No no those other countries will pay the tariffs.
- Comment on Open Source devs say AI crawlers dominate traffic, forcing blocks on entire countries 1 week ago:
The Internet has always been like that even before the AI stuff got up to stream. If you expose anything to the public Internet it takes about 5s for things to start port scanning if they can it try WordPress/Drupal exploits.

- Comment on GoneWild was once about people feeling wild and posting pictures of it. Now it's just OnlyFans sale 1 month ago:
It’s a reference to a specific Internet connected adult toy called a lush3. Cam Girls and only fans people connect them to their chats so the fans can control how much it vibrates. Since it’s Wi-Fi connected it has a tail that sticks out to improve the connection.

- Comment on Google abandons 'do no harm' AI stance, opens door to military weapons 1 month ago:
I mean of course they did. A public company can not be trusted to leave money on the table. The only thing that might slow them down is the bad press that might erode good will. In this climate though they were always going to strap Gemini to a machine gun.

- Comment on Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior' 2 months ago:
Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think ‘oh, the lawnmower hates me’ – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle. — Brian Cantrill

I think a good comparison is Bell Labs and AT&T. A lot of good work was done by Bell Labs but it was mostly enabled by AT&Ts monopoly.
