No no books aren't needed either. Humans survived for tens of thousands of years without books. Don't need 'em. Let people learn to read at age 20 if they so desire.

Any sort of blanket ban is stupid before we have all the data. It's better to try different methods that parents want to try and that will provide us the data for future generations.

People didn't want to compete with H1Bs being paid $60k for $120k jobs. Well, soon people will have to compete with AI and robots being "paid" even less. Like bro do you wanna compete with a robot that costs $20k+$1k in electricity who can work 24/7, can work twice as fast, and won't sue the boss?

1. We don't have a choice.
2. In theory robots doing all the work is great .. IF everyone can own a piece of it, and get dividends from it. That means individuals should invest in companies that make or use robots. And government should do that too, and fund a universal basic housing and income program from the dividends.

Nothing yet (well maybe enough for daily beans and rice if you can cook). But we have to start somewhere, as a pilot. When the economy gets more automated, GDP goes up, and jobs get more scarce, the amount shall increase.

They didnâ(TM)t pay or something? Does a doctor ask you for monthly payments after they cure you? I agree workers should be taken care of, but thatâ(TM)s something the government needs to do . Itâ(TM)s not the problem of a specific company that we canâ(TM)t find work. Ask productivity increases with robotics and AI we will need a Ujiversla Basic income. In fact I think we should implement something ASAP - say $30 a month for anyone who wants it. Presumable 300 million people .. thatâ(TM)s 9 billion a month $108 billion a year. Federal budget is $6.3 trillion.. so weâ(TM)re talking about 1.7% .. less than 2% ..of the current federal budget.

I suppose the question is if AI companies can really 'do their nonsense', as a big chunk of the assumed value is the ability for the AI to displace IP generation.

I feel like I've read a bunch of them had pivoted already. I recall one audio interview that had the guy point blank declare his pivot. They were all people and companies I never had heard of before.

Every time people hear what it actually involves is outrage and opposition, at least all the way back to when Intel first announced that they wanted to hardcode identity numbers inside CPUs in 1999. But the corporations involved have been relentless, and have sunk countless billions of dollars steadily forcing it forwards, and building front organizations to obfuscate and whitewash it.

With Windows 11, Microsoft was finally able to FORCE Trusted computing hardware into every new computer. Not just every new Windows computer, but every computer.

Every new Intel PC CPU has built in Trusted Computing enforcement hardware. Every new AMD PC CPU has built in Trusted Computing enforcement hardware. Every new ARM PC CPU has built in Trusted Computing enforcement hardware. The only processor lines that DON'T have it are the microcontrollers.

There are some unlocked smartphones available, but as far as I can determine it's literally impossible to buy a smartphone that doesn't have hardware trusted computing built in.

I specified that enforcing Trusted Computing at the internet access level is still a long term goal, they couldn't get away with it today. However they are well on the way to success. Virtually all new hardware supporting trusted computing, all the front groups rolling out standards and systems, and as it gets incorporated into things everyone is going to increasingly running into situations where they get locked out of stuff if they're not Trusted Computing compliant. Streaming already restricts you to the worst quality if you're not compliant, and it's only going to get worse as pre-Win11 computers fade out and as more things require it.

a doozie to debug

It's more a case of the fox being in charge of the chicken coop; or bank robbers gaining control of the bank.

The job of the press in a democracy is to hold officials up to scrutiny.

You know outside walls also have outlets.

Battery is a separate and optional concern, sounds like they largely expect these to be grid-tied.

So no particularly significant problems, though some folks may misunderstand how much a kilowatt of peak solar will give them in a given month, but it'll probably be cheap enough to be worth it.

I'd hardly call exact date of birth "low information content".

And yes this does reveal exact date of birth, regardless of the bullshit obfuscation that it supposedly only reports age range. The server simply tracks the reported result every time the user connects, and on some specific day the result CHANGES to announce their date of birth.

This is based on SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts), brought to you by the same fuckers making Trusted Computing and the TMP (Trusted Platform Module). It's part of the same shitstack to prohibit you from altering your software and to lock you out of your own files, and to send spy reports out over the internet so you can be cut off if you "fail" the Trusted Computing check.

The software can use a TPM's (Trusted Platform Module) Sealing function to encrypt your data such that it's impossible to access your own data if the software is modified. It can then pass control over that data only to software updates that carry a signed security certificate from Broadcom (or any other company using this system).

It is no longer open source, your system no longer works as you can no longer access your Sealed data if you change so much as a single letter of the code. Even recompile unaltered code won't work, unless you magically manage to get your build environment absolutely identical to the company's build environment and get byte-for-byte output. Even that may be impossible with the newer levels of non-deterministic compiler optimizations.

Also, with TMP's Remote Attestation feature can be used to transmit your machine's software configuration over the internet, so that you can be cut off if your system doesn't match Broadcom (or other company's) cryptographically signed certificate.

And then of course there's Network Access Control (NAC) / Trusted Network Connect (TNC). In the long term, the goal is for ISPs to use NAC/TNC to interrogate your computer for Trusted Computing compliance, and deny you any internet access whatsoever if your machine isn't compliant. Software with this sort of "security" certificate would pass inspection, while any attempt to alter the code would be detected as "tampering". You then get "quarantined". What "quarantine" means is that you are denied internet access - with the exception that you do get very restricted access which can only be used to download the approved software to "fix" your computer into Trusted Computing compliance.

More like 'neutral', Cursor is by no means the only path to vibe code and OpenAI's models are by no means the only models (in fact, generally viewed poorly in those circles). So OpenAI making it harder for Cursor users won't make a dent in the general scheme of things.

From an economic standpoint, you absolutely have to count training as a facet. If everyone cuts back on scale up, then nvidia, memory vendors, and various other players in that space take a hit. Maybe a troubled AI company can cut out its capex by pausing training, but the downstream impact still is in the broader market.

But even the capex exposure may be hard to shake, given how much debt and purchasing commitments are in play.
