Profit over people? Say it ain't so!

Come on, she's a mere millionaire. Now she's got to waste all that hard-earned money on lawyers.

There ain't no justice, I tells ya...

It doesn't matter what the price is, this is the only way to get real money out of the Steam economy. After selling all those CS2 skins for insane amounts, you buy a Steam Deck and hock it for cash. Of course it's going to sell out.

All Input Is Evil

So they just have to incorporate the phrase "not produced with AI" somewhere in the video and it'll be undetectable.

Sorry, but what? What mass surveillance? This isn't mass surveillance at all, any more than me having a dash cam is mass surveillance. If someone does something dangerous around me in my car, endangering the people in my car, you can bet your bottom dollar I'm going to share that with the police. Why on earth would a School bus driver not too?

Amazon Leo isn't quite operational yet, but it's getting pretty close.

The fact that they wonâ(TM)t throw away the second stage on every launch will also probably reduce those capital costs. A launch on starship should deliver 20 times the bandwidth, for 1/40th the cost.

It sounds cooler than "baddies"

I, for one, can't wait to be able to lie back and have a movie generated for me on demand. I don't think I'd even need to give a very specific prompt: they should have enough tracking data about me to know what I like. Maybe they can even insert uncannily specific product placements for me to enjoy, so as not to break immersion. Afterwards, I can discuss the movie with my AI chatbots and fulfill my socialization needs.

What a lonely future we have planned.

There was a certain baseline of trust in human laziness. A lot of security was "good enough" given the assumption that "nobody would possibly waste their time exploiting this complex loophole."

Now that you can automate all this, you can't even trust in human laziness anymore.

This is good long-term, but what fraction of routers, smartphones, IOT devices, cameras, cluster servers, ... really get patched? Would be interesting to see among Linux devices a survival curve or market share of Linux v3, v4, v5. No one (except maybe intelligence agencies) has that data though.

We can bet that black hats iterate through all accessible devices and try to gain access. They might patch flaws to avoid others getting in, but will keep a backdoor for themselves. So it will be extremely hard to tell. We do not have something like brickerbot to turn unpatched devices noticeable.

Apparently it was a marketing strategy. They expose your private transactions to the public, so other people feel more comfortable using it. And I guess people either didn't know or didn't care.

Hell, some people prefer it that way so they can show off I guess? Think of it as the equivalent of flashing your wad in a fancy restaurant, back when it was fashionable to carry fat wads of cash.

I'll buy one as long as it's compatible with my favorite Ono-Sendai trodes. It's the only way I will jack into the Matrix.

The year is 203X. The UK government has instituted a strict curfew on snacking after 6:30 PM. Sales of Walkers crisps have plummeted and the economy is in turmoil. A new gang of smugglers emerge from the strife, known only as the Snackrunners. This is their story...
