@gabboman that appears to a giant kangaskhan mech, which would mean it’s not impossible to be at least partially real lol. I have my doubts about the gun though.

I have effectively moved to a neighbourhood so far left that I look not left enough - and I scream on the internet about fascism, went to the Marxism conference, and just had beers with the Greens.
@hacks4pancakes Lol - me in Wellington
Yes guys, the answer is capitalism.
With a side of convenience and laziness capitalism.
But we're stuck with the problem.
@hacks4pancakes thank you so much for the detailed explanation!
It mirrors my expectation of anything embedded systems. But it also helps understand what factors brought us to where we're now. And yes, it does help answer the question my brain is shrieking of why anyone would connect fridges to the open internet ...

@darth_hideout @startrekgifs that was my first thought too.

This. As someone who’s fought hard at companies to prioritize accessibility work, I think if executives get word that people with disabilities can “solve the issues themselves” you’ll actually get less accessible software (if you can believe it) in the long run.
I won’t fault someone for using what’s available, but anyone acting as if LLMs are a longterm solution for accessibility is either not thinking this through, or purposely engaging in bad faith.

@Cheeseness They're so gorgeous! ❤️😊
As companies replace human workers with AI agents, determining managers' grade and pay is becoming harder, as both often depend on how many people they manage (Pilita Clark/Financial Times)

If you were a Chinese spymaster and you managed to get the CEO of NVIDIA to fall for a honeypot, would you instruct your agent to:
Option 1: Extract information about how NVIDIA GPUs work, which he probably doesn’t know in detail and which could also be obtained by compromising a much lower-level employee.
Option 2: Encourage him to throw more and more money into circular financing deals to support an ‘AI’ bubble that will eventually crash and cause immense harm to the US economy and contagion across most of the West.
Now, personally, I’d pick option 2. That’s the one that would have the biggest return for Chinese global power and is something that couldn’t easily be done by other lower-risk means. It’s also harder to attribute because Huang would be absolutely convinced that he never told the agent anything secret and that the investment ideas were all his own.

@Etch9 damn... it works, I need to record a video of that :D
@davidgerard My friend's father bought a pirated CD which I ripped to mp3s. Those were the days.
Now that I think about it, I moved to Brunswick so I would never really have to secretly fear an older white, male neighbour's stance on like, any meaningful political issue. They look like traps, but they are in fact just PhDs try to play in their artisanal jazz band at the vegan protest.

@Lambo 2/2 fascinating liberty of thinking, this thirst of research and curiosity! And then I found the French schoolbooks of the later old women who had sold everything ...
Those schoolbooks told a very dark history of racism, colonialism.
And so I had a box of global history, the beginnings of space research and the later narrowed paths into political disaster.
Old books talk even if you can't understand their content. Nowadays, people even don't remember the names.
