- Comment on Robot dogs priced at $300,000 a piece are now guarding some of the country’s biggest data centers 3 hours ago:
Think about Oppenheimer and the atomic bomb. Yes, the research created a weapon of massive destruction, but the same underlying science led to nuclear energy, medical isotopes, and countless other peaceful applications.
Most engineers aren’t working to create harm; they’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. The bad uses are real, but they don’t erase all the good that comes from that knowledge. The moral responsibility for how technology is applied sits with those who choose to deploy it, not the nerds building it.

They feel shame and embarrassment like the rest of us.

Not really. The people who designed these are nerds like us that want to push the boundaries of science. If they don’t do it someone else will.
The people that choose what to apply them too are the ones with poor morals. You could build these things and only sell them to places that use them for monitoring things like they do in dangerous factories these days.

Why is that?
Would you be able to change the IMEI as I would have thought those were encoded on the hardware chip. If you could it means they couldn’t blacklist the phone if you stopped paying.
Paying you can spoof it

Are those figures to end those things for good or just a year?
I agree with the sentiment just curious about the figures.

Cool username.
Erm… What is flat earth about then? Genuinely curious. Is that to be anti-establishment? As that’s me but I’m bit anti-science. Or is something else.

Fair point on the glasses but my understanding if they show when recording and ultimately if someone wants to perv on me then they’ll do with or without glasses.
Do you have the same anger towards spy cameras like a lapel camera?
TIL I leaned asking why is toddler behaviour, rather than trying to understand your reservations.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 1 day ago:
And did you have the same outrage when phone cameras became a thing.
I don’t know about you dude but if I’m a urinal and someone is looking at me I’m having words regardless of any device they’re holding.
For what it’s worth fuck meta but right now you’re old man shouting a clouds.
You sound like the right wingers saying what’s to stop a trans person raping me in the toilet.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 1 day ago:
This is an example of where you do have the expectation of privacy. Although a bathroom may be in public it’s not legally a public area.
I do street photography so I have checked the rules in my country.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 1 day ago:
People could do that before meta glasses. I’m not talking about governments here. I’m talking about regular people and you have no illusion of privacy in public. Pretty common sense that.

Yeah I’ve seen those. The mind that thinks up these things aye.

I’d build and use one of these if I could get the explosives to go with it and the address of a CEO.
- Comment on Dumb glasses 2 days ago:
People could do that before bro. Phone, DSLR, etc.
You have no assumption of privacy in public. If this hypothetical stalker is following you then they’ll do that with or without meta glasses.

I used to party hard and I’ve got fucked up with people going on about Covid vaccine as we are actively doing lines off a fucking table. When id point it out they’d say that’s different.
Idiots.

Wait you know more than one anti-vaxxer and they all/both order dick pills, what are the odds.
Also, they don’t just sell them in the pharmacy like in the UK?
- Comment on Dumb glasses 2 days ago:
I don’t care about being filmed in public. After all I’m in public, if I want privacy I’ll go somewhere else.
Obligatory fuck meta though.
- Comment on A sudden epiphany. 3 days ago:
That’s me. Then I got a job as a software developer but most my colleagues when to university so they always going on about bougie words like polymorphism, dependency injection, etc.
We coined the term that I am a working man’s software developer. I can do all those bougie words but I just can’t articulate what they are. Nor do I care to to be honest.

- Comment on Quit ChatGPT: right now! Your subscription is bankrolling authoritarianism | Rutger Bregman 2 weeks ago:
I’m a software developer for a small company with the two owners being the engineers and they have a Copilot subscription. It saves you countless man hours.
Looking up documentation is very rare now as it’s consumed that much data. It’s not perfect but it’s not we are vibe coding either it’s more like intellisense n steroids. We have lots of practices for how we do things and it learns from that context.
I wouldn’t pay for it for personal use but business use it’s actually great for us.

Are you saying sabotage the rich kids swings? Thats awful. Like something done shit to your park so you’ll pay it forward to other innocent kids. Terrible behaviour. You should be mad at the people doing it and take it out on them or the rule makers.

Well it shows how advertisers can get ChatGPT to recommend products for its clients. Which isn’t ideal to say the least.
