Which is why this is suspicious. Just how do they intend to make up for the revenue losses? What fresh hell will the next "update" do to us?

Yes, Windows is slowed down mightily by the constant telemetry feeds, the ad campaigns and sheer bad code sloth.

They are not benevolent, and so their intentions are entirely suspect.

Every neural net is a multi-dimensional model; there is nothing new about this, and the anthropomophizing of Claude doesn't mimic human consciousness. All computers behave like humans because humans invented them and interface with them; we humans are their root.

The data training of all LLMs has been human-based data. So if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's still a duck, and not a human.

The attempt to make AI appear human is also related to its legal status, and many are trying to goad public policy into recognizing AI agents, MPC and RPC, as humans for legal purposes. It's programmed date in matrices. Don't guild the lily, or in some cases, the turd.

Don't let them. It's both ethically, and morally incorrect to do so. Placing trust in AI is the same trust that corporations should have; which is none, as their vehicles designed to aid their investors, and *no one else*.

And it has always been thus.

Stacking is not new. Heat dispersion problems that kill it are not new. A chip when heat-dispersed with a heat sink apparatus has known characteristics, but non-linear things happen when you heat both sides without some kind of temperature control method; chips bend, and then strange things happen.

This is news to cook the stock price, and maybe this generation of "advance".

That's not how engineers use AI agents any more. We don't just look at what it says — we have it prove that it's doing the right thing. We just look at the proof, so we don't have to look at all the details, nor blindly believe what they AI says. We also have adversarial reviews, which are typically more thorough (but less experience-based) than human reviews.

He fired 100,000 government workers, putting many of them on government assistance for a while. That wasn't taking away people's money and prosperity?

He took political power away from millions. That's pretty much a zero-sum game right there. It's not just the wealth, it's using the wealth to influence the levers of power that control so many aspects of our lives.

Yeah, it's funny how those deluded by Trump think/pretend that they're the sane ones.

> When people like you get your way, that's how failed states happen.

No, failed states happen because of corruption. Like the USA is experiencing now.

Wait, what?! Are you completely unaware of the Russian oligarchs?

Right, did you really expect Americans to elect a black woman?! We're in this situation because we have enough racists and misogynists that we're not able to elect a smart competent black woman over an exceptionally incompetent, corrupt buffoon. Anyone who says we're not a racist country is ignoring the plain facts — many would rather see the downfall of our nation than to hand over control to a black woman.

Right, sometimes it's about personal power instead of personal wealth. Corruption, either way.

If they don't have admin/root rights on their own machine... more is the pity.

If a Meta employee hasn't figured out how to use an intervening device driver with a random number generator-with-timer, maybe another gig is in order.

I believe in human rights, too. But any good hacker has sufficient skill to thwart such madness whilst still doing their job. Oh, and I'll be there's an AI vibe code generator they could use with but one token to get the job done.

I've been a CLI coder for decades. Mouse use mostly gets in my way.

Has Musk ever started a non-profit? I call bullshit — I don't believe Musk has ever had any interest in a non-profit. It's just not in his nature.

That's OK. Your iris data will be uploaded to Palantir to match up with your other biometric information, along with the total dossier that is you.

This will be compared to the Amazon adware databases, vetted against your FBI profile, crosschecked with Google, purchased by Meta, aligned with various space lasers through the Starlink Alliance, and weighed against various API sets for corroboration.

You were screwed years ago.

Evolution always applies because of random mutations, and the fact that all 8billion of us have not yet mated with the remaining 4billion or so. We have no idea what comes of that.

Add in causal mutations, meaning the introductions of new pressures on DNA. Microplastics in life comes to mind. Add increased radiation by harming or altering the atmosphere that serves as our shield from certain death.

Selective bacteria, viruses, microRNA, enter the picture.

We might evolve, but we always mutate; except for clone humans, we're 100% the combination of two trees of life merging, your mother and father. Currently, we have no other selective medium to alter the combo. Yes, CRISPR and other technologies can be introduced. Selective zygote assays as a filtration mechanism. Never marry that (fill in the blank of undesired pseudo-tribe).

Weaker might be better; it's surmised that survivors of Bubonic Plague had their own weaknesses that became selective strength. Of those that have celiac-related diseases naturally didn't eat contaminated bread-- and there was a LOT OF THAT. Or those that survived mild/dairy-borne diseases.

Evolution doesn't stop; evolution is a subjective determination. Mutation is the objective observation.
