I’m with you. My concern is that I haven’t yet figured out how it’s gonna be ruined for private consumers by corporate consumers yet, so can’t know how to prepare lol.

Always has been.

I don’t particularly think it’s a better change, but CloudFlare is thinking of other options, and with how widespread their use is, if they start doing it, so will everyone else:

Chavez-Carranza was stopped by an Alabama state trooper on Dec. 30.

In March, Chavez-Carranza applied for deferred action, which could protect him from deportation if granted.

“The problem with that is they have required him to do fingerprints, allegedly, for a background check before they can approve the deferred action,”

“They keep giving him notices to appear for his fingerprints in Birmingham, but he’s detained. So, he’s missed his last three appointments for fingerprints.”

I bet this causes the controlling mouth-breathers to ‘hyuk hyuk hyuk’ endlessly at their “brilliance” in two-facing (it’s not, they didn’t invent the playbook). If the people ever get their will (whether they will or not is not a subject of direct interest, I am of the mind that any aftereffects are History’s problem to parse) and the treason charges come, their appeal hearings should all be held in the farthest flung non-continental court available.

“Being in detention is a choice,” the agency said. “We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $2,600 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.”

Fuck these mouthpieces in particular, and their doublespeak. As if we didn’t already know of a plethora of cases where they “fucked up” (no, dear reader, I am aware of the real nature of the world and know it is not a fuck up) and detained actual citizens. I personally feel the “spoke-persons” deserve a whole extra book thrown at them, that the grunts don’t. These motherfuckers can supposedly read.

You are absolutely correct in all you said! And you also made several assumptions about the character actions; some considered already and some most illuminating! Thank you for improving my fiction!

Though the goal of the character isn’t at all the destruction of a resource. It is the simple and timely denial of access of the story’s antagonist to their tooling, at a time when they expected it to be working. Like during a bean counting competition at the country fair!

That’s also some of us before our stimulant medication kicks in. I swear to fuck, if I get called AI one more time…

This is not amateur hour. Radio waves are not analogous to just DDOS’ing over the Internet. The consequences and effects play out in the physical world.

You cannot scream into the void without the source being heard.

Say, I’m writing a story. A work of fiction. Sci-fi, really. Here’s a hypothetical sort of idea that I’m work shopping currently and might as well share:

Edit:

The protagonist needs to deal with some surveillance appliances, that use cellular network to communicate, and needs to jam them.

He goes around, and buys many small solar panels. He wires them to radios that work with Lora/Reticulum/And the Internet. He places them around the local town parks and such, near the surveillance appliances, months before he needs to disrupt them, slowly, unseen.

Still working on the climax, when he triggers them remotely and they do some cool stuff tho.

Always has been. Also the only one we get.

In other words, you’re arguing that their usage without discernment is detrimental.

Cory agrees on this very same article, and it also includes the same nuance this chain is trying to give voice to:

The other question Suresh implicitly raises is: “How can you reconcile the failure of AI in the enterprise with the individual claims of skilled technologists who insist that AI is helping them do great work?” The answer is that these AI users are “centaurs” – experienced workers who are assisted by automation on terms that they set for themselves.

Thanks to their skill and experience, these workers possess discernment, the ability to tell good code from bad, and (more importantly) good uses of code-generation tools from bad. They demonstrate the adage that worker-driven automation improves quality, while capital-driven automation improves throughput.

We wouldn’t be having this conversation if LLMs had been given the chance to grow into being the same way the web did. Whereas we would be having this same conversation with the letters swapped if corporations were the ones to spawn the WWW instead of the way it came about.

The reason is the same. There is only one war.

The glaring “floaty” physics is amateur tell hour, I’m actually surprised it’s even still an artifact. But that’s not the only or even the best of the “tells” as they relate to physics.

Probability, consistency, and continuity are always going to be issues present to some degree for one simple fact:

A camera takes a snapshot of the actual physical universe. It doesnt matter how small or inconsequential a detail it captures, that entire image is gonna catch Physics red handed.

An AI generation is making up everything, all the laws and rules. Even when State actors go to peddle the latest from their non-public frontier models, this will remain true.

Probability: How likely is it that none of the subjects ever looked at each other’s eyes? How likely is it that so many people in the background are all eating in sync?

Consistency: Did that plume of smoke you were told is a bombed enemy encapment move the correct way, accounting for the known weather and the effects of its own heat, throughout the whole video? Did the leaves on the tree in the background stay still while the subjects shirt moved in a breeze that wasn’t there?

Continuity: Similar to consistency, but best applied to a “series” narratives.

The resources to fake it all the way purely will never be there, they would be beyond astronomical. The human editing needed to seal in those gaps takes some time.

The lies are needed faster than they can be made detection proof.

People haven’t forgotten. Just now, I saw a very thorough breakdown on the history of the French Revolution, summarized down to social media length, by someone masquerading as a slime monster with a moniker about how they feel about less than stellar code.

Sure, not everyone remembers the specifics of how XYZ was achieved throughout history. Some willfully, others because the opportunity was taken from them.

That’s why it’s so important to remember History. A cautionary tale is an approach in need of reforms, with pre-identified lessons to be built upon.

There’s a world’s worth of work, and a need for (the collective unnamed) you.

Bingo. This is the reason, and it’s fairly transparent imo.

They’re laying down the pathetically depressing (in all connotations) path to wring their hands and start to justify atrocities with the economy (uh, even further, that is):

“We had to defend ourselves and the Iranians forced our hands, it would have cost too much to fabricate new precision munitions and risked Jim-Bob’s farm, hell, all of our livelihoods”.

(Jim-Bob here being a “poor farmer” plant in the discourse to move Middle America. In reality, Jim-Bob is in Wisconsin two weeks out of the year, lives in a NY penthouse, and most of his money doesn’t come from his multi-state AG operation but from the kickbacks and money laundering of subsidies).

I guess that’s one way to adapt your forces to the incoming subservience of the puppets-turned-would-be-puppeteers. Gotta have the Iowa cornfield boys used to the ways of 3000 year old promises.

Oh yes. Purging your armed forces of anyone belonging to groups that historically had to face mountains of bullshit already to get where they were, and still on average manage to rise and achieve more than the (almost always already maligned towards them) baseline organization expectations.

That’s one of Sun Tzu’s most famous chapters on the Art of War. Comes right before the chapter outlining how you then foment widespread resentment amongst your own population and particularly target members of said same groups.

Incredible strategic thinking, never has backfired in the history of the World.

Working? Narcissistic tendencies don’t limit themselves like that. The specimen experiences reality assuming everything its eyes see should be loyally beholden to it: Person, Woman, Man, Camera, or TV.
