The other angle/question I had for some time: How much closed source software is really "closed", when one could try to brute-guess the prompt that was used to generate it?

How much security benefits closed source software would still have remaining?

P.S. AI-powered reverse-engineer (to automate all those tedious repetitive 99% of work) may be a fun topic too.

it is what you want to say, not me obviously, stop lying.

If the AI slop is an obstacle to the successful deployment of neoliberal slop, are we all a lot better off?

What is the engineering problem whose solution is more and more intrusive ads? Did you misspell "neoliberal problem"?

Remember when sites let you refresh without first waiting for an ad to load? Is that neoliberal slop?

There are literally millions of people doing nothing today, what you are advocating here has already happened, why aren't you happy anyway, is it because it's never enough? AFAIC everyone who can work should be taking care of himself/herself, government must not steal from one to subsidize another, especially in the system basically designed for complete corruption (and it is designed for complete corruption).

It is up to everyone individually to survive on this planet, if there are too many people unable to survive then it's a self correcting issue - they will not survive.

Is GDP real? What are the error bars and why don't they report them?

"You must wait a little bit (2 minutes) before using this resource; please try again later."

Is there a physical constraint on the resource or is it an imposed arbitrary constraint that cynically uses the idea of scarce resources as an excuse, when actually the scarcity is entirely man-made?

What is the impact on GDP of smartphones, and should we even be using GDP growth as a criteria of success when it produces lower fertility, higher suicides, and its error margins are so wide anyway that economists, intellectually dishonestly, don't even report it?

What if GDP is a totem that only has meaning because economists believe in it and get everyone to hallucinate its reality?

What if the stock market continues to boom, producing revenue for all, while GDP declines because of overabundance?

Why can't you use words (autoomated for the lazy by AI!) against words? Why are you so afraid of words that you can only ban?

Do bans get you the outcome you want, or will endless cycles ensure that what you ban will, like Trump, end up winning elections?

Since productivity is unobservable, do dismal economists fail to find it rising whenever they don't want to?

I'm happy that the USB-A is being phased out. Mainly because there are still too many fancy over-beautified USB-A plugs that are (a) large and (b) block neighboring USB ports.

So far, this wasn't a problem with USB-C, since it's too small to be f*cked up by the marketing.

P.S. But I guess it's only matter of time before they find a way to screw over USB-C too. "Progress."

P.P.S. Let's not forget that some companies still insist on using "USB 2.0 Mini" connector. In the past we had to stack Serial<->PS2<->USB adapters for the mice and the keyboards. In future we might need to stack adapters to connect those few remaining USB-Whatever oddballs.

How weak and fragile do you have to be to get pushed away though, and why not just block those posts (I bet AI can help detect them for you automatically!) instead of reflexively reaching for the banhammer?

What if we all just blocked at our clients what we find offensive, instead of letting mods decide fof us?

Why does banning on social media make me more depressed than anything prople actually say? What if I resent the taking away of my freedom to respond to (or, lazily, just block) posts I disagree with?

drone batteries have to be heated otherwise drones may not even take off, Ukrainian soldiers in the field use all sorts of ways to keep the batteries warm, for example chemical hand warmers are used for this.
