You're blissfully unaware of how laws work.

There are certain crimes that can be prosecuted and punished in the UK even if they were committed in Thailand or Antarctica. It is sufficient that they can get to you somehow, for example via an Interpol arrest request or an extradition order or by freezing your assets, etc.

Don't trust me, look it up, I'm sure chatgpt can fill you in.

That's "all they are doing" after quite the backlash from users, so it isn't really all they were planning to do.

There aren't. These who claim to think so actually think they're not at risk to be spied on.

Now you know who is the enemy that has to be monitored constantly. And if you have nothing to hide, well, what's the difference, right?

yep. I frequent a couple of oldfart websites that have largely kept the 90a layout and I'm not sorry.

I thought google killed the Usenet long time ago, my alt.binaries.pictures compatriot.

But yeah, in-person networking in places where we don't show even our lips to Hal's eye might become a thing again.

That's a rather strange trial. If that's the residence of this guy, then obviously these are his monitoring cameras, so it is his copyright.

Is there an expectation of privacy from me in my home?

And the biggest reason for its massive enshittification are exactly the "shoshul media" sites that TFS is lamenting for, where people go for shock content or to watch fakery and commentaries that align with what they like. So it isn't such a big loss, after all.

Perhaps eventually a dark net for humans with verification in-person will appear and leave that other internet to the chatbots.

Someone go make a movie about it.

But imagine the amount of profit potential it will create for the insider community.

Like every other bubble not deflated on time, eventually the government will foot the bill, not a big secret.

Dream on, the orange shitgibbon has been whining about trumpistan "not getting the oil of Iraq" for years. In fact, that's the only complaint he's ever had about that very successful war.

So, he started one of his own to show everyone how it is done.

We'll see how it will end, it is quite possible the Iraqi catastrophe will be judged as major success next to the trump Iranian war.

The library of Alexandria wasn't burned because people didn't like it, it was first party burned because of a special military operation, then after the occupation it fell into decay because knowledge was judged unnecessary for the occupied, and finally razed because its books were too woke for some fundamentalist dimwit with a grudge against ideas he didn't like. So, no, not the same at all.

Perhaps you're confusing the history of the Alexandria library with the one of Herostratus and the Temple of Artemis?

Yes, it works at least with the local models I've tried, as easy as subbmitting the whatever model requires, usually something like "thinking":true or false in the request.

Yes, but that's not "good" in my book.

Levitated dipole was proposed IIRC in the late 80s, there were one or two experiments funded by the US NSF or DoE IIRC. The one at MIT was wound down because it turned out to be worse than the tokamak. I see that the MIT guy is on the team, so the startup is basically a direct descent of that US DoE funded project.
