Supply and demand sounds nice, but then innocent citizens can still get arrested for following their own economic interests and chipping in on a GoFundMe whose only crime was hiring a ninja to threaten these RAM company assholes who are too rich for normal laws to keep them in check.

This is a joke, of course. I would never do anything like that - because I don’t understand how BitCoin works. I mean, because of moral and good citizen reasons. That was another joke, your honor.

Yes. And I need to watch Elisium again.

Pencil pushers gonna push pencil.

I’ll be surprised if we learn there was actually no dark web back room deal providing this stuff to anyone who didn’t appreciate the law getting in the way.

lol. Yes.

I will sign up for Mullvad tomorrow if he actually does something meaningful about it.

I haven’t even looked up the price, but I’ll keep my word.

Only I won’t have to, because the odds are this guy is another spineless piece of shit.

At the very least set up a Mastodon account somewhere in addition to those.

Yes!

I want to get a huge banner flag with this sentence printed on it, and pay someone to run past various offices with it each day.

Could be those Flock cameras, with all the enshittification going on, just fall apart on their own.

I heard that too.

Yes. His Mom looked shifty. Not enough evidence to convict.

Expect an import ban on Chinese made ram to be coming soon.

Yes. I do half-way expect that.

Of course, I also look forward to investing in novelty keychains, which just coincidentally come with a free teddy bear, which itself has a couple of RAM sticks sewn inside.

Fair point.

Its the same product with/without.

AI copies from the middle of the curve of quality averages, throwing out the highest and lowest quality examples (for being different).

Use of AI does have bearing on quality.

A skilled team can undo that harm, and a particularly unskilled team may be better off with AI than without.

But it is incorrect to claim that AI has no impact on quality of outcome.

The company’s shares plunged by 8% the day after the Luce was unveiled.

Lol. They let an iPhone designer design a Ferrari, and it really shows. (Edit: The iPhone designer just designed the interior, I’m told.)

Whoever designed that smooth as a booger look clearly didn’t have a poster with Ferrari on it, in their room, as a kid.

I would sell their stock too, if I had any.

Holy cow. I’m stealing that. The reverse Turing test is whether we humans have the brains not to turn everything over to untrusted AI. Lol.
