Work Product and Attorney Client privilege are broken by AI use, making anything shared with an AI discoverable.

Defaulting AI on is how you get the corporate lawyers to make us drop Microsoft.

That’s just being a raider with good PR.

People don’t understand just how difficult it is to cool stuff in space. Half of the shit sticking out of the ISS that people think are solar panels are actually radiant cooling systems, and the ISS will generate WAY less heat per volume than a data center.

Honestly, Lemmy has been good for me in some ways because it isn’t as popular and doesn’t have the deep niche communities reddit has that I was super active in.

I get more accomplished now because I essentially “finish” my Lemmy browsing and move on, whereas reddit always had something else for me to dive into.

Why spend all that money and resources cultivating actual intelligence?

My parents bought a retirement property byba lake in the middle of nowhere and pit a boat on a lift on the dock. But the lake is a water supply lake, and their dock is only about 4-5 feet deep when the lake is full, which is only for about a week after a major flood these days.

Most of the time when I visit I end up driving under the boat with the lawnmower. It’s just a really expensive porch swing at this point. We can’t even take it to a different lake because it’s stuck on the slings

Flock is planning around that.

They’re increasingly making deals to put their surveillance tech on private property facing public property. The Amazon deal fell through, but it’ll be back much more quietly.

One of the groups they’re making deals with is HOAs. They’re replacing their existing neighborhood cameras with Flock cameras super cheap in order to get cameras facing the road where municipalities have banned them.

The fact that they’re making companies sign 5-year contracts for the current prices before selling anything at all says that they’re expecting the demand to collapse soon, and they want to lock in the high prices before that happens.

When industries pull this bullshit, they should be nationalized.

Sony sold the PS3 at a pretty significant loss and had an “OtherOS” feature that allowed people to install Linux on it.

Between that and ots cell architecture, it turned out to be a super affordable way to build supercomputers. Sony eventually disabled the OtherOS feature to combat people buying them en masse and costing Sony their lunch, and they got a LOT of flack for it.

Valve is doing the opposite. They’re keeping the openness, but charging enough money it’s not financially viable to buy a bunch of Steam Machines to build cheap AI clusters.
