decomposed candidate #2 was caught taking bribes from corporations … and that they’re a communist.
