Did an AI do that on its own though? I heard it was human mathematicians using a sophisticated machine as a tool.

You would need institutions to do this? What do we have besides global megacorps with the resources for this? Universities perhaps training models for their local catchment?

It's ineptitude. Of course it is. Otherwise it would be indefensible. EDIT in which I clumsily express my weariness at hearing some of the smartest people in the world claim they “didn’t know” because they have arbitrated foolishness a

You need a system that does gait analysis, which requires upgrades across the board. All those sunk costs on pervasive facial recon systems. Sucks teeth.

As Phil Zimmerman might opine, it’s not so much about defying every attack, it’s moreso about making it more difficult en masse by increasing the unit cost. Though perhaps in the 90s surveillance tech wasn’t quite scaling as quickly as it

It’s not. Try pulling updates after a rebase. Very much not the same as piping arbitrary disembodied text into your shell.

Precisely the reason is to give breathing room for big players to invest in development of technology so they can capitalise exclusively for a period

Pharma and Healthcare was the implication I believe. The US approach to these things has a bad reputation internationally though I am informed that it’s an amazing system if you’re rich.

At least they’re allowing their colonies to have elections

Yeah I think that’s done. Tragically this technique coupled with a poor selection of materials was the structural cause of the grenfell fire. We see this kind of panelling around various European cities. “Cladding” it is called and it serve

I actively skip stuff that’s on substack just like I do medium and blogger. Maybe there’s good stuff on there but it’s usually a by-word for slop. I figure if anyone has anything that interesting to say they’d make the effort and put it up

> If there are tens of thousands, it may make you feel less bad about tossing them. That’s a great point. It doesn’t eliminate the problem but it helps break it up a bit, which is definitely helpful.

I had considered this. Up cycling them as eco bricks but that’s nearly as destructive as burning. Life would be so much easier if I had no qualms.

That’s no good to me. It’s the physical volumes I need to get rid of. I couldn’t give a fiddlers about what’s in them

I have lots of old books that aren’t very good. That I can’t give away. What do I do with them? I have this strange taboo feeling about destroying books, even bad ones!

Unless you’re hoping the regulators will build you a moat. Stupid, yeah but that’s the kind of thinking that a highly leveraged and desperate situation breeds.

Maybe that’s the point!

My main issue was it was bricked. I had given up on it and then just got an email out of the blue. Just because I bought direct from them I guess. They didn’t demand any proof or that I send the device back or anything. They just gave me th

How’s this for a working theory. Economic actors that were established doing the “easy stuff” that got displaced first got a head start on everyone else and started low balling on the harder stuff and that’s why we’re seeing impacts in the

> You can’t really call it a pro-piracy message though. Of course not. That would probably infringe on advertising standards. But it is the clear implication.
