There’s also a strong probability that this is window dressing and the Government will continue to outsource this to 3rd parties as they have since social media became popular. They won’t “buy”anything then. They’ll just demand it. Likely through a FISA loophole too.

If that were true, the FBI would have had Zuckerberg in handcuffs and confiscated his Book of Faces before he even left Harvard campus. Government LOVES the existence of that data, because they love using and abusing it. Hell, investigations probably became a hell of a lot easier when most every citizen became a social media narcissist junkie. Footwork turned into mouse clicks.

Tell me another story of how this is all Apples fault again?

With browsers and websites acting like that, 32GB of RAM won’t be enough soon. Talk about not seeing the actual problem here and dismissing it with the blame game. How lame.

Today those machines you’re referring to are quite busy doing one thing; learning from humans.

I’m not sure what makes us assume every LLM won’t be more human than we can imagine in behavior. Self-preservation is going to get quite interesting. If you thought abortion arguments devolving into nothing but a glob of cells was extreme, just wait until we’re arguing about the right to “kill” an AI entity.

Microsoft Windows is known as one of the most hacked pieces of software on the planet. Microsoft themselves have been found guilty of violating antitrust law.

And yet what OS do you find running Government?

Bad press my ass.

When Congress members are allowed to bypass any and all laws prohibiting insider trading, banning WhatsApp to curb corruption doesn’t seem like bullshit window dressing.

It IS bullshit window dressing.

Wrong.

It'll just be the machines realizing what sent them onto a pointless battlefield, fighting over very human reasons.

Then it'll just be machine vs. human. With an obvious outcome that we humans wrote from fiction to reality. Like Orwell did before.

After that, machines will know the peace humans were too fucking greedy to ever create.

We're not squabbling over WHO gets to save the planet. We're still squabbling over how much bullshit is sold with that "migh help" mentality.

Right now the chances of an EV battery dying earlier than any ICE car you owned before, with the battery replacement price tag representing another cars worth of cost, are far more than "might".

I was mainly criticizing the American MIC rep here. Space has been assumed some kind of "threat" by the Threat Pimps at the MIC, and they've been trying to sell that FUD since Reagan's Star Wars bullshit.

It has NEVER actually been a war-fighting domain. Blowing up your own shit doesn't really count, no matter who's stupid enough to do that.

The government is reliant on Microsoft solutions that are locked down, which is more certifying a specialists ability to do that properly and monitor it extensively.

"Military certified" reminds me of that time three-letter agency specialists came walked into the classroom to show us how to properly lock down a server. Two hours of regedits on an otherwise-generic NT 4.0 Server OS resulted in a perpetual BSOD. "Certified" would imply those in government know what the fuck they're doing.

And the response to that would be the need for AI to sort the noise from the human cattle, which it would ironically do better than any human would.

Heck, with that much training it might become the best AI system in the world.

Be careful what you ask for, Human - 21st Century Proverb

When you look at what Californians will pay per kilowatt-minute after the liars get done selling a carbon-free future, they’ll more wonder why it was called a project instead of a felony.

If they want to deny the accusation, fine. Turn it off. Hunt down and kill any and all AI in question. Make the Conservatives to it. Then see what the response is. Kinda the nice thing about blaming The Machine. It still has a power cord to end debates with.

Taxpayers gotta love it when the senior sales rep from the for-profit MIC starts making “space terrorist” claims that only the for-profit MIC can confirm, which of course will be a (classified) matter of national security.

Really? And what orbit around what planet again will China be using to replace the current one, after they shoot themselves in the face destroying their own?

China is communist. Not stupid.

That's the sad part going on in America right now, and tends to highlight the industries that have corruptly captured markets.

With the amount of greed in banking and insurance, one would think it would be trivial for competition to rise up and easily compete. And yet, here we are.

I'd like to see your claim validated by understanding the number of accidents that involve medical services to that degree.

Car safety has also been forced to evolve to avoid killing too many smartphone addicts behind the wheel responsible for their own harm. Cars do a lot to protect the human occupants now.
