Clickwrap should have been made illegal when they started doing it a quarter century ago. If I put a tracker on your car, I’m a criminal, but if every automaker drops a clause into the “user terms” on their vehicle sales, then every car you buy gets tracked forever, perfectly legally.

We need more developed language for this. In my head “vibe coding” is when you write entirely in natural language prompts and don’t actually read, edit, or review the code. Everyone seems to have a different idea.

I can’t recall the name, but there was at least one project that had a kind of static web proxy of shared immich albums, so you can expose that to the internet for sharing and keep Immich its self internal network only.

I am not convinced there is actually any real plan to use them for anything other than training more AI. Its either market manipulation to boost their stock values even higher or they are shooting for the mythical AGI.

You don’t think most comments on YT are bots? I honestly hope they are or people are just dumber/shittier than I thought.

About a third of people know that. Another third were convinced that “their” billiinaire can fix things, as long as he gets just a little more power. The lasy third doesn’t want to hear about politics.

The fact that Usenet still gets a steady stream if spam tells me the bots will continue even when all the people leave.

Hardware isn’t the limitation, its willingness to fight locked down hardware and the power management of android. You might be able use ADB to control it, install termux and then with that, SSH server and then a server of some sort.

In my experience, most phones don’t seem to boot sans battery, so its just a matter of time until the battery goes poof and your system goes down. Some manage it though - you do get a decent amount of hardware for the power consumption.

Indeed. I remember someone I respected raving that they had their new WinXP computer on for 2 weeks straight without it crashing and being blown away by the new advanced technology.

Teenage me didn’t have any idea that would have been a low bar even in the 1980s.

Their strategy since the 80s has been to half-ass shit and sell it to large scale businesses, establish their software as the default software across industries, so then everyone else has to learn and buy it.

Literally started with MS DOS. Then Windows, Internet Explorer, Office, and lots of small stuff. They kill entire industries that were making better software. None of the above 4 things were Microsoft even close to better than preexisting software. People were swearing off DOS and Windows 3x when they crashed constantly in the early 90s and late-stage capitalism said “hold my beer” and made them the most valuable company in history within a decade.

Funny. Their strategy seems to make them plenty of money.

In this case they will also employ the age old enshitification strategy. Instead of (or along with) filling it with advertisements, they can simply drop the model parameters to make it cheaper while pushing it to more and more sloppy content.

Smaller models are incredibly cheap to run, and if people are convinced they want slop, they win. That is why AI is paired with the larger scale project of dumbing down everything.

Why not post the original source 404Media instead of this recycled content site? 404 is great. https://www.404media.co/microsoft-wants-to-make-people-addicted-to-scout-its-new-ai-assistant-internal-documents-reveal/

You are correct. That was the death kneel of a really cool e2e encrypted chat app that came before Signal/Text secure. I can’t recall the name atm. You are relying on them wanting to avoid the reputational damage of getting caught (it would be trivial for a security researcher to compare two client apps and see the different JavaScript. Beyond that, yeah, they can serve you a compromised site one time and extract your keys.

Indeed. AI agents cannot “discover” zero days, they can only discover vulnerabilities. The humans can create zero days by reporting the vulnerability in the media without disclosing it properly.

While everyone had 56k modems, they laid millions of miles of finer optic cable. That sounds like brute forcing to me. Most of it laid there dark for 20 years.

And more time to relax while it is “kajiggering…”

Detecting human movement is old. Identifying and tracking specific humans is new.

That’s easy, there’s a list. I think people call it the “Epstein files”. Those people.

The MAGA thing is literally what the oligarchs cooked up to insulate themselves. They aren’t even remotely secretive of their connection to it. It was “take two” of the tea party.
