Only a matter of time before the combined stupidity of AI and human laziness result in someone just believing that nuclear war can be winnable.

Maybe AI/LLM being programmed by self-serving interests has bled through to the “thought” process. Do unto others before they do unto you.

Ignorant parents unwilling to monitor their kids or utilize already available tools to aid in preventing access to inappropriate material want devs to do so for them, ushering in a surveillance state.

FWIW maybe an office job isn’t for everyone. Some people need different challenges and changes of scenery. Some of those jobs may be a bit more blue collar. Things like survey teams, equipment operators, trades, etc. Probably union gigs, too. I couldn’t handle office politics or being trapped either.

But one seems to always grant the other. You don’t get just the power, or just the money.

That would seem like an awful idea that would be a dangerous security risk to the fighter.

So they probably did it anyway.

I have listened to several of his interviews. That’s why I even bother to indicate I appreciate his take. Pardon me if I treat someone with skepticism riding heavily on a platform that is at minimum rehotorically religious stating they believe in separation of church and State.

Ok, I see your point. It is a fine line. But I’m trying to make the distinction here that Talarico’s popularity is in a large part because of his vocal religious take. I firmly believe in separating church and State, and just because I agree with what one “church” is saying doesn’t mean we should invite the devil in the door yet again.

Wouldn’t that be something?

But that’s not what I said. I said keep your religion outta my government. I didn’t say you couldn’t have religion.

Talarico seems to have his shit together. That said, keep your religion the fuck outta government. It’s fine pointing out the religious hypocrisy and charlatans in politics, but opening the door to religion, even if the individual is agreeable, is a bad idea.

A feature, not a bug. If you never find it you spend more time trying to find it and therefore see more of what they want you to see.

Extra mistakes in blue states I’m sure.

There will be parents that give a shit about how their kids learn to learn, and there will be others that dgaf, or at least bot enough of one, to keep their kids from just mashing the easy button and using “cheats” like AI. Unfortunately plenty of the latter will get management positions.

You’re asking a lot of an already uncaring system. 10% can do plenty of damage.

I’m sure there’s ways around that. Different cards, PO boxes, email addresses, names. Even if they had only 4 ways of buying that’s still almost 30 buys a week times however many scalpers there are.

Then scalpers would buy them and jack the price up.

How many lines of code have they had to fix thanks to AI?

Terminator said AI would destroy humanity. We just didn‘t know it would be with hoarding of natural and manufactured resources to fuel an idiocracy. No pitched and desperate war for the survival of humanity, just a necrosis eating us alive for the quarterly report.

They‘ll just make it with secret phone-home spying and backdoors.

E: what‘s this? All these folks either saying the US does it or skipping past all the phone-home spyware China includes in devices? Guess that means cheaper spying hardware is ok then?

Because printers generally just worked and buying OEM expensive refills was a temporary discomfort that, if it bothered you enough, you could work around by getting third party refills and save some money.

But since they’ve started locking down printers to reject refilled cartridges and third party cartridges it’s come to a head and people are looking for alternatives.

3D and CNC are entirely different animals, for multiple reasons. There were pretty much zero hobbyist devices and the available ones were so far out of reach that nobody could afford them except prototyping labs or manufacturers. The hobbyists did most of the legwork making 3D printers and home CNC work before manufacturers decided it was worth getting into the technology. Nobody needed really needed them like paper printers were needed for everything from school work to everyday business.
