It means I think everyone else is an asshole.
I might be too, but I don’t think I am.

Right, but that’s not to protect them from AI. It’s to protect them from us, once we come to our senses.


Because the people with money know they don’t have to listen to the little people.
We don’t even need overblown fears about AI killing everyone. AI is ruining students, ruining artists, causing massive layoffs, being used to monitor and judge our behavior, and is attempting to influence our behavior. It seems there are attempts to give these glorified auto-complete programs increasing amounts of resources and authority.
This is bad for most people. And those of us born after 1980 or so have no illusions that anyone in power is going to care about the welfare of the little people. They only recognize money and power. We don’t have money, but there are many kinds of power. I hope someone recognizes the signs, and changes course before it gets bloody.


I had been at work for two hours, but yes.


I missed the “X” in that title, and read “EFF is leaving the Electronic Freedom Foundation,” and was very confused.


If I could get a slide-out keyboard, like I had on my sidekick, or even a T9, I’d ditch autocorrect in a heartbeat.


No, just autocorrect deciding it knows better than me.


I’m a huge fan of her work. The world needs more hot athletic women with swords.
If necessary, “hot” can be dispensed with. “Athletic” too, as required.


Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the worst is these: Vader was right again.


Distilling is dangerous is it goes wrong.
Making meth is dangerous even if everything goes right.
That waste heat is very humid, which causes corrosion and mold issues.


I think Microsoft may be overdrawn on that particular credit line.


It would be nice if this served as a pointed lesson to stop putting useless, unwanted, invasive features and AI into things. Or at least to make them work.
Bread and circuses. It’s not complicated.


Like I said, I’m not exactly the most informed. I can just about handle supply and demand.


I would argue that women ruined the economy by way of suddenly doubling the available workforce. That sort of thing has got to cause issues.
On the other hand, my education on the subject consists of one class that I’m pretty sure I failed.
Further, the alternative is for women to be unable to make their own way, and that is not acceptable.


Our incompetent fuck of a president might lead us to war with Iran.


Oh they will. The liberals must pay for what Trump did.


They might as well. I can’t avoid buying EA games any harder than I already do.


Isn’t the after sex cigarette kind of a trope?
Let me be clear. I fully support the assassination of Donald Trump, by an American citizen. I lack the skills to do it myself, and I’m not interested in losing my life to a ineffective gesture, or I’d do it myself.
My reasoning is simply that he is not going to live long enough to be tried and imprisoned for this, and if he dies of natural causes, then he will never have paid any price, suffered any consequence, or been in any meaningful way censured for all the harm he has done to the world. Only his death at the hands of an American Citizen can go any distance at all towards correcting that.
If he is allowed to go without even a slap on the wrist, then future generations can only assume that we, all of us, approved of his behavior.
