IOT botnets are a thing. And if someone wanted to fire sell the US, all the vulnerable home networks would be on the table too. Great for a bit if extra chaos.

They can match employee lists against public donor lists and start targeting people.

Apparently I can’t read well the first 30 minutes of the day.

I would rain down bagels baguettes upon my enemies’ heads! Muhahaha.

This one never gets me anywhere, but “begging the question” is actually a logical fallacy where you assume the result and use that as the basis of your argument. Otherwise, it raises the question.

The model isn’t afaik. I.e., if you download one of the models and run it locally. It’s the app with folks pasting proprietary, company secret, etc data into it.

Really, it’s the same problem as with ChatGPT, but now an organization in another country has your data. I guess we’ll see if our new techno bro overlords try to use this to their advantage across the board to limit competition, even from local processing.

Taking bets.

Thanks!

I refuse to watch those shit shorts; I think your theory has legs. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a way to turn them off.

I feel like you aren’t reading anything anyone is saying here. Go with canon, nikon, sony, or panasonic. Best of luck.

Write in pencil.

Why the hell would you wait to find out? That’s date #1 material right there.

I wonder how their McRonald’s is doing?

You can poison the routes within the BGP core to send traffic into a black hole. Basically, just tell everyone you have the best path, and they will send traffic to you.

There have been instances of this at the international level with adversary nations “accidentally” routing all traffic through them first. It can be done to a degree that it makes life difficult. They won’t be able to prevent you from finding a VPN that pops you out near a router that refuses the poisoned routes however- not without a global agreement at least.

The suit that took it away, not from the mom and pop owners. “Mom” already sold her half:

Mikkelson and his ex-wife Barbara founded Bardav – which owns the Snopes website – in 2003, and each owned a 50 percent shared in the company. When the two divorced, Barbara Mikkelson sold her share to Proper Media last July.

[…]

“Mikkelson, in conjunction with Green, intentionally did block Proper Media’s access to personnel, accounts, tools and data to take over Snopes and to prevent Proper Media from performing under the general services agreement,” Proper Media says in its lawsuit.

[…]

The company also accuses Mikkelson of misusing Bardav funds and says he was improperly reimbursed for legal fees related to his divorce and travel expenses from when he went on a honeymoon to Asia late last year with his new bride – Snopes employee Elyssa Young.

She sold her shares “last July”. He went on is honeymoon “last year”. Dad’s dick ruined the last good thing on the internet.

Myself.

No i didn’t. Feed a book into chat GPT. You will see what fast comprehension is. I think you missed the consciousness part.

Stop being an ass.

Edit: The average person knows approximately 15-20,000 words. This is between 14 and 15 bits minimum to address every word independently. But I’m no brainologist, and I don’t know that’s how processing speech actually works. This is all just for comparison to bitwise operations.

I think we understand a computer can read this text far faster than any of us. That is not the same as conscious thought though- it’s simply following an algorithm of yes/no decisions.

I’m not arguing with anything here, just pointing out the difference in what CPUs do and what human brains do.

Your last sentence should become some kind of philosophy.

I’m not sure if the “this interpretation” reference is about the “preemptive defederation as a last resort” or the “lying” bit, but the first doesn’t need an interpretation because it was stated in the post:

Defederation should only be considered as a last resort. However, based on their comments and behavior, no positive outcomes can be expected. We made the decision to preemptively defederate from Hexbear for these reasons.

The “lying” bit… I’m not sure where that comes from. It’s not the best “informed rhetoric,” that’s for sure.

Mmmm. I love me some Trekommie porn.
