AI allows drawing conclusions from mass movement information, it is beyond just someone's location, it would allow predicting market moves based on movement of groups of people.

This is not just about following any one person, this is about information movement, following a group of people who work on the same project for example to understand when they are going towards the same site / goal. This is beyond dangerous.

There is a statistically significant increase in deaths when the time change occurs. This proves that it is not simple for at least some people.

If you want to appeal to technology then go all the way! Propose using hours from sunrise at your location for daily activities, plus a universal time constant which applies even on other planets. You can calculate what the time is anywhere from your smartphone, right?

Come on guys, this is your moment! Come tell us how everything isn't a conspiracy, and the corporations aren't all out to get us!

This is how businesspeople behave all the time. Virtually all of them see us as a lesser species to be manipulated and milked for profit. Advertising is manipulation of your emotional state to cause you to make decisions you'll regret. The whole business world runs on gaslighting you, the only difference between this and that is degree. It's a war for your wallet, and your security and sanity are the casualties.

If you don't buy a racing car Porsche is middling at best without any luxury features other than a vroom vroom noise.

I see you have no idea what the top end of their catalogue looks like, but still want to flap your yap as if you had anything relevant to say.

I'm sad for you that you've not experienced luxury to the point where you can't even identify what it is.

I'm sad for you that you're suck a clown-assed cuck for the wealthy. You constantly bend over and spread for anyone in a position of authority because you're easily impressed by power. You're never going to understand the kind of harm you do by being an enabler for the worst people.

It looks good, it works well, and Claude produced an SBOM and a security audit.

Since Claude is not a human, Claude cannot sign off on a security audit.

If a human signed off on Claude's security audit without verifying it themselves, they deserve exactly what they're going to get.

Yes, native apps. With AI it will be trivial to either support more platforms

As the price of DRAM, SSD storage, electric power, and data center real estate rise, what prevents LLM service providers from suddenly raising their rates such that it's no longer less expensive than hiring a human? Compare what happened when Broadcom jacked up the price of VMware.

And what prevents programmers whose copyrighted programs have been included in the LLMs' training set from suing LLM service providers for copyright infringement on grounds that the output of the LLM is substantially similar to their programs, and the LLM is not following the license? I remember that demonstration where an LLM had effectively memorized the reciprocal square root routine from the GPL source code of Quake III Arena and failed to include the "appropriate copyright notice" mandated by the GNU GPL. Even permissive licenses, such as Apache 2, MIT, 3BSD, and zlib, require preservation of the copyright notice in derivative works. Doe v. GitHub, pending in the Northern District of California.

W need to force OSes, using regulations, to open up their OSes. It will be difficult, but it can be done.

In Slashdot's home country, both copyright and radio transmission are regulated at the federal level. So what's the plan for to peterww and tepples to start to change the laissez-mourir policies popular among conservative members of the U.S. Congress? See "antisocialist", "extreme capitalism", and "laissez-mourir" in RMS's glossary.

We already have the momentum because even senators acknowledge their monopoly power.

I wouldn't be so sure of that momentum. Several countries in the European Union have implemented age gating through an application that runs only on an iPhone or a certified Android phone. An iPhone runs proprietary iOS, published by foreign monopolist Apple Inc. A certified Android phone runs proprietary Google Play Services, published by foreign monopolist Google LLC. The EU talks out both sides, regulating foreign "gatekeepers" on one side (the Digital Markets Act and provisions of Digital Services Act that apply to very large online platforms) and requiring use of services provided by said "gatekeepers" (provisions of Digital Services Act that apply to "protection" of minors).

Comment No domestic non-driver ID in UK (Score 1) 62

Last I checked a few years ago, the United Kingdom offered no domestic non-driver ID. It offers only a driving licence, which requires access to a motor vehicle and probably paying someone to let the learner practice driving in their vehicle for some number of hours, or a passport, which is valid for international travel but expensive. If this has changed, let me know.

"Generally this isn't true, instead it is stored in large quantities of stock or other assets"

It is still used as a leveraged mechanism with which to purchase things. How the hell do you think they live in big fucking houses and have chauffeurs? Thus it is effectively cash.

And with that cash they buy power, hoard resources, and generally fuck over the human population.

You're absolutely blind to how stock gets used. You're the one trolling, here.

This is the cycle of capitalism.

I think we've all seen that script about hard times creating strong men creating good times creating weak men. What the nitwits who think it's the ultimate aphorism don't understand is a) what either of those words mean or b) that this applies just as much to nepo babies like the CEOs they worship.
